You can ask the agents selling the land some questions. When you want to find out more, you make an offer for the land and if it is accepted then you can ask more questions. There are a lot of questions you can ask without having to use a solicitor or lawyer. These questions are called Enquiries before Contract and there are some special ones for agricultural land.

 

However, if you have read the book, then you know that we are advised not to buy certain types of land and I think you should read that section again.

can anyone explain,agent sent message saying that land just for agricultural and equestrian use ONLY..this means this is some covenant or what?

and clawback for 25 years,who about if i dont have any plans of selling in a future this peace of land,this still have effects or not?because is we start smallholding,camping site,in a future we will be living in that land and i thing if we not going to sell this land this means its not effect us this uplift?

The agricultural/equestrian use is probably just its lawful use, . The 25 year clawback may only relate to uplift in value when sold, but you need to be very sure, a solicitor would be able to give you a definitive answer.You may be able to change the terms of the clawback agreement to exclude a single dwelling and improvements for agricultural use.this would allow you to pursue your goal and still allow the vendor to profit if you gained planning permision for multiple houses. We have a similiar agreement with our land,however this is a "gentlemans agreement" not a contract.
