My family has an interest in a piece of farmland which we wish to
sell
to another beneficial owner. We have instructed valuers to provide
a
value, but they have given an estimate for providing the valuation
of
between £750 and £1200 (priced at £120 per hour). I am not a
surveyor, but given that the plans show the area, and that
calculators
are cheap (I've got a free one on my computer), how can this
involve
anything more than a) visiting the plot and determining the quality
of
the land, and b) having decided what the price of that type of land
in
that area generally goes for, multiplying cost-per-acre x
number-of-
acres.

£1 for the hammer, £1000 for knowing where to hit it

Don't forget to include an uplift clause in the sale contract in case
the next Milton Keynes gets built on it.
