Estate Management
Compensation Issues
Our wide experience and up-to-date knowledge allows us to successfully negotiate appropriate compensation for our clients following the acquisition, severance, disturbance and/or injurious affection of land by public utilities.
Farm Reorganisation
In the fast-changing world of agriculture, we are able to provide advice to maximise potential in tax-efficient ways for the many situations that might arise over a generation. This may include letting under a modern Farm Business Tenancy (FBT), Contracting Arrangements or Share Farming.
We offer a range of letting/contract farming services to help our clients comply with the Agricultural Tenancies Act and reduce their fixed costs. These include initial appraisal of all options, advising on likely returns, preparing tender proformas and documenting the arrangement. We work closely with consultants who can administer larger-scale farm management agreements.
Landlord and Tenant Matters
With comprehensive knowledge of agricultural law and the local market, we can advise on tenancy matters including rental, valuations and cost-effective methods of settling reviews.
Dispute Resolution
Dispute resolution is a growing area with a greater emphasis placed on alternative dispute resolution by the courts and other professional bodies. We are well versed in the widening aspects of this subject with many of our Chartered Surveyors appointed as experts in court and arbitration proceedings.
