Understanding agricultural property matters
Agricultural property transactions differ from standard commercial property work. They often involve tenancies governed by specialist legislation, long-standing family arrangements and land subject to rights of way, sporting rights or development restrictions.
Issues may arise in relation to:
- Agricultural Holdings Act tenancies
- Farm Business Tenancies
- Rights of access and easements
- Overages and option agreements
- Development potential and land promotion
- Compulsory purchase and infrastructure schemes
Careful legal review is essential to protect land value and avoid long-term complications.
