Land purchase

[Conrad]

Have the option to buy 55 acres. 2 miles from yard. Needs some drainage. Only 50 acre farmable. 5 acres needs whines pulled and rock dug out. £8 k / acre. Milking 280 cows. We need more ground. Would I be better with less cows? Bank will lend money no problem. Young don't like to standstill either.

If you can comfortably afford the loan payments, then buy it.

If your not moving forwards, your moving back.

So true

Better than renting and if you need to you can sell it on again and it probly will be worth more then as they seam to have stoped makeing it.

Is this a trick question?

Its only dear the day you buy it. After that you just get on with it.

I'd look around and ask myself 'who else is in the running for this piece of difficult land? Am I having my plonker pulled by the agent (rare and unusual as this event might actually be). And is it better to wait for something bigger, better, easier to farm and nearer to come up?'

As it will, the day after you sign the contract for what may prove an over-priced burden on your developing business.

Avoid.

Short answer: if you needed to ask, you don't need it.

 

[CORNFLAKE]

Tricky one, no point buying it then having to keep even more cows to help service the debt, but if you need it to feed what you have got maybe you should go for it. sometimes you have to go with your gut instinct. Remember though that poorer land is the first to loose it's value in a down turn. Good luck.

You sound like my Dad!

And the reason I don't involve him in anything I do,he just held me back.

Any fool can run like an idiot , it takes a wise man to take his time and admire the view

It may also seem expensive each month when you have to find the £2k to service the debt and the wife is bugging you for money for mundane things like food or the washing machine having just sh!t itself. £8k an acre for bare mediocre grazing land is mental. There is no dyson wanting to buy this sort of pish so who is your competition?

Thanks a bunch you have just made my day a misery. You have just pee'd off Mrs Penmoel.

Mundane things like food!!!! washing machine !!! They are essentials, be worse if she was asking for new shoes or powder and paint.

She has a bath tub and a pair of feet doesn't she. Everyone needs to make some sacrifice to get the acres!

 

[GTB]

I'd buy it, you can always sell if something more convenient comes along. Just make sure you aren't paying too much for it. Does anyone else want it ?

Christ you are a brave man! You come and tell her

Poppy cock, get it bought and if something else comes up bigger and better you have it to sell.
