Services for farm and estate purchases

Acquisitions

We frequently act on behalf of institutions, private investors and farmers to acquire rural property, either on a one-off basis or acting as a retained agent. We work with you to understand your requirements and long-term goals before identifying suitable properties, negotiating a price, and navigating the conveyancing process with your legal team. We will consider every detail of the property, including third-party rights, access, overage, environmental schemes and planning.

Off-market sales

Our dedicated estate and farm agents have unrivalled market experience. We have in-depth knowledge of past, current and potential sales and are often able to identify opportunities that are not on the open market or in the public domain. If you require or would prefer discretion when buying a farm, we can secure a property quickly and discreetly without alerting the market

Rural valuations

Our land valuation experts can conduct specialist RICS Red Book valuations to support your purchase. Whether you’re looking for a formal valuation of complex on-farm assets to inform price negotiations or require a secured lending valuation, our Chartered Surveyors provide professional, independent valuations.

Strategic advice

Understanding the future potential of an estate or farming business is key to successfully buying a farm or estate. We work with you to understand the potential of your onward purchase, advising on the future farming structure and any diversification or natural capital opportunities.
