‘A safe pair of hands for agricultural land investment’

Minimising the risk for you

Buying land does have its risks. We can work with you to understand your objectives and pinpoint any issues that might have an impact on your returns.

• Vacant possession
  Taking vacant possession of a farm may well give you the best chance for long-term capital growth. But if the farm is subject to an Agricultural Holdings Act Tenancy, you may not achieve vacant possession. And if the land is vacant, you will need to make sure that the Tenancy Agreement you put in place works for you. We can draw up an agreement to minimise your involvement and maximise your returns.
• Countryside Stewardship Scheme
  Putting land into specialist schemes can bring you extra income. There are lots of schemes to choose from, but you need to tread carefully. If you don’t comply with the scheme rules, you may forfeit the benefits. When you’re buying land we’ll review any Countryside Stewardship Schemes that have already been entered into, and advise you on your obligations to the scheme and the implications of this after completion.
• Amenity value
  You may be looking at agricultural land investment for its amenity value, rather than for its farming potential. For instance, the sporting rights on land can be very valuable. But there may be restrictions on how you use the land. We can check every element to make sure your investment is what you think it is, and is as risk free as possible.
