Thanks for your reply. The trouble is I have quite a lot of health physicians in place etc.. Do you no of any tips to look for land?

Hello everyone, I am new to this forum, seeking advice about land. I have a severe unknown disability consequently, making me electric wheelchair bound unable to walk. I have a fiancée and currently living on the south coast of England in an apartment. Due to myself being CEV as a result of coronavirus, my life has changed, I have to self-isolate as much as possible as catching the virus would be detrimental to my health. Living or somewhat stuck inside an apartment for three years, makes you want to breath and have a change of scenery. We’ve been looking for a house for over a year, visited countless properties and unfortunately none are suitable. In the long run, it would cost too much money to redesign the property for my access needs: I.e, change the layout, downstairs bedroom and wheelchair accessible bathroom etc.. this list goes on! We have now come to the conclusion that buying a piece of land for a self-build, would be a better option. However, we are having trouble finding a piece of suitable land in the Hampshire, Suffolk, Whiltshire (border with Hampshire area). Our main route of hunting for land, is mainly through popular property websites and this has hardly given any results. Estate agents, we are registered with, do not really deal with selling land and so far everything feels like it has come to a standstill. Some land we have looked at is very cheap but will never have planning permission granted (agricultural ties or protected). My question really comes down to this: what is the best way to find a piece of land? Are we missing something? I.e should I contact local farmers, or community groups? Are there any popular land agents that I have missed? Word-of-mouth? Also is it better to look at land with no planning permission and start from scratch or search for land with planning permission? We are really running out of ideas, and even contemplating about buying a derelict house to knock down and rebuild. Any help, advice or suggestions will be much appreciated. Kind regards, George
