hi, we live in west yorkshire in the UK and would like to know if anyone can suggest an online forum where i can post a wanted ad for a rented house on farmers land that isnt going to cost us the earth?

can you help?

You may be best advertising in the local newsagents in the area you want to rent in. There are a lot of farmers in the area I live in, and I'm sure that there's not many of them have access to the internet.

talk about narrowing your market!

why dont you try ringing the farmers yourself? You just need to look in the yellow pages

Tbh what you want dosent exist, and even if it did, i doubt it would hang around long enough for a busy farmer to come to a forum to see if anyone wants to rent it

Thankyou very much Spudqueen i will give it a try.Now to Bednobs answer,, i didnt want to go into full detail on here but as to ringing them myself i would if i could speak clearly enough! I have MS and also another illness which i will not mention so speaking is very very difficult for me. I only wanted advice in the first place and yes i do want to finish off my life living somewhere quiet! At the moment you have no idea what i am going thru safe to say in this day and age and modern society i am left to do my personal functions in a bucket in my living room because my wheelchair will not go thru my doorways! So, it is nice to know that people like you are here to jump to first conclusions and dont stop to think why someone might have posted a question like i did! Go straight to the top of the class Bednobs!!

Are you bartering with the earth? From whom can I purchase the earth? Is God the real estate agent?

sorry if you seem to think my answer was rude, but having ms does not make houses easier to come by, and does not make it more likely that farmers will look at a "houses wanted" ad
I am not "jumping to conclusions" as you think my answer still stands. you say "we" so get the other person in that we to do the ringing round.
I think that unfortunately you are narrowing your market even more by adding that you need a place big enough for a wheelchair, or with a downstairs loo or with level access to the entrance/exit. i just think that being realistic, you will have to lower your expectations or requirements. Have you tried letting agencies?
you seem to have a chip on your shoulder, seeing meanness when it is not there. Had you given the information you just have in your first post, my answer wuld have been the same (except to get someone elses to do the ringing)
