Hi



I've been offered some land by a local farmer, but he wants me to tell him
how much it is worth to me and to get back to him!!! I've no idea - help!
There is 1.33 acres, not a huge amount to most I'm sure, but a good amount
for me having been inspired by Rosamund Young (only read her blog so far,
not her book), so I feel we must take up the offer.



However, I'd be grateful if you could let me know of any pitfalls to avoid
when renting land, what my responsibilities will be, whether I will be able
to plant things on what is, I'm presuming, pastureland etc. He said the
hedges were a bit scrappy, so I should have asked whether that is my
responsibility or his!



Should I insist on a proper agreement? Do I need insurance if I have
livestock?



Any pointers to websites which go into detail on this subject appreciated.



Thanks

Karen (Excited of Hampshire!)
