Doesn't it seem mad the difference in pricing between areas. It just goes from one extreme to the other.
I just re-read my first post in the thread and it was slightly incorrect, I do pay £25 p/w but the entire yard is 5 acres, I get a piddly little field, hence moving. |

| certainly does seem to vary a lot but still nowhere near what this chap is wanting! not heard any more from him and have decided we are better off staying put, only a bit more to stay in yards with proper facilities and much nearer too. |

| Here in South Bucks I'm onto what I think is for this part of the country a very good deal. In the summer I have 5.5 acres (split into 2 high hedged + permanent mains electric fenced paddocks). From October to March I then move the gang about 300 yards down the road into 30 or so acres of private parkland, which I subdivide as I need. Water included, as is electricity. No school, but the 2 summer paddocks are perfectly okay for schooling in. Hacking fairly good, although extremely limited places to do fast work. I have a 20' container for general storage, plus space for hay and trailer. No stables - I don't want them (but if I needed a stable I could easily obtain use of one from near neaighbours). There are no other horses but my 4, so I can do pretty much my own thing. And if there's ever a problem, the Estate Manager is brilliant at getting things sorted quickly, and well. £270/month, which I'm very happy with. Was previously paying £370/month for 7.5 acres, no school, 2 stables (which I never used) and outbuildings, but had to give that up as the owner had plans to redevelop. |

| the guy has now told me it is not worth their while to rent it out as they can't get the rent they had hoped(ie 250 per wk!) and public liability insurance will cost him £2000 per yr. I dont quite get this as if that was the case then everyone would be charging a lot more to rent their land out. Does he really need public liability? Anyway he has decided not to rent it so thats the end of that, will have to look again. |

How much to rent a field?
