My father died and has left 12Ac of land which was supposedly "managed" by a local farmer
Now it has 10m wide hedges and a thick thatch etc
I've seen that horsey types are renting £1,200/year/Ac. Presumably with a stable, decent fencing etc
I've stuck an ad up to see what interest there is and I'm being offered £1500 for all 12Ac a year
Is that really all it's worth ? Land costs £25k an acre around here so it doesn't make sense to me
Long term it will go for housing but thats probably 25yrs away
Is there any other uses I should look at, I don't want the hassle of dividing it all up to 12 different people etc
If its only worth so little, I'd rather build a Moto X track on it
