Evening all, my name is Alex and I'm from Suffolk. Last year my father in law passed away and left my wife and brother in law 5.5 acres of land in North devon. We have been down there afew times when the land was officially passed on to my wife and her brother. And have since spend £5000 getting the land cleared as it was very overgrown as it had been left for along time without any proper care. My father in law always wanted to do something with it but once he moved from Devon to Suffolk many years ago. It got wild and ran away with him. Since my wife and her brother have got it. They are looking at a way that it could make an income.. we had a guy who cleared the land and was informed it will need cutting maybe twice a year.. as we are 300 odd miles away we were looking for options to earn an income from the land either possible build on it or rent it out. I think we are trying to rent it out so the expense of getting the land cut every year will pay for its self rather than us having to spend money on the land that we are not getting or anyone getting any use out of. It has a well that we are going to get reinstatted and a couple of iso containers on the land as well as a small shed. There is also 2 smaller wooded areas. Sorry if this is long winded. We are new to owning land and would like to get peoples advice / ideas on what to do with it rather it getting all out of control again.
Many thanks for your time

Alex
