Woodland

Woodland is becoming an increasingly desirable asset for land owners and investors alike.

Until recently, finding quality woodland for sale in the UK was difficult for private individuals as most woodlands were reserved for timber farming and only available at substantial acreages, typically in Scotland or Wales.

Changes in UK lifestyle patterns and an increase in disposable income are factors that are now fuelling the demand for woodland. These reasons, as well as a growing public awareness of land value, have led to increasing amounts of woodland for sale in the private sector. In general, woodland remains a specialist sector that is usually services by specialist land agents, however idyllic woodland retreats are available to small private investors.

Woodland cannot be left unmanaged for too long and even smaller woods require steady maintenance.

Planning permission is rarely granted on woodland but temporary structures such as sheds are often allowed and caravans can be kept in woodland for up to twenty eight days a year.

The benefits of woodland ownership are twofold; woodland has many uses, including cycling, climbing, rambling and, more recently, paintball. It also enjoys the same increase in value as other forms of land, making it an ideal investment for many.
