Our Process
Site visit
We will view the woodland and do some background research. We are happy to go on our own or to meet you on site, whichever you prefer.
Taking photos
We will take these on our site visit, but if you have any photos you would like us to use, they can also be included.
Signage
We put ‘For Sale’ signs at the entrance to the wood and on any road frontage.
Writing particulars
We will write particulars for the woodland, you can see examples of these on our website.
Advertising and selling
A key approach is using our website and extensive mailing list. We are extremely well known in the UK woodlands market and search engines rank us highly.
Conveyancing
We are able to recommend experienced land conveyancers if that is helpful and we can assist throughout the legal process.
