make sure you do all the necessary checks on any land, including finding out about any building restrictions or planning permission info, as well as how you really feel about the land, whether it drains well or not (says the woman whose garden is a swamp!)... better to be sure about it than waste money that could be put to better use elsewhere. Any piece of land looks good in the sun, so make sure you've seen it in bad weather too.

you may be sure about the *idea*, and I agree that you must be or you wouldn't have rushed into discussing it here... but that still doesn't mean you should act too hastily.
