Step 2:
When a group of buyers is interested in putting in an offer, we connect the seller (land owner) with the group of buyers to agree the price and specifics of the deal.
Step 3:
Once the price is agreed, the land is taken off the market and the buyers and seller go through the legal process.
Step 4:
Once contracts have been exchanged and then completed the transaction. The buyers have bought the land 🥳 Now the real work begins!

About Land Buy
The Land Buy community brings together people who all want to own their own land. By joining forces, our community can invest in larger plots in locations that might otherwise be out of reach; opening the door to better opportunities, better value, and better land.From the Highlands of Scotland to the rolling fields of Oxfordshire, land is a precious resource. People seek it for many reasons; to build a home, grow a project, or simply to have a place to call their own.But finding the right plot is hard, and competing with established landowners and developers can sometimes make it feel impossible.That’s why Jake founded Land Buy: to bring like-minded people together, overcome these barriers, and help them take the next step towards owning the land they’ve always wanted.
What land are we looking for?
We're mainly looking for land in rural / semi-rural areas on the edges of villages and towns across the UK. We will consider all opportunities to showcase to our growing community.The ideal types are fields and land that have previously grown crops or reared animals. As well as land with existing buildings with opportunities to thoughtfully and sustainably return to their former glory to support the goals of the potential buyers.Our community are likeminded people looking for long-term land ownership, not looking to cram as many properties on a piece of land. They are looking to grow their own food, to immerse themselves in nature, to educate themselves and their families, and many are just looking for something that they have total ownership of.

Start Your Smallholding Guide
If you’ve ever dreamed of producing your own food, raising animals, and living a little closer to nature, a smallholding could be for you. Whether you’ve got a few acres or a generous garden, starting small, and planning well is the key to success.Here’s how to get going:
What is a Smallholding?
A smallholding is a small plot of land, typically under 50 acres, used to grow food, raise animals, or both.Think of it as a mini-farm with a personal touch. You might focus on vegetables and fruit, keep a few chickens or goats, or produce honey.In the UK, smallholdings are often run by families or individuals looking for self-sufficiency, extra income, or simply the joy of working the land.
Do I need planning permission for my Smallholding?
If you are joining an existing allotment association you won't require planning permission to start. Likewise if you have bought, leased or have access to existing agricultural land, you should not need any additional planning permission to start creating a smallholding. However it is always worth checking the documents connected to the property and with your local authority or council for what you can or can't do.Should you be looking to add buildings or permanent structures to the agricultural land. You will likely need planning permission to do so. Depending on the rules of your local area you could be asked to remove or amend these facilities and may also face fines or punishments for doing so without notifying local authorities.So its always best to check in advance before starting!
Additional Resources:
Try before you start
Before you commit your savings (and weekends!) we recommend you spend time working on an existing smallholding or allotment. You can reach out to your allotment association or see if any friends or family already have an allotment that you help with.You’ll get low-risk hands-on experience with planting, animal care, and the realities of rural life; the mud, the early mornings, hard graft, animal welfare, and much more. But the rewards are worth all the effort!By trying before you start your own allotment, you get an idea for the kind of fruit, veg, plants and animals that you're really interested in. You can also test different methods to what works best for you and the amount of time you can give to your allotment. All this helps set you up for success.This step helps you answer: Do I enjoy the lifestyle, or just the idea of it?
Plan before you start
Before you make the leap to your own plot, it's a good idea to plan ahead, to make sure you have all you need. You'll want to start with by answering a few questions:• How much space do I have / How big is my allotment plot?• Why am I growing food? (As a hobby? To completely replace buying from supermarkets? or just to supplement? or you're looking to grow specialist food?)• How much time per week can I commit?
Choosing the 'right' land:When looking at potential plots and allotments, you will want to check the drainage, soil fertility and PH levels. There are 6 broad soil types:• Sandy (poor in nutrients, dries quickly)
• Clay (rich in nutrients but retains water too long)
• Silt (Retains water but needs tilling for better air circulation)
• Peat (rich in organic matter found around rivers & forests)
• Chalk (not suitable for plants requiring acidic soils)
• Loam (Considered the jackpot for farmers)Even if your plot doesn't have one of the more favourable soil types, not to fear; there are always ways you can adjust the composition of your soil, using such things as fertilisers and manure. Vegetable beds can also be planted in topsoil, meaning basic produce can be grown anywhere, regardless of underlying soil type.
Equipment:Start with the basics:
• Spade, fork, hoe, clippers and wheelbarrow.
• Good-quality gloves and waterproof clothing.
• Compost bins or heaps.
• Covered area and workbench or standing level workstation
• For larger plots: small tractor or rotavator, water tanks, fencing tools.
The Best Starter Crops for Quick Wins:You want plants that are forgiving and productive:
• Veg: Lettuce, courgettes, beans, potatoes.
• Fruit: Raspberries, strawberries, apples (choose early cropping varieties).
• Herbs: Mint, rosemary, chives.Quick yields with low-upkeep help keep you motivated and build skills before tackling more demanding crops.
Getting started
• Start Small: Focus on one manageable area rather than trying to cultivate the whole plot at once.• Set Rotations: Plan where crops will go each year to prevent pests and soil depletion.• Invest in Soil: Add compost or manure before planting.• Animals: If you’re keeping chickens or goats, set up secure housing and outside pens before they arrive - The animals will find unique ways to escape you would have never expected.
General upkeep & seasonal timings
Spring:
• Sow seeds indoors and outdoors.
• Prepare beds and prune fruit trees.
• Repair fencing after winter.Summer:
• Water regularly in dry spells.
• Harvest salad crops and early fruit.
• Keep weeds under control.Autumn:
• Harvest main crops (potatoes, apples, squash).
• Plant garlic and overwintering onions.
• Mulch beds for winter protection.Winter:
• Rest the land where possible.
• Maintain tools and buildings.
• Plan next year’s crops and livestock rotations.Top tip: Daily or weekly check-ins are vital! Pests, weeds or escaped animals can become big problems fast!
How to Keep Going When You Don’t See Results
Farming, even on a small scale, is a lesson in patience. Seeds may fail, weather may ruin crops, and animals can get sick. To keep motivated:• Celebrate all your small wins: Your first tomatoes, your first egg.• Involve your friends and family. They will help you with their time and keep you accountable to keep persevering.• Learn from each failure; keep notes on planting dates, weather, and results.• Join local smallholder or allotment groups for support and advice.
How and when to harvest
Harvesting is as much about timing as effort:• Pick vegetables when young for tenderness (e.g., courgettes).• Harvest fruit when it comes away easily from the plant. Forcing it can reduce flavour and shelf life.• For storage crops like potatoes or onions, wait until the plant tops have died back and the weather is dry.Once harvested, store produce in cool, dark, and dry conditions, or preserve through freezing, drying, or bottling.⸻Our final tip:
Start with passion, but plan with patience. A smallholding is never “finished”, it’s a living, changing project. The more you learn to work with the land rather than against it, the more rewarding it will be.
As a reminder: If you are looking to looking to live permanently on the land, it is normally very difficult to be granted planning permission (That is not to say it is impossible!). But we want to make sure we are transparent and clear with you about the reality. There can be fines and punishments for building and/or living on the land without the correct permissions.Local authorities & councils all have different criteria and rules, the land will also have unique restrictions and characteristics that will need specific professional guidance that cannot be covered by a general guide as an overview on smallholdings.The information shared does not constitute as legal advice or imply that you will be successful by applying any of this information to your own circumstances and scenario. We are sharing to provide greater awareness of processes and examples of how others have managed to make use of the land they own.
