Why choose me
I’m an experienced pair of hands when it comes to non-contentious property matters for agricultural and rural landowners and tenants.
This includes farm and estates sales and purchases (often sold in lots and with residential properties), easements, public and private rights of way, boundary queries, complex first registrations at the Land Registry, agricultural tenancies and mortgages.
This field of work often involve sensitive and complex matters. Examples of where I’ve helped people include:
- Acting for the purchasers of a 650-acre estate, including the mansion house and five let cottages. Additional considerations included public rights of way and a canal that bisected the estate, together with the taking of an FBT of additional land.
- Advising a farming partnership on the purchase of a Warwickshire farm of approximately 200 acres with two farmhouses. The transaction involved particular reference to transfer of Single Payment Scheme Entitlements, VAT and general title matters. I also acted for the clients in relation to the funding of their purchase by way of mortgage secured by legal charge. The acquisition was part of long term farm business strategy and succession planning.
- Advising clients regarding the purchase of a Cotswolds farm with particular reference to rights of access, planning history and use of the property and title issues. The environmental and flood reports also highlighted potential high risks but early investigation and liaison with several insurers ensured full insurance was available.
Outside work, I enjoy hill walking and cycling. A particularly favourite location for holidays in recent years has been Italy – again more hill walking. I’m also a regular visitor to the RSC.
