It can save a LOT
of search time if
you use the specific 'land/rural'
searcheson websites that combine lots of estate agents' properties.
Tip on checking a property's area:
To check the local environment & community statistics & amenties for any property,
use the search tools:

property-buying (above)

www.primelocation.com
A really good site combining many/most of the land estate
agents. It's a good
idea to use the 'keyword search - and type in "acre, paddock" which will pull
up all the properties with land.
Direct
link to 'keyword search'
You can search on up to 3 counties at any one time, very useful especially as
you can get interesting properties which might just be over the border of the
ones you are looking to move to.
We personally found 'Prime Location' to be the most consistently
useful website -
time-saving &
hassle-saving

|
www.ruralscene.co.uk
Although their properties are listed in Prime Location (above), this site is
worth a mention to anyone looking for a rural property with land to start a rural
business.
I found this site very useful when I was finding it hard to locate a suitable
property within budget - it gave me confidence that there were suitable properties
out there, even if some of them were out of our geographical or budget range
- be prepared to 'drool' over some of these though!

 |
www.teamprop.co.uk
Another useful site which combines many estate agents' properties.
Search by location AND amenities:
Useful search
which allows you to narrow down, or widen your search to very specific areas
(eg anywhere between 1 & 50 miles of a location name or postcode). You can choose
either 'paddock' or 'rural situation' to find properties of interest.
