Since 1995 all new agricultural tenancies are called ‘Farm Business Tenancies’.  We can provide expert advice for both landlords and tenants in relation to:

• Negotiating terms
• Drafting new agreements
• Single farm payment considerations
• Stamp Duty Land Tax considerations
• Alternatives to farm business tenancies, such as grazing licences or commercial leases

We advise on agricultural tenancies under the old system, governed by the Agricultural Holdings Act 1986 (AHA), particularly in relation to succession issues and new agreements which are still intended to be governed under the AHA.

We also advise on commercial tenancies which are not primarily of an agricultural nature, notably:

• Equine
• Shooting
• Woodland
• Fishing
• Recreational
• Holiday cottages and B&B
• Farm shops
