Buying or selling a farm or agricultural land can involve considerations that do not arise in a standard property transaction. From agricultural tenancies and access rights to boundaries, easements and the use of the land, it is important to understand the legal and practical issues that could affect the transaction.
At Gepp Solicitors, our Agriculture & Estates solicitors advise farmers, landowners and rural businesses on buying and selling farms and farmland. We provide clear, practical advice tailored to your objectives and guide you through each stage of the transaction.
If you are buying a farm or farmland, careful due diligence can help identify potential issues before you commit to the purchase.
Our agricultural property solicitors can review the title and investigate matters affecting the land, including rights of way, easements, restrictive covenants, boundaries and access. We can also consider existing agricultural tenancies and other occupational arrangements that may affect how the land can be used.
Where a transaction includes a farmhouse, agricultural buildings or other rural property, we can advise on the different elements of the purchase and ensure the legal documentation accurately reflects what is being acquired.
Selling a farm or agricultural land requires careful preparation, particularly where the title, boundaries or rights affecting the land are complex.
We can review the legal title at an early stage and help identify issues that could delay or complicate the sale. This may include rights of way, easements, agricultural tenancies, unregistered land or discrepancies relating to boundaries and access.
Our team can prepare the necessary legal documentation, respond to enquiries raised by the buyer’s solicitors and work with your land agent and other professional advisers to help the transaction progress efficiently.
Farm and farmland transactions can involve a wide range of legal and commercial considerations. Depending on the property and your objectives, we can advise on:
Whether you are buying your first piece of agricultural land, expanding an existing farming business or selling a farm or rural estate, our Agriculture & Estates solicitors can provide practical legal advice throughout the transaction.
We understand that farms and farmland are often more than property assets. They may form part of a family business, a long-term investment or plans for future generations. We take the time to understand your priorities and work with your land agents, accountants and other professional advisers where appropriate.
Gepp Solicitors works closely with the Country Land and Business Association (CLA), and our Head of Agriculture & Estates, Keri Constantatou, sits on the CLA East Committee. This involvement helps our team stay connected to the issues and challenges affecting farmers, landowners and rural businesses across the region.
From initial due diligence and title investigations through to negotiation, exchange and completion, we can help protect your interests and keep your agricultural property transaction moving forward.
