So next door farm to me has just come up for sale. I feel it's a once in a lifetime opportunity to extend the farm keeping a ring fenced block and would certainly add a bit of value to my own farm being a bigger block. This is big money so what's the best way to finance it and who should I be...

Hi So we are fairly new to farming and due to a few reasons we wont be pursuing entitlements/claiming BPS. However, we have been advised to look at Wildlife offers and Hedgerow/tree type funding. We have had a look and my business partner is unimpressed with the tie in time and the amount paid...

Been seeing a couple of articles about the worrying likelihood of a ramping up of inflation before long... Sprog 2 works for a investment and wealth management outfit, and they are spreading investment risk on the basis of an increase. As anyone over mid 40s will be very aware of, it's not good...

I have found a property with 20 acres which I wish to buy but it has an agricultural tie. Not an issue as we meet the criteria. However, finding a mortgage lender is proving very difficult. Any recommendations??

money is cheap just now and it seems if I'm ever going to upgrade facilities on the farm/buy additional land now would be the time to do so, this will take substantial investment but could look like money well spent by the time its paid off with inflation, I'm looking for a bit of bare land if...

Hi, I am in the process of buying a farmhouse in good condition but with a U-shaped steading at the rear which is not developed. The plot size is 9 acres and is located in central Scotland Perthshire. I didn't realise how difficult these properties are to mortgage. Residential mortgages won't...

Just received my brokers report on my share holdings for the year 2020. Across the board reading of my mixed portfolio is that I am about 20% DOWN from this time one year ago. Considering turmoil during 2020 am happy,as it could have been much worse.

I am currently trying to borrow money for land. Dealing with ulsterbank in NI - they are quoting me 4.1% with a max lending period of 20 years. Is there anyone in NI who offer better rates? I read in another thread about Lloyds offering 2.2% and AMC 3%

We have long held AMC to rights on its fixed rate loans. These carry huge break costs in the event the fixed rate loan is repaid early. The new Business Banking Resolution Service (BBRS) is looking at all manner of banking disputes, but while it will look at issues with Lloyds Bank, it doesn't...

We would like to buy a house for a worker, he would be on a salary including the house. How would getting a mortgage work, would some of the partners need to get a private mortgage? Does it need to be a buy to let mortgage? Can the business get a mortgage and have the house as a business asset?

My BIL lives in Walton on Thames, Surry. They're is now in a tier 2 area, so Mrs BIL couldn't go and visit her daughter and grandchildren yesterday. Meanwhile my BIL's next door neighbour and the one opposite both had lots of people round for lunch.
