Arrow Buying garden land ?

Hi all. Sorry if this question has been asked loads of times. Did look at the forum a could not see any posts.

Im looking at buying the bottom half of my naibours garden.

His garden is overgrown and according to him he has not touched it for 15 years. there is no grass left just 6ft tall stingers and over grown trees. when we moved in he allowed us to go into his garden to cut down some trees and bushes so my garden could get some sunlight.

I know he has sold half of his house to the bank. so what would i do about buying the land.

My garden is currently 723sqm . The land i would like to buy is 323sqm. taking my total garden space to 1/4 acre.

I have looked around online for a rough price. All i could find in my area was rough prices of land. about £11,000 per acre. so by my calculation it would be roughly £916.00 to buy his land. but this seems very very cheep to me. acre been over 4,000sqm so roughly goes into it 12 times.

there is only 3 houses on the road with full length gardens. as the other gardens was purchased for houses to be built on. this would take his garden size down to the same as all the others.

any information small or large would be great-full thank you

Any advice on what to do. ?
