High prices for very small high density homes are the norm in the United
Kingdom. UK house prices are amongst the highest in the world in
comparison to comparable countries. The more land is a greater part of
the total house price the higher house prices become. An acre of
agricultural land can be purchased for £2,000, an attrcative, complete
eco kit home for £20,000, yet the average price of a house in the UK is
near to £200,000. Obtaining planning permission to erect a house in the
countryside in a country with a land surplus will be near impossible. Few
realise that the high land value is the reason why their homes are so
expensive.

OK so you can buy agricultural land for £2000 an acre


Thank you.
