Use consistent measurements
Convert the areas to the same unit before comparing. One acre is approximately 0.404686 hectares, or 4,046.856 square metres. Our area converter helps with the arithmetic; it does not verify the advertised measurement.
Compare more than price per acre
Size alone says little about suitability. Create a short table with asking price, usable area, access, planning evidence, services and likely maintenance. A smaller parcel with appropriate access may suit your needs better than a larger one with unresolved restrictions.
Track uncertainty
- Label each detail as advertised, documented or independently checked.
- Keep unconfirmed costs out of any claim that a plot is affordable.
- Record the source and date of planning or title information.
- Ask the same core questions of each advertiser.
Review your shortlist
Save promising adverts, then remove those that do not fit your brief. Use professional valuation and legal advice when deciding whether to commit. An asking price is an advertiser’s proposal, not a valuation supplied by PointClickView.
