As for the original point, I don't think it's right. We're looking at properties around the country and the odd one pops up that has a clause in the sale that it must go to a farm worker? Not sure of the solution though, it's their money.

I know many people who have earned over £100k PA and worked extremely hard for it. Equally, I also know many professionals who earn between £15k and £35k and work at least as hard.

As for the sale to a farm worker, this will be due to a covenant on the use of the building. It is not unknown for farmers to sell farm worker cottages off and then a few years later apply to build a house on the land to provide accommodation for a farm worker!
