so close to buying some woodland

[scraggs]

Good luck but I will be suprised if it does'nt make nearer or over the £10k mark.

Small plots are what people want

[sandspider]

we put in the offer which they said 'thank you very much but we're going with the auction. I thought they might.

I'm going to go and bid then in the competitive world of auction. Wish me luck. In truth I don't know how high I will go:confused1:

 

Get a maximum price in mind before the auction, and stick to it! It's easy to get tempted to bid higher than you can afford...

hire some travellers to move in on it for a month or so before the auction. Then pay em again to shove off once you get it for a gypsy song

£6K in the end. plus solicitors/auctioneers fees. Grand total £8K

Now I've got to decide exactly what I do with it.

[Mark Bolam]

Well done John, you must be well chuffed.

 

Buy land, they don't make it anymore!

Well done and now you can enjoy it. Reminds me of our woods we brought from the forestry commission 7 years ago , 22 acres of 50 year old douglas on an ancient woodland site. It was sealed bids and as we had lived in the middle 0f it for 2o years it it was a worrying time as we had treated it as are own anyway and the thought of someone else owning it and restricting our use would spoil our lifestyle. Anyway the commission land agent after numerous phone calls was on our side so suggested on the day we gave him 2 sealed envelopes, one with our highest bid and one with the lowest, which i took down to his office an hour before the closing time. He rang us later that afternoon to say we got it but at the highest bid, It turned out that the under bidder was Woodlands.co who on the day brought another wood just 1 field away, who then split it into 5 small parcels and sold them a silly prices, so a close call their.

Nice one, really pleased for you and glad I was wrong
