Sporting Estates
Gone fishing…
An enduring destination for field sports. We work with clients to find and purchase sporting estates across the UK, which has included properties offering deer stalking in the Highlands, trout and salmon fishing on the finest rivers in Scotland and grouse moors in the North of England.
Our clients also buy for broader recreation uses and an escape in the great outdoors. Rural properties can offer fantastic access to water sports, golf, mountain biking and hill walking.
We are one of the most active buying agents of farms and estates in the UK, the majority of which had some form of shooting and/or stalking activity, whether in-hand, let or syndicated and in both lowland and highland locations. They have included numerous lochs and extensive stretches of rivers and coastline. We understand management and are effective at enabling smooth transition between ownership.
BUYING SPORTING ESTATES
This is a rare market with few transactions so it is vitally important to understand the uniqueness and strength of every opportunity.
Sporting Estate owners see their properties as an investment in habitat, conservation, and people, but above all, enjoyment. As such, rarely are they a profitable enterprise. The best of sporting properties often transact discretely, and on the private market, so gaining access to these opportunities can be very challenging. We are consistently active and exceptionally well connected in this market.
ABOUT OUR SPORTING ESTATES SERVICE
The RMC team have bought, sold, developed and managed sporting estates and property for a combined 90+ years.
We understand what makes a good sporting estate and how to set one up. We recognise the synergy required between sporting, farming and forestry enterprises within one estate entity. Our considerable experience in low ground shooting, grouse moors, deer forests, and salmon rivers enables us to determine the potential and limitations of both the estate itself, its management and how the current regulatory environment may impact it. These are long term investments – we give our clients clarity to make the right decision for the future.
