Rural and Agricultural Property

Back to Commercial Property

With many years of experience advising farming familiarise and agricultural businesses, we are proud to act for a wide range of rural and agricultural clients including estate and land owners, tenant farmers, investors and farming partnerships and businesses. Having experienced lawyers can save a substantial amount of time and costs, both of which we understand are key elements for any client.

The team here understand the needs, requirements and issues that affect rural and agricultural property, as members of the team are actively involved in agricultural and rural practices outside of their day-to-day roles. This brings a different perspective to the understanding and approach when working with a client.

The team comprises transactional lawyers and litigation specialists from the land and property dispute resolution team.

Having the correct legal framework in place is essential. Not just for business planning but also for piece of mind for the events and challenges operating in this sector can bring. Our team work closely with land agents, accountants, planners, government bodies and other professional advisors to ensure the right team of advisors are involved from the outset.

Farm acquisitions and disposals, including financing and equestrian property
