Agriculture
Lacy Scott and Knight is long-established within the farming community of Suffolk, Norfolk, Essex and Cambridgeshire. We are well respected for our sound judgement and understanding of rural and agricultural matters. The rural economy continues to change at a fast pace brought about by Brexit, globalisation of agriculture, the changing nature of land ownership, subsidies and planning regulations.
Our experienced team of Land Agents are able to offer advice to both landowners, farmers and tenants. We currently act for a range of rural landowners and occupiers, of varying size and complexity, with interests ranging from the more traditional farming activities to those that have or are looking to diversify as a way of introducing additional streams of income.
