Estate and Land Management
Agricultural Tenancies and Lettings
In what is currently a diverse countryside environment Richardson recognises the need to provide for flexible letting arrangements to facilitate individual circumstances and properties. Whilst providing traditional documents such as Farm Business Tenancies and Grazing Licences we also offer modern pony paddock licences, Livery agreements and various Sporting agreements.
Contract Farming Arrangements
Contract farming arrangements are proving ever more popular through providing substantial benefits to both the land owner and contract farmer. Richardson is at the forefront in advising on agreements and arrangements that encompass current legislation in a functional format. We believe that it is important to have an agreement in place that recognises the level of involvement provided by both parties. In this context our involvement can range from simply completing an Agreement through to full supervision of the agreement, year end account and claim forms preparation.
Rent Negotiation
Local knowledge allied to an understanding of national trends and commodity prices are key components to successful rent review negotiation. Our rural practice surveyors frequently act for either landlord or tenant in the periodic review of rents. We can offer advice on the service of Notices to instigating a review through to detailed negotiation in achieving settlement at a realistic level.
Agricultural Law
All of our Surveyors are qualified to offer informed opinion on issues centred on this complex area of law. A thorough understanding of tenancy law, property ownership, subsidy legislation as well as common law principles is essential to us in addressing your query.
