Also a simple house can be bought for £30,000 if you look in the right part of the country (try round Grimbsy). This still comes back to location, not land. There are not enough properties where people want them. | |

And there's a reason people don't want to live in the middle of nowhere: people need to get to places of work, shops, etc. Middle of nowhere locations often make that difficult or even impossible. | |
