Any particular reason you're using the exact same avatar as Crashy Time?

Paranoid much Colombo? I've not touched my avatar, so i guess the queens face on a tenner is the default pic.

I've done just more research into it by typing 'mobile home own land'.

Sounds like a lot more trouble than first thought, which is a shame really as it seemed a good idea in principal.

Now what I'm thinking is why do people buy land which they cannot build on or do anything with?

well people farm

and people hope to make a killing if planning permission is given in the future

You can purchase your own piece of peaceful nirvana. You just won't be able to build any form of residential property on it or it would be 30+ times the price.

Yeah, I'm getting a better understanding of it all now. Buying land etc is not something I've researched a whole lot into up until this weekend.

Sill can't see why anyone would pay money out for land which you 'apparently' own, but really you do not though regardless if "things may change" or not in the future with it.

It all just seems a very communistic policy to me.

you do own the land and you can normally use it for permitted purposes : usually agricultural are permitted.

Wow. You're obviously not new to house debating forums.

I don't doubt you haven't touched it since you joined ~ you only joined today. Or, to be more precise, you only started using your new username today.

I know someone who bought some land and rents it out to a couple of people who graze their horses.

It is a good wee earner for them.

I haven't got a clue what you are talking about, but if you have nothing constructive to add, please stay out of my thread.

All land has a designated use. It can only be used for its designated use. To do something different on it, you have to apply for planning permission.

e.g. if my garden (garden land) is next to a field, I can't buy a bit of the field and extend my garden as it's different land.... and building/development/living on land is the most expensive to buy and difficult to change the use of.

Services to land could be multiple thousands... unless you get a bit with water (but then will it flood?).

If it were that easy we'd all have bought land 30-50 years ago and put shacks up on it. We didn't, because we can't.

You could buy a woodland, for logs for your woodburner. Some people buy a bit beside a river, to go camping/fishing. Some buy land for their horses. Lots of reasons to own land.

Why would you think this is spam, it is a genuine question.

Because it's a ridiculous plan, and a user with a name very similar to yours is always spamming the forum with lunatic plans when what he should be doing is sorting his life out.

Your lunatic plan, and similar username, suggests that you are he.
