We wish to extend our garden to incorprate a small 500sqm,(approx 1/10th
acre) area of our farmers neighbours field (no intention of planting or
altering anything) to give our dogs more room to play.

Is there a way to do this legally without the need for paying
solicitors fees which would percentage wise, add a great deal to the
transaction?
Is there a standard sale document that can be purchased,details added
and then and signed by both parties?

Be warned - you will also need planning permission. The law is such
that neither of you is required to apply for it until the Planning
Authority requires you to, which usually happens when some neighbour
complains. But, until you have done that, the land is supposed to
be used only for agricultural purposes.
