How much is coppice woodland worth an acre?

[william127]

Just out of curiosity how much is about an acre of hornbeam coppice woodland worth, in the south East? Thanks

A single acre or as part of a larger compartment?

 

If you sold a single acre in the SE I'd imagine you could get £18k upwards.

 

If you were selling 10 acres together I'd reckon 140-160k.

Are you talking about the timber or the land?

[Johnpl315]

If you are talking about the timber I would of said it's more likely to be priced per cubic meter extracted.

You don't often see coppice other than hazel or chestnut advertised so hard to know the going rate.

Depends on the acre and depends on the hornbeam. There's woods round Broxboune I'd pay £10/tonne for standing and there's bits I'd want paying to go near.

 

If you're selling, I'm interested; if you're buying, I've got some.

If your thinking of buying it goes for a lot. I've tried to get several coups in Broxbourne/Wormley Woods but they go for silly money as a play areas. Its a shame because they lovely woods but now lack a joined up management approach. There is some nice conifer in there too. That's if it hasn't all gone through Webb's stroke processor by now.

 

I'd of thought 10-12k an acre wouldn't be far wrong but round London small woods go for silly money. A few acres in St. Albans went for nearly 50k

morning Ian, I'd be very interested in buying some, would you be able to do 6 tonnes like last time or I could have 9 if you have it available? Thanks, William.

Thanks for all the answers, I was meaning the price for the land, all interesting to know though.
