Ok so just as a paper excercise over coffee I notice the following farm for sale: http://m.rightmove.co.uk/quickPage....38569294&goto=RESALE_PROPERTY_DETAILS#details
Now as a 31 year old farmer with hopefully a few years ahead of me can selling our current 330 acre farm, with free range hens, pigs and a collection of houses and purchasing the above be made to stack up?!
For the basis of simplicity I'm assuming I'd have to find half the £8.25 million asking price and that our machinery fleet could transfer straight over and handle the workload.
£4.125 million at 5% over 25 years equals repayments of £292'668 or £407/acre per year.
Gulp. Best be content with where I am, although in 25 years time it might seem cheap?!
Has anyone took the plunge with a venture like this (not that I will be!) best thing you've ever done or did it break you?
