Fields.co.uk - how to buy a field
Have you ever thought how satisfying it would be to own and manage your own field? This website is designed to help with finding a field, buying at auction and deciding how best to use it. We have sections on how to measure the land, fencing, access and making sure you have a good water source.
There are various ways to buy fields and meadows - auctions, local estate agencies or specialist national organisations such as www.woodlands.co.uk who have a dedicated section at http://www.woodlands.co.uk/buying-a-wood/meadows-and-fields/
Although at first glance one field may look much like another the variations are enormous. Consider these variations:
- soil type and quality of soil (land classification);
- topography and aspect - how slopey it is and which way it faces;
- rainfall;
- surrounding land;
- recent management - what has been planted how well it's been looked after;
- boundaries - whether fenced, hedged or walled;
- security - it there a gate and what other accesses are there?
- designations - how the authorities view the land such as it being a SSSI (Site of Special Scientific Interest).

looking to buy some land close to where i live in the hook or basingstoke area for the return of my horse and another. I currently cant keep my horse at my old livery just up the road from me as they are jam packed, so please if you know of a small plot of land say around half an acre to two acres in the RG27 postcode area would be brill. Thank you

If you buy a field at auction, what other expenses can you expect? For example insurance? surveyor?
Just so I can budget for it, Thanks! :)
