Hi guys;
There are VERY STRICT rules about building houses in the countryside, almost impossible to get a building permit - except when the government decide to expand a town or village and then they compulsary purchase the best land and build a load of modern boxes totally out of character with whats already there. Plus the people who can afford the over priced houses are from towns and they dont understand the ways of the countryside and farming.
Even farmers have to apply for a permit to errect a barn or farm building and then it has to be built in a special way and not neccessarily in the place you need it!
Over past 10 years most old brick or stone farm buildings have been sold off by farmers to raise cash, and converted into very expensive houses. People will pay premium prices to escape from the problems in the towns to live in safety and in a nice area. Homes in the countryside are a prickly problem !!!
Cheers David
