I bought one from Aldi 18 months ago for £49.95, saved me an absolute fortune, best piece of equipment i have ever purchased, paid for itself over and over again. When the chain needs sharpening, i just buy a new chain £7.95, less than sharpening price.
Or buy yourself a chainsaw file for a quid, and it will always be sharp.stihl.
buy once etc, regret the cost for a month then spend the next 20 years happy with your quality purchase.
couple of examples on ebay (ms210)

My dad has a Stihl chainsaw. He got the smallest one then ended up cutting down lots of trees so went one up when it was stolen. So it is worth considering blade length.
Also might be worth looking at Echo - we have a bushcutter and it has been excellent and was recommended by the local greenkeepers. I think they are also a bit cheaper.

Unless you own a forest a cheap chainsaw is fine
I bought a £50 B&Q own brand (oregon blade) electric chainsaw 10 years ago. I've taken down about 15 trees and 4 or 5 large bushes.
They don't get used that often, so you really don't need an expensive one. Personally I'd go for electric if you don't need one that often.

OK I own a forest, OK a forest is maybe a bit of an exaggeration but it’s nearly an acre's worth on my 3 acre building plot. What should I be looking for to thin out the woods, some of the trees are large and what should I expect to pay. Any help would be welcome as I have no idea?

Realistically: a tree surgeon. If you want the trees to be healthy and attractive once you're done that is.You're probably looking a couple of hundred quid a day.
