    Is this land a no go?

    Hi just an update if anyone is interested. Managed to get personal contact details for the owner and they told us there is drainage, a burn and the land has never been prone to flooding. Apparently it was used as a fully worked small holding for years but in the last 10 their parents got older...

    Is this land a no go?

    Thank you everyone for your advice, sounds like the rushes could be treated but it wont be easy and my priority is to find out whether it is a bog or not. Contacted the estate agent today and they have closed down completely for viewings so we have a few weeks to think about it as it looks like...

    Is this land a no go?

    I am really hoping the land is dry enough for them, I have just looked on google maps and think I can see a burn hidden down behind the house. We won’t know more until we can view it but thought I would try do some research on rushes as this will be a completely new lifestyle for us. There are...

    Is this land a no go?

    Yes I think digging a couple holes is a great idea, we are just waiting on the estate agent reopening so we can arrange a viewing and get permission to enter the land.

    You have given me great hope! I do still wonder if the rushes are as a result of neglect, that is my hope anyway.

    Is this land a no go?

    As long as I could use it for grazing I would be happy, I wouldnt want to be in a situation where I was having to rent paddocks elsewhere for alpacas as they would most likely be stolen when out of eyesight. It is in central Scotland ???????

    Here is a picture of the land in the listing (I have crossed out the property to protect their privacy) would have been taken around oct/nov from reading when the home report was completed. It looks like a different field! I must note I am in Scotland so constant rain haha.

    Is this land a no go?

    There is a very steep hill to the left of this land which is owned by a farmer which he uses for sheep. This land is at the bottom of that hill. Not any that I could see but due to the current covid situation I was not able to enter the land to get a good look however I do not think so, it is 8...

    Is this land a no go?

    The home owners passed away, they lived in it for over 3 decades and so there is no available information about the land. The actual home is lovely and as I said very rare in my location so I am majorly disappointed about the land.

    Is this land a no go?

    Hello, I am looking at purchasing a small holding, where I am from they are few and far between so choice is restricted. One has come up locally however the paddocks are infested with rushes. I would intend to use this land for stocking alpacas. All I know about rushes are what I have managed...
