Agricultural land acquisition and development
If you own a farm and have redundant outbuildings or land, there a number of options you can consider to maximise your assets.We are experts in pasture land development and agricultural land change of use.
You could consider selling off part of the land or optimise the space by diversifying into horse paddocks and stabling or leisure attractions like paintballing or quad biking. Another area for consideration if you have a large plot is 'land chopping' - breaking the land into smaller plots to sell off so that you maximise your profit.
However, development of agricultural land and buildings linked to farming is classified under an agricultural tie, which makes development of any kind other than agricultural usage extremely difficult.
If you decide against developing the land and wish to sell your agricultural land or are considering a change of use under agricultural permitted development, our team of property experts can offer friendly and impartial advice alongside an unbiased appraisal to assist you in making the correct decisions.
We can research and advise on farms for sale, land for sale, equestrian properties for sale, country properties with land for sale, woodland for sale and horticultural land for sale – in fact, rural properties of all kinds.
One thing to consider with agricultural land and buildings is the avenue of permitted development. Permitted development applies to the change of use in agricultural buildings under three main headings:
Flexible Use
Educational Use
Recreational Use
As with any development, size thresholds, limitations and conditions apply to the permitted development options available to the landowner. Land for sale with planning permission is a very attractive prospect.
By applying the rules of permitted development, agricultural land and buildings can enjoy an extended and often lucrative lease of life.
