Land Advice

Looking a bit of advice!!

I have a small piece of land approx. 1/3 acre.

I have full planning permission on it but it has been for sale for 3-4 years and no joy of selling.

I have built a house so I was just looking to sell to it as I dont need it!!

The land is in the country, does anyone have any thoughts as to what I could do with it to make some money of it??

By the way it is not land for animals or anything like that!!!

  • veg plot??

    Ring council and ask do they need allotments....I believe that some councils are on a big drive for this atm....it may be worth thinking about?

    What issues were there from the neighbours? If you're marketing the land while there are on-going arguments then yeah, you're on a loser. However if the issues have been settled then why are they a hurdle? How do prospective purchasers know about the issues? Maybe a bit of professional help to get this ironed out will bring forward a sale.

    I was going to suggest offering the land to the neighbours - but then they were probably the ones making your life a misery.
