  • I'm afraid I cannot offer you any viable advice - my knowledge of horses amounts to me regularly losing my dosh on them at the bookies ;) - other than to replicate a very old joke:

    "How do you make a small fortune out of horses?

    Start with a large fortune.”

    Good luck! :)

    As you are purchasing land wouldn't a commercial mortgage be worth looking at?
    But a banker, engaged at enormous expense,
    Had the whole of their cash in his care.

    It is nice to see the value of your house going up'' Why ?
    Unless you are planning to sell up and not live anywhere, I can;t see the advantage.
    If you are planning to upsize the new house will cost more.
    If you are planning to downsize your new house will cost more than it should
    If you are trying to buy your first house its almost impossible.

    It is a good investment and I will continue to search although NFU seem to be very helpful.

    What is NFU, and what area of the counrty do you reside.

    Where are you based? Be aware agricultural land doesn't have a standard price, it seems to sell for staggeringly wide spread of £3,000 - £30,000/acre, even within a short distance - so the ask price for the land doesn't mean that's it's actual value - can you haggle it down?

    PADDYRG, where can one go to find land price at such cheap value. Not looking for a large place.

    You want to get into farming and you don't know what the NFU is :rotfl:. I'd rethink my plans if I was you and consider an industry that you actually know something about.
