Our Estates & Farm Agency Department handles the sale and purchase of about 100,000 acres of farmland, residential and commercial farms, and sporting estates throughout the UK every year.

We specialise in the sale and purchase of estates and farmland only, using national expertise and detailed local knowledge to advise clients. We work closely with our Farming Department and other departments within the firm to provide support ranging from Single Farm Payment issues and farming schemes to taxation and planning.

In acting for purchasing clients, we are often able to identify opportunities not on the open market and are able to provide advice on the future farming structure, including farmland reports and cash flows.

In recent months we have seen dramatic rises in land values principally on the back of improved commodity prices in the arable and dairy sector. This has resulted in a lack of supply of farmland available and considerable demand, often from outside the farming industry, from investors or those interested in the tax advantages of buying land.
