600 Acer's and nothing

[OldVicarageEnterprisesLTD]

Possible the oddest way to get into farming but I may have been gifted 600acers of grass in a will.
Information is scratchy but it's been grass for over 40years it had the remains of a farm house and yard removed in the late 40s early 50s no connection to power water ect questionable hgv access. It's been cut till this year for dilate so access to modern kit just be possible somewhere around the land.
I have no start up capital if I accept the gift I can not sell it for 20years
If you where offerd this gift when you have no capital extremely limited experience would you take it I am allowed 2 sight visits of 1hr before I decide.

you don’t have much to loose, where is it located?

at worst just let it out, that sort of area will attract attention.

i would start by working out who is local on here, get TFF to credit check them and ask them their opinion.

you don’t need any start up ££ really

What's dilate

Silage I guess .... unless it’s a novel crop


Wish someone would gift me 600 acres

Something odd about this I think

 

[yellowbelly]

Have you had an email from a Nigerian solicitor telling you you're the only traceable relative of the deceased
Just seems a bit odd.

Don't part with any cash until you know it's genuine.

I would. The only acres I had given to me were because my undies were too tight!

OP’s name suggests he’s a 70/71 year old businessman with a reasonable asset base and management consulting background. I’d say this is either a wind up, a theoretical question or a start of a scam.

@OldVicarageEnterprisesLTD - Get a lawyer you trust to look things over before you go any further.

Its either been left to you in a will or it hasn't !! No ifs or buts !

 

[Kiss]

Sounds like an ideal spot for a dairy contract farmer, location is key or the contract they are already operating


being the owner of that amount of land with no debt I can’t see not having start up capital to hand being an issue!

 

[Highland Mule]

Why would you need a solicitor to do a site visit?

Sorry but if this isn’t a wind up then I’d be amazed.

 

[masseybreaker]

600 acres at £5000 a acre =3 million and they cant be arsed to bother

 

[Cowmansam]

Be worth more than 5 wouldn’t it if it’s cutting land
