Most farms and agricultural entities have commercial property units and land to lease for different reasons:
Our legal experts can help with tenancies including Agricultural Holdings Act tenancies. We can also provide legal support to your development plans on the agreements and leases you will require to establish new commercial enterprises and joint ventures, together with our helpful knowledge of tenancy agreements including Agricultural Holdings Act tenancies. Advice for agreements extends to contracting agreements, grazing licences, notices to quit and use of land. Our Corporate Commercial team can assist with funding options and estate reorganisation, succession planning, including sale of business.
Sometimes referred to as Full Agricultural Tenancies (FATs) or Agricultural Holdings Act tenancies (AHAs), Agricultural Tenancies are tenancies that usually have lifetime security of tenure, and those granted before 12 July 1984 also carry statutory succession rights, on death or retirement. This means a close relative of a deceased tenant can apply for success to the tenancy within 3 months of the tenant’s death, which is positive for those wishing to keep the tenancy rights within the family, up to 3 generations.
Our team is approachable and knowledgeable. We work alongside farm business owners and understand your priorities and look to advise you by understanding your business interests first, and then provide positive legal solutions to help.
