Woodland and forestry investment services

Forestry investment analysis

We use our specialist knowledge to prepare detailed forestry investment analysis reports for our clients, providing forecasts of income and expenditure over the lifetime of their forests.

Whether you’re new to forestry investment or have an existing portfolio of woodlands, an appraisal of future cash flow is a vital tool in planning and understanding your forest’s potential, highlighting many factors to help keep your investment on track.

If your woodland investment is for harvesting timber, the income from timber sales will depend on crop quality, growth rates, location, and timing. Once an investment analysis has been completed, the forecast may be varied to show the effect of changed assumptions.

Identification & acquisition of woodland property for investment

Our specialist team of forestry investment managers helps our clients identify and acquire robust investments that meet their objectives. Using their keen market knowledge and industry contacts, they curate a selection of suitable investment opportunities from woodland property for sale on the open market and off-market collections.

Our forestry investment management team will advise on the value of your potential investment, including forecasting cash flows and timber income for selected forestry properties.

Our teams support clients through the entire acquisition lifecycle. They help in the preparation of formal offers or negotiating heads of terms for off-market situations, through ensuring contractual conclusion, to ensuring matters such as employees, insurance, equipment, and stock are all dealt with appropriately, and that the property is in the agreed condition.
