What sort of land, 300 acres of rocky permanent pasture or moorland would probably not be worth any more than its BPS value in terms of what it can produce....
Surely land owners have always had the option to make more out of farming the land than letting to a tenant, after all most tenants make some level of income above what what they pay in rent or they would all be bankrupt by now...
They prefer a risk free and work free income.
Fair points. They will still want a risk free income but if that can be achieved with an agent and advisor and a contractor for less than the rental value of the house and buildings then it is a no brainer.
