If you are going to buy an existing smallholding this book will guide you through the process explaining what to look out for and how best to utilise what is there. If you want to buy a cheap smallholding then buy one with an agricultural tie as this could be up to 40% less than one without. It may then be possible to get the agricultural tie removed and make a profit over night. This is all explained in the book. The book also guides you through buying a smallholding with holiday lets and how to change their use to permanent lettings which are more profitable. It covers converting old farm barns into letting units within the current planning system.
This book looks at all of the elements that make up the holding, i.e. the house, buildings and land, location and its price. All of the methods that are used to sell properties are covered whether you are buying by private treaty, informal tender or at auction. All the restrictions that could have been imposed on the property in the past and their meanings are fully explained and how they would affect you if you bought the property. A full explanation is given of all of the rights of way or way leaves and easements that might cross the land, or be adjacent to it, and how they could affect your smallholding. How you can make money from cheap woodland and get two incomes and only pay tax on one of them.
