FARMS & ESTATES
A finite asset
BUYING FARMS & ESTATES
Land. As the old saying goes: “they don’t make it anymore”.
Appealing to a wide range of buyers and facing an ever-growing need to produce food, fibre, energy, deliver environmental protection and provide space for nature and amenity—the demand for land is only set to increase. Land is also an evolving asset, offering opportunities today that were scarcely imaginable five years ago, let alone fifty.
Because of land’s enduring appeal and historically strong capital performance, any acquisition demands thorough due diligence and informed, considered advice.
ABOUT OUR FARMS & ESTATES SERVICE
As landowners and managers ourselves, we understand the multitude of factors that make each landholding unique, along with the specific opportunities and challenges each property may present. For this reason, we assess farms, estates, and forests rigorously —combining detailed on-the-ground inspections with the insight gained from our extensive experience in the sector.
To date, we have purchased nearly 150,000 acres on behalf of clients, including more than 38,000 acres of farmland and 14,000 acres of woodland and forestry.
