Farms and Agricultural

At Selby Lowndes Solicitors, we have the expert knowledge and skill to deal effectively with cases involving farms and agricultural land and have a wealth of experience in this complex area.

Complicating factors which can arise in these cases are where a farm has been inherited by one party, and possibly passed down for several generations, or where there is a disparity between the level of income which a farm can produce and its capital value. Some farms may have diversified into other areas, property, farm shops and visitor centres for example. Many farms are run and owned by several members of the family and have complicated ownership structures.

Negotiations require a specific skill and understanding of this area. There is often a fine balance to be struck between raising capital, and considering the effect that this may have on the running of the farm, its prosperity and future viability.
