What should I check before buying smallholdings?

Check the title and boundaries with HM Land Registry, confirm legal access and rights of way, look at flood risk on the government flood map and ask about services such as water and electricity. A solicitor and, for larger purchases, a land agent or surveyor are worth involving early.

Can I build on land I buy?

Only if planning permission is granted. Most agricultural and amenity land has no automatic right to build a house, so speak to the local planning authority or a planning consultant before you buy if you hope to develop.
