The start of 2018 has seen a sharp price across the board in the UK for almost all round timber products. Following poor winter weather conditions many of the larger mills have used their stocks and biomass suppliers are short of wood to chip.
There has not been a better time in recent years to sell your timber and woodland owners are encouraged to take advice on their resource to see how easily it can be turned into tax free income.
Felling licences granting permission to harvest the timber can take up to 12 weeks to process so the sooner an application is made the better.
