Landowners Happy to Sit Tight
In the Midlands, data from FPDSavills suggest that only Northants, Staffs and Leics saw an increase in the volume of publicly marketed farmland over 2003. Northants more than doubled its sales to 6800 acres, by far the largest acreage of any county except Lincs and Devon. But this was driven mainly by an abnormal number of large estates (see box), rather than any surge in commercial soil. Despite the increase, Leics still only offered just over 1000 acres and Staffs less than 2000 acres

Nuclear Bunker Back On The Market
Buyers are being sought for two disused former nuclear bunkers, which are to be the stars of an unusual auction. The bunkers, in Hawkshead, Cumbria, and Stannington, Northumberland are expected to fetch several thousand pounds each. The former Royal Observation Corps bunkers were bought up by a telecoms firm as phone mast sites. But after failing to win planning permission they will now be included in a property auction later this month.

Nuclear Bunker’s Worth a Bomb
IT could be the ideal home for anyone nervous about the latest government advice on terror attacks - a nuclear bunker just a short drive from Manchester. House-hunters are being invited to bid for the shelter, originally built to protect British servicemen from Nazi bombings during the Second World War, with a guide price of £250,000. The 15,000 sq ft shelter compromises 50 rooms on two floors and is big enough to shield up to 150 people from any kind of disaster.

Get Away From It All: Nuclear Bunker For Sale, Just £250,000
For the housebuyer in search of rural seclusion, protection from power cuts and burglars and a phone line for all who visit, this is the ideal property. The concrete fascia of the 15,000sq ft former nuclear bunker buried in Lancashire lacks rustic charm, and the four huge levers on its steel front door will make heavy work of nipping out to get the milk. But JHWalter, the estate agent trying to sell the building, at Goosnargh, near Preston, says demand for bunkers is buoyant.
