No idea sorry, the land i had was freehold. It was owned outright and had no monterey value owed to anyone. I suppose you could technically do everything your self, however dealing with land is fairly complex. I wouldn't want the hassle for the sake of £600 quid.

Update II*
The work starts Monday (22nd Aug). We have 2 mini diggers; around 35 ton of type 1 and 20 ton of bark arriving with 25 timber sleepers for some wall work (plus a cool idea for a slide). It has taken forever as process was halted as we decided to purchase another house, that unforutntley fell through. As such, we have made the decision to stay at this property and build a huge extension that starts in Jan.
To recap: All in all i have secured just over 100 sqm from the farmer. It was across two parts of land; the blue was originally under the developer who failed to transfer the deeds upon house completion. This has now been resolved.
I also have it confirmed on the official copy of the register of title:

Few days in; this is the top part (taken start of the year)
Still lots of sleeper work to be done and new fence finished but we are slowly making progress. Hard to justify size on the picture but that's area alone is holding 15 ton of hardcore and 8 ton of bark.

How's this going @kai ?
Slowly, but we decided to do sections at a time. We want it to be really natural. In the night' we have spots lights all across the trees - it looks amazing.

Looks great, I think possibly a good thing you didn't wind up moving, looks like a nice house/location to me

Yes, it has been down a few years but we paid a little extra as it's very realistic.

Jury is still out. It is a fantastic location, the houses we looked at did not hold a patch on the garden and surrounding area. However, we simply need a bigger house. We are working with an architects now, to have a large double extension that is going down the route of being largely glass in an apex (full house height) so the bedrooms and bathrooms all look out over the forest.

Extension could be a good shout.
Be careful with a lot of glass, can act as a heat trap in the summer depending on direction of the windows and the sun.
