When it comes to locating a smallholding for sale, you'll quickly realise your high street estate agent has little idea of what's currently available. Fortunately the Internet provides one place to trawl through all the classified adverts out there. There are even dedicated land agents that regularly have land suitable for a smallholding on their books.
The problem of locating land for sale is confounded by the fact that land is often sold off-market. This means that for whatever reason, the vendor does not want their land for sale to be advertised publically making it difficult for Joe Public to stay informed. We recommend contacting a number of land agents to register your interest so they can contact you once they do acquire smallholding opportunities.

Land for housing in the UK is scarce, and smallholdings for sale are being snapped up quickly. A recent report by Knight Frank for the second quarter of 2008, has shown a 10.4 per cent increase in farmland prices. The result of this is the annual price increase of 37.5 per cent.
A RICs survey reveals that the avergage farmland price for the first half of 2008 has risen by 24 per cent, with arable land increasing by 32 per cent. RICS spokesperson, Julian Sayers said: "Ever rising commodity prices have pushed the price of farmland to record highs as farmers and investors compete for arable land. However, the days of the lifestyle buyer are on the wane. The credit crunch is putting an end to city expansion into the country as the precarious financial situation has made city slickers re-think their lifestyle priorities."
