About Us
Making buying and selling easy
We at forests.co.uk are trying to make it easier for you to sell your woodland or to buy one. Our aim is make sales particulars clear and informative and to make it clear where the woodland is and where its boundaries are. We market forests and woodlands using email, websites and local advertising to match up buyers and sellers. We also help with the usual issues involved in the legal side of any land transaction to make sure it goes smoothly.
New type of woodland owners
By advertising forests and woodlands widely we hope to encourage a new breed of owner who will want to manage their woodland in a very hands-on way. Our typical buyers really enjoy their woodlands but are also managing for conservation. Some are partly motivated by tax considerations which can make woodland ownership more attractive.
Fixed prices and fair dealing
Our policy is to work on a fixed price basis which we think helps both buyers and sellers. Buyers know where they stand with a fixed price. It also takes quite a bit of time to visit and view a woodland so fixed prices make buyers more willing to visit - ultimately therefore it's good for everyone.
Woodland and forests specialists covering England and Wales
We are a team of woodlands specialists based in London, Surrey and Suffolk. Despite being based in Southern England we also have wide experience of Wales, the South West and Northern England.
Bob and Richard
Forests.co.uk is run by Bob Liles and Richard Scholfield. Bob is very experienced in the woodland market and has a background in sales and customer service. Richard is an ecologist by background who has been managing woodlands for over 20 years and he also manages over 25 woodlands for conservation objectives.
Committed to wider woodland ownership
All of the people involved in forests.co.uk enjoy and care about British woodlands and love being out in the woods and enabling others to spend more time outdoors. We don't just want to sell your woodland for you - we want it to go to a good owner.
Woodland ownership for the long term
By putting buyers and sellers in contact we at forests.co.uk hope to encourage more people to own, enjoy and conserve their own forest or woodland. We sell to individuals, groups and organisations.
