- Iv done alot of reading/ research on council guidelines and Paid for the consultants and planning advisors for our planning permissons here at the farm which has given me a good amount of knowledge for those people out there who dont want to do things legitimately and spend the money on a massive amount of council and advisor fees like i had too.
I wouldnt advise doing things without permission but hope this video helps with ideas if yo do want to try.
here's the video on how I got legit proper planning permissions for things at the farm and how you could too.

I bought a 12 acre site in 2003 & had to get full pp to build my barn as it was below permitted development size. I put a bedsit in the roofspace, then a local farmer dobbed me in. Enforcement came every so often and said they suspect I'm living onsite and must cease, but never sent eviction or 'cease and desist' notices. Eventually I (with help?) slipped to the back of the filing cabinet and didn't get another visit for 6 years. Then the officer suggested I apply for lawful tenure under the Four Year Rule, and I was in! Bloody nightmare of years of uncertainty though. The irony is that I found a map of my land in an archive where it was measured in rods & chains to two decimal places, and I've and extra 2 acres coz a lot of it's steep banks.
My land was part of the primarily livestock 'green desert' around here. Now it's 14 acres of woodland, willow and orchards, heaving with wildlife. It's NEVER returning to conventional agriculture.
Brilliant
Niall well done you! That's incredible and something I would love to have done
can't be UK
Love this ❤
I’m on a mission to find somewhere in the U.K. there’s likely to be land becoming available during this current recession and rewildiing era.
@@Kellycreator and what do you intend to do when the council forces you off the land? Your idea that the recession is affecting prices is sadly not reflecting in actual prices- land is going up in price.
Where I live the council just granted permission to build 100s of new homes on farmland for a development company. The farmland has rare and endangered species on it. Compare this situation to a lone person or family who just wants to just live on their land low impact. The whole thing is completely rigged it’s disgusting.
hence developers giving millions to the tories in 'donations'
Yep, you are so right, and we would benefit more as a nation if people lived this way it would be less pollution made and less strain on the already fragile infra structure in England.
That's witness to the Power of the Brown Envelopes
It is all a matter of being or dealing with Brothers, as to how the council will deal with you. The big company developers will be and dealt with accordingly.
@@yetidodger6650not just tories we’ve a historic Labour council for many years and the amount of developers getting projects mysteriously approved is off the scale, one massive building even got built with out planning, when a local community group made a public enquiry they gave them retrospective building permission, jeez these people are as corrupt as it goes.
Hi, Southern Ireland... I am a retired carpenter. Acquired a small piece of rural land in the middle of an unpleasant man's farm. It had a registered access road. I moved into a mobile home and moved in with my wife & 10 yp daughter. They built a 49-square-meter workshop. Now I can have electricity installed. No place for a septic tank soak away. So I put a holding tank... with some holes in it !!! 3 years later I have 5 glamping pods. The workshop is a restaurant & bar for guests and my neighbor is having kittens. The council have even offered me an 80% grant to have a water well drilled. I have no formal permission for any structure. I live in my 3 bedroom timber house with my family. The State school bus comes to get my daughter for school.
I'm in ireland also. Which part are u in?
Well done fella. You're living my dream. 😀
I'm in Kilkenny, where are u

Great info. Been there, done that. Layed a yard on 30 acres, then rolled in an 18ft trailer home. Enforcement appeared within a month. I put in a retrospective planning app. The whole process took 3 years to win at appeal. In that time we had established a heard of pigs. 2 boar's and 6 sows. A flock of laying hens and a market garden area. The direct neighbors are hostile mostly. I tried making friends, but they are bitter about our existence here. I just have to live with that.
People just hate change/ people doing things differently 😒
People are programmed to only look for rainbows and sunshine. If you pop their bubble of what reality really looks like they throw fits. its not your fault.
Sadly I am dreading the same from a potential land we have visited and put an offer in for, I don't think the neighbours will like what we are planning on doing, we are taking business approach to our farm lifestyle, and I am not afraid of confrontation, nor do I back down. I am use to it, and use to winning everytime! As long as I play by the book I couldn't careless, if they don't want to be nice that's their loss.
Same with us, we only have 3 acres and they want static removed even though we are farming there
Some kids grow up not being able to share their toys. And in this case, some people think that because they have their sand castle that nobody else in the same town is allowed to be in their space.
I think this is why people make trouble for others. Simply, they grow up not sharing, not being able to cooperate with others.
This guy's so chill he must be the bane of the local authority with his swagger and cool headed objective approach 😂

I love the explanation 😁... Cool 😎
The fact that they can even tell you to leave YOUR own land just goes to show what kind of "FREE" society you live in.
this isnt the wild west mate, cant have people doing whatever they want.
@@toddberkely6791Erm. It is. And you can. Lawful is not legal. You have rights but must know them to have them. 👍🏻 Know your rights?
Can't. It's unlawful. No contract.
@@diaryofadeadtattooist it isnt, its 21st century england.
@@toddberkely6791 ignorance is no defence in law mate. UK is a foreign jurisdiction that's why you can drive in Europe on your licence. It's a corporation. A business. Nothing to do with the law. Rights to travel means no licence /mot /tax or insurance. Putting your land into a private trust removes it from uk jurisdiction and places it in equity. Can't touch it. No capital gains tax just like the rich. Just don't register it otherwise you've just given up your rights in exchange for usage
Rule 1) tell NOBODY , Rule 2) Make sure your home is concealed well enough. I knew a guy who lived in a barn with 2 static caravans for years. No hassle . . It was surprisingly a good setup. Solar on the roof and hay around the outer edges of the barn to help keep heat and keep noises down. He bought the 4 acres and barn for the price of his damp 2 bed victorian terraced house . He kept chickens there and dogs, dogs acted like an early warning system he had concealed CCTV so he knew if folk were prowling about .
It's crazy how corrupt the government is, yet the biggest threat to your family is still your neighbours 💀
Just a point about this - it has to be naturally concealed e.g not behind stacked haybales or truck trailers. so trees and bushes are fine
Good on him
A chap called Fiddler built a castle behind hay bales. Concealment failed to buy him the time he needed.
too many doing this though and countryside gettin way over developed sadlky. but of course i understand the want . the big problem is the floods of imigration really
I like how he speaks very quietly, as if someone might overhear this sneaky-sneak advice.
They did! The piglets and flappy bird!
I drove into London last weekend. Not been there for a while. The amount of tower block monstrosities going up shocked me and you have to jump through hoops and loopholes to live in a cosy shed minding your own business!
Tower blocks = major developer = tory donor.
Living in a little shed doesn't pay into their system. Basically you don't toe the line!
Oh and my shed is called my little favela
They can't control you when your out the loop 🤪. They like to control people hence they us living like sardines

My motto has always been "it is easier to do it and appologise afterwards than it is to ask for permission in the first place".
@forest Gump who ever asked permission to fart and got it?
It’ll be a forced tear down
@@mrvanderson7937 - And possibly an expensive tear down.
why apologise, just bombard them with nonsense, works every time.
do you have that motto for dating as well? lol
My motto has always been ' what they cant see they cant grieve over ' soon as you buy land plant trees to hide anything you want to do . Keep that in mind when buying .
Not true their is specific planning legislation that covers concealed development. A lot of what is only correct to this interpretation, seen lots refused and enforced at developers cost at authorities I have worked.
@@theacoustician6741Not talking developements just nosy neighbours they usually report to the council if they can see what might be a slight infringment , or
you wanting to build a bund around a dung heap for example you missed the point .
@@PaulGreenwald I get what you are saying but my job for the last 38 years has been dealing with planning and environmental health issues, I've given evidence at enough court cases and planning enquiries to know that its best to fully understand the national planning policy guidance and planning practice guidance plus any local policies before chancing what might be a very costly process. I'm not only an expert witness on acoustics I cover many environmental aspects from simple extensions to national infrastructure projects.
@@theacoustician6741 You have to know how to game the system as discussed in this video and to game the system you have to understand the system as you rightly point out.
Some bloke tried that with hay bales. He lost.
I love this ideal. One official I heard about, advised a resident to build a storage building to get around restrictions. He simply parked his rv in the building. No questions asked.
I built a pigeon hut on a bit of land that I don’t own it’s been up for 19 years the council came told me they would be pulling it down but because it’s been up so long they need to take me to court for that was about 10 years ago it’s still going strong 💪
Hell yeah, fight the pigs with pigeon power. I approve 👌
I don’t get it. Why would a council even bother to contact you about an illegal structure on someone else’s property?
There’s clearly more to this
Council land
@@GrumpyGarry121 yep and therefore publicly owned land😁
You have a claim for adverse possession. It might not mean you own the land but you get to keep doing what you have been doing if nobody has complained after 10 years
Championing people’s rights and teaching how to use the system. Great video. Keep em coming.
Lived in a caravan in Citalgarth near Bala for nearly a year, never slept so soundly ever, would love to go back.
Ive watched people ask about "how to legally do the tiny house thing" for over a decade with the same answers leading to most people never going through with their dream and right to affordable shelter. My attitude is its just to easy for council to say no but if you've already built something and living in it then its a much bigger task for them. Let them do all the work to try and get you out while you relax in your home for X amount of time. Make what ever you build easy to move also of course :)
It's so sad that one has to go through all that for just living on their own land! And we call this a civilised system/country! I hope your tips would help a lot of people break this broken system.
Everybody needs a friend like this .
I had a friend who did the semi legal way and basically got his kids in a local school and this triggered the local council to back off and review in 5 years
The more people that grow a backbone and see it as their birth right to do whatever they want with land, the easier it will become for all.
Your so bleeding right it hurts
Building a shelter for yourself on your own land out to be a basic human right. Not a privilege you have to pay and grovel for.
@@peterolley7159 hes so wrong it hurts! the more people that move onto land and "play the system" the more tightened the system gets,the concealment law got brought in due to someone hiding their house behind hay,the 4 year rule is probably going, its being debated in parliament atm and councils get worse not better,I personally know of 3 recent suicides due to council evictions off land and 2 men in prison,
Imagine living in the UK and believing that you have freedom?
Compared to where?
@@peterjackson1212 Land of the Free of course, ha ha.
@@peterjackson1212 many countries in Europe, people are free to do what they want on their own land.
@@GBPaddling I'd agree with Europe but America 😬😬😬 nah
@@peterjackson1212 I was being extremely sarcastic stating Land of the Free, I know they are anything but that. No Country is totally free, I am not stupid, and I would love to live somewhere that is freer than the UK, it is getting unbearable.
Local establishments are tricky. Councils can & do rule in their favour. If you find your self facing stiff opposition, the council will free up the funds to fight you.
Land owners can over turn permissive bridle ways back into non trespass private roads. Likewise, common land can still be legally de-registered. Just be aware of this!
That’s why it’s good advice to try to win over your neighbours. Also rule of thumb, if you’re gonna play the system, don’t get bogged down with clear plot boundaries. It shows good will to allow some leeway!
Hedges rather than fencing gives barns & caravans credibility! Your neighbours can’t trump the esthetic card, if you’re prepared to invest money in either a Green wall or some quality cladding.
It’s all about creating the least amount of impact for anyone to object.
I wouldn’t advise leaving open construction sites for years on end. It won’t win you any friends!
Try to assimilate with the local community. They can’t hate you for ever if you’re somehow contributing. Offering your skills to the local parish is always a smart option. Those places are always in need of repairs or local help. Don’t offer to much help at once. Be consistent 😅😉
great video, the best thing anyone can do once they buy land is to get a caravan on it straight the way, they cant argue if its only used for daytime use, when we bought our farm it already had an old static on site which really helped because people were already used to a caravan being there and we then combined that with the looking after livestock reasoning to finally
get permission to live here
Love this, we’ve converted a barn on my mums smallholding and my brother is now living there, neighbours were key.
Can you tell me more plz?was it always the intention to convert when you bought the land/building?what were the loopholes, if any?tia

I do. It was in the Daily Mail.

Many years ago, a person I consider to be very intelligent told me. Martin you have to learn to swim with the stream, but further on in life i learned, trout can swim up waterfalls, admirable like the info here.
He gave you terrible advice, not a friend - you do what makes the inner child happy, thats better advice
As my old fella used to say 'Never ask a policeman if you can have a piss in the street just do it'
Make charcoal, its illegal to leave it unattended while active, have 3 or 4 batches in rotation all the time, if you need to leave it just have someone watching over it. Decent business aswell.
That sounds a bit impossible for a single person to continuously have several kilns on the go and to still have time to source wood without completely felling what woodland one has, but I wonder if one could legitimise having tree surgeons offload their waste wood on your land by buying it from them for £1 a load to then turn into charcoal? Tricky part of that idea would be storing awkward shaped 'arb logs', and perhaps paying a pound a load wouldn't negate the requirement to register as a waste transfer or disposal site... I don't know enough legal gubbins to say whether it'd work, but it's an idea...
@@RedHeadForester you get your timber supplied, don't fell your own , it's perfectly legitimate business. If your own woodland is coppice you will have to coppice it periodically anyway thus your business is a traditional way of life.
@@RedHeadForester Possibly 'waste' could be ruled out and become simply material to be processed.
@@martineleven8179 i have a relative who produces charcoal from managing his several acres of woodland, with 1 x 8ft diam kiln. It would be quite difficult (IMO) for 1 man to produce more.

How are you progressing with your plan?
this is the best video i have seen in ages
In Dorset you only have to claim to be a gypsy and you can set up anywhere. They are ripping out woodland near me as I write, in a SSSI area, without permission. Others have done the same in the same locality with no comeback at all. Yet our neighbour was refused permission to repair their knee high fence that blew down in the wind!
You don't need permission to repair or rebuild unless it is a conservation area. The planners are bullshitting you neighbour. If an official says you "can't" ask him what law says you can't - and watch him splutter and stutter. If there is no law that says you can't them you can. It's called the "rule of law" - an alien concept to the average bureaucrat.
They're a bunch of fucking liberty takers-in the real sense.
no you cannot "claim to be a gypsy" you have to be an ethnic gypsy,its blindingly obvious who is and isn't,theres gypsy language for a start,and gypsy rights are a very different set of rights and laws,for too complicated to go into here but you are 100% wrong,they will most probably be served an enforcement notice for the land near you and be charged criminally for the damaged trees if they are under any kind of protection order,if they do get to stay,then it will be because your council has been proven to have acted unlawfully in regards to their duties under the equalities act.
😊 Hi James you have another new subscriber . Great videos would love to give this a try. I want to buy 12.5 acres of land , my dream, land now is go expensive, I am looking forward to see your next videos!!!!
THAT WAS EXCELLENT YOU ARE A LEGEND
Made me laugh at some point. Need more bravery in this world 💪 Thanks man
Used to have 7 acres and a big house in derbyshire. Sold it recently so have some in the bank. When i built my steel frame barn before i remember planner said i dont have 12 acres. Now it makes sense what ur saying. Was looking at buying 30 acre somewhere and doing what your doing. Good on ya. Getting a house these days and living on grid seems rigged and a scam. What ur doing is great. Council tax/standing charges/ mortgage repayments its just one big scam
as understood it you dont have to own 12 acres just: farm 12 some can be rented
Very valuable, thanks for sharing

Dont delude yourself or waste your money and life. People aren't stupid they will get you removed and stopped in the end . It will cost you time , money and stress .
Someone did that recently (last month or so, he lived there for 15+ years) in Newport Wales. Check the local news. Now council is looking to move him out. So don't do it. Look at the recent news as a guideline.
Absolutely Brilliant. Now subscribed.
Good idea and interesting to hear about your practical experience of the law etc but 12 acres of good agricultural land isn’t particularly cheap in UK. But I certainly agree with you on topic of being good neighbours it makes sense for both parties and lets face it no point living in your ideal manner with grumpy neighbours
Doesn't have to be good agricultural land. You're not aiming for maximum production of wheat or apples as a monocrop. Mixed plant and animal smallholding only needs clean soil - not had oil or asbestos etc dumped in it
Absolute love this video bro, just bought 2 acre of woodland in yorkshire, not sure what i can do with it yet. Would love any advice you can give
Depends on if u have neighbours/ eyeballs on your site. Either way get a track in ASAP to where u want things to be on your site. And a shed for your "forestry" equipment

I had enforcement arrive and demand that I removed a bund (pile of soil which I had from clearing a flat area for a caravan) barns need planning. Caravans can be put on but not lived in. I have been through this unsuccessfully
I know it probably wouldn't work, but build the barn with roof lanterns to let in light and roll your caravan and your car into it. Build the roof lanterns below the top line of the walls so they cannot be seen and use reflective coating. Then everything is out of sight in a barn being used for storage. Like I said it probably wouldn't work, but it might be worth a try.
I know people who did, but the neighbours dobbed them.
There's a lot of Karen's out there.
Fab work we’ll done dude
Buy the book field to farm fantastic read.
It's kind of crazy that you need to even go through these hoops just to stay in a caravan on YOUR OWN LAND. So I can buy land and do absolutely nothing with it, not even live on it, and that's fine- but the second I roll up and want to kip in my own caravan it's not allowed!? I get that planning permission needs to be a thing for many builds to prevent people and firms just building random shit over the entire country, but imo if i have hand and I want to live in a damn caravan on it, yes even a static one, that should be no one's business but my own.
Is it this bad in other countries? Personally rather than fight the council for years I'd rather just move to a country where I can live on my own land and no one will bother me.
Bit late to this one but how does it work with barn conversion rights? Can you do the apply for pd, slow build a barn start another and be at the point where you are eligible to do a barn conversion on the 1st barn and then live there legit in a nice home?
Edit. Just had a look. A barn needs to have been built and used for 10 years before you can apply for class Q permitted development to do a barn conversion. So get land, build 1st barn quickly, use it for agriculture, build more barns so you can stay 10 years then convert original barn to a house.
But has to have been built before March 2013 i believe
@@jameslindley924 Thats class Q and it must be substantially complete within 3 years....Fidler's Castle
Thats right bud 10 years of use as an agricultural building if built after 20th March 2013
Like your stile feller. Thanks for this information.
Great video thank you very much. Could you reference the ‘3 years to start building and 3 years to complete the barn’ bit please? Cheers
these are really great videos, love this topic. Do you think it would be similar rules in Wales? Can't find much info on it, cheers!
Wales look at one planet development policy, ur basically good to go building whatever in Wales as long as its a low impact/ sustainable development
@@FieldtoFarm_UK yes I think that will be the best way, shame you have to track your progress annually but would be worth it
@@FieldtoFarm_UK not sure that's exactly true. I need planning permission for solar panels on some land in Wales. Never looked at buildings but I have the foundations and old walls of an old barn so it's not as bad for me if I ever want to build that up again.
Yes, in Wales our laws run parallel to the English. The only difference being the OPD, if I am honest I looked and studied that properly, it's a load of nonsense, wasteful, and to be fair in all honesty, it's ideal for hippie type of people. I'd like to have a bit of my modern world, and enjoy traveling, and leave some asset behind for the kids, OPD means none of that. You enjoy while you live. And you can't go travelling and etc. You need to probe, submit, and show 0 carbon approach. For an average farmer it's load of gas! Use for nothing!

The 4 year rule, basically means if you buy a peice of land with or without permission, or if you squat in a house... providing you live quietly, no noisy parties, no upsetting the neibours, no deliberately upsetting the council in other words don’t draw attention to yourself, providing you can live quietly for 4 years after that it becomes a legal tenure, another 6 years and we see the 10 year rule which means you can push the boundaries a bit more and put a mobile home on your site basically there are rules that we try to respect even if you have no planning permission !
Same as squatting in an abandoned house, if your there for 12 years and you can prove it, it legally becomes your property
Another thing to bear in mind is living on wheels... proving to the council that your dwelling is not on a permanent base
Nicholas Williams, I believe you're referring to Adverse Possession law regarding the 12 year rule on unoccupied properties. This law changed 20 years ago under the Land Registration Act 2002. The case is now that you must demonstrate adverse possession of the property for 10 years, at which time you earn the right to APPLY to become the registered owner. The current registered owner is then notified of your presence in their property and is then given the chance to evict you. If no eviction is made within a prescribed period, then the property passes into your hands. But the process is not simple - you cannot just tell the Land Registry that you've been there for 10 years and hope they accept your word. You have to provide undeniable evidence that you've ADVERSELY possessed the property for a continuous, uninterrupted period of 10 years to the exclusion of all others. Not easy to do unless you keep robust records. Even then, if the property owner evicts you after the 10 year period, or tells Land Registry that they knew you were in there and consented to your temporary occupation of the property, your case will be thrown out. The new system is much more stringent than the old 12 year rule.
@@ronaldaddison2146 Thanks for your comments. I was hopeful someone could explain why a tiny house falls under the 4 year rule whereas a caravan falls under the 10 year rule?
Hi, James here another new subscriber. Great videos would love to give this a try. Were all here watching this coz we want a bit of fresh air and greenery to wake up to not much to ask eh?
Got the basics down you've dumbed it down well enough just be aware it is a risk you as said in the video, you gotta go all in. I'm looking forward to seeing how it turns out.
What areas are more relaxed ?
Wales and Scotland have much easier steps for planning etc, but anywhere hidden like a wood will be relaxed 🤣👌
Great info buddy; cheers
Thanks for video very interesting in these times too.. new sub mate 👊🏻
Your approach more or less sums up the whole problem with the legal system in the UK. It is totally broken and nothing gets done. I like your approach (and am considering it myself)...but the honest truth is that this is the reason nothing gets done or changed in this country.
Some great gems dropped here. Great vid. Any suggestions for under 5 hectares of agricultural greenbelt land? It seems like a lot of these strategies only apply to larger land owners with over 5 hectares.
For less than 5h, you need to submit full planning application. But as long as it's more than 2.5ac, and a genuine business, registered and all the rest... They can't deny having a barn for the animals and a shed for hay storage and etc.
Can you register as a business but no profits and do it this way without planning
I just love this video! Yes! You would fit right in here in the Lowcountry of South Carolina.
Great video! Thank you!
I’ve been thinking of this but thought I would be told to leave the land if I started living there so this video is great.
Can you have the water company connect you up to a supply? What about LPG can you have a larger supply without issues I haven’t researched this as yet.
No lager sorry , down the offey for that.;)
you almost certainly will be told to leave,if you don't you will receive an enforcement notice,ignore that and it becomes a criminal offence,you can be imprisoned,like the video states there is a lot of legal wangling,you have to know planning law inside out,it can be very very expensive and some councils act unlawfully,alot of it is down to your personal circumstances and how they relate to the land under the human rights act if you have no lawfull reason to have permission to reside on your land,water companies will connect you if you pay, its expensive and land at the end of tracks can run into wayleave problems,water companies have automatic wayleave but neighbours can still be very very difficult if there is any dispute about land water pipes have to go through,LPG can be delivered if you have good access,large tanks are usually put in by the LPG company at your cost
Very interesting! We’ve considered putting a timber property on our 10 acre plot, but been unsure how to progress it - this is just what we needed to get on with it! Tx!
Have you considered approaching the council for permission to site a sectional wooden mobile home ? Legal if it comes to the site in sections
@@nicholaswilliams4336 I had considered finding an 18 or 24ft caravan and siting that on the land, then extending it with timber framed constructions, one side one year, another side the next. The thing against that is we have a numpty next door who thinks he’s Gods gift to the mentally deficient and has set up a ‘school’/business to train them in animal husbandry snd horticulture - none of which he is able to do - so having noisy, rowdy deficienté’s interrupting our later life, kind of puts us off. Oh, btw, one of them is a pyromaniac.
thanks, very informative.
Love it. I'll have research if the laws are similar in my home country
There is no formal area threshold for Forestry permitted development, unlike agriculture. So you do not need "5 acres" of woodland to be entitled to a firewood drying barn, forestry workers shelter, tool shed, etc etc IF they are reasonably necessary for forestry. Some councils are quite relaxed about forestry buildings in small woodlands. Some are completely paranoid and even refuse the kinds of sheds they are happy to see being put up on the tennis-court sized allotments they rent out ....
Hey. Would you know where to find the information you describe? I've only seen it in the Rural Planning Handbook.. but wouldn't mind finding a source. I'm doin ma thing in the woods in Scotland, and keepin it sneaky sneaky.. (helps that all my neighbours love me). Anyway. The more info the better.. if you don't mind. Thanks!
@@tektoms I also have woodland and am told it's hard to get planning permission. I am told because we keep pigs goats and ducks we are actually agricultural and therefore can have a barn as we have over 10 hectares. So I'm going for permitted development for a barn, fingers crossed they don't stipulate a time frame to erect it. Wish me luck
Some really good points there, especially the allotment analogy.
10 hectares? You realise if we had the money to buy 10 hectares of land we could easily just buy up a crumbling old barn with land with existing planning permission or easy to get planning permission?@@jodiebright1794
Just found this vid, liked and subscribed, great to know this, I look forward to more, cheers.
Two most fundamental needs, food and shelter, you shouldn't need to ask permission from any one to provide them to you and your family, as long as you do no arm to others in the process. You live in common law countries, learn a little about it and be amazed how powerful and simple it is.

I don't have 12.5 acres, have no plans to buy, don't want to live in a field and don't have a caravan. But the super wide-angle lens, the shades, the slightly creepy, nasal voice and the hush-hush tones makes this compelling viewing.
Fantastic video mate, Cheers! 👍🏴🇬🇧
