How can buying a piece of land be so expensive? This is just so silly!
I’ve wanted to have my own piece of land since I was a young child. I always thought my grandfather would leave me some in his will, but that never happened! So I thought I’d look for land myself.
Looking for that perfect area to buy land was harder than I thought, but the cost was good at the time I started looking.
As the years have passed, the cost of land has risen. I have no idea why it should rise, but I get rather cross and upset by it.
For example, when I saw a perfect piece of land in my neighbourhood, I thought I would go for it. But at the time, I was a little short of funds, so I had to save a little first. This was going to cost me £5,000 which for the size of it was ideal! Then, two months later, when I was nearly there with my savings, I looked again to see if it was still for sale, and to my amazement, the price had increased to a whopping £140,000!!
How could this be? What had changed?
So, i did some digging. I found that some planning permission had been passed to build 2 houses or a small block of flats! Why?
Why do we have to keep building? Why can’t we just do up old buildings and have some land to grow food?
The government and the powers that be, are so so stupid! Why can’t they just leave the land alone? It is just so unfair!
So, my idea of having my own plot of land to become self-sufficient and not have the everyday stresses of the technical world we live in today is becoming increasingly difficult!
But one day, I will succeed and have my own land.
Keep positive out there and stay happy
