Experience

  • Assisting in the purchase of a circa 900 acre arable farm in Northamptonshire. The purchase was concluded within a short timescale to negate a large capital gains tax liability. The purchase involved unregistered land, adverse possession issues, residential tenancies, higher level stewardship scheme and basic payment scheme, grazing licences and a large contract farming agreement which covered the majority of the farm.
  • Assisting in the sale of a circa 600 acre poultry and arable farm in Oxfordshire. The sale involved a mix of registered and unregistered land, a number of service occupancies for the farm employees and higher level stewardship scheme and basic payment scheme.  
  • Purchase of a circa 135 acre Welsh livestock farm situated on the West coast of Wales. The purchase involved farm business tenancy issues, a Site of Special Scientific Interest situated on the farm and foreshore rights.
  • Re-finance of a Warwickshire racing yards jockey accommodation.
