Landlord proposing 20% rent increase on an AHA. Are they having a laugh?

Every negotiation has to start somewhere.
Offer 5%....

I could live with that.

Every other cost has probably gone up by that amount. As have crop prices.

Can’t speak for livestock though.

Also depends whether it’s 20% of £1 or £100.

No i think they're being serious!

Not Bidwells land agent??
They're asking us for 40% increase

 

[Jon]

I've been asked for an increase and I firmly feel it's not justified.

My tenant neighbours were asked for an increase and have settled for a hold.

It surely makes a difference to rents as to how
much the landlord is prepared to spend
on capital repairs and improvements.

Capital repairs and improvements?

ZERO

Capital repairs and improvements?

ZERO

Perhaps start asking for some off the agent.

All depends on how much you are paying at the moment ?

Income goes up ,rent goes up.

Incomes might be up but what about profits? And without anything credible to replace the lost income from BPS I don't see how rents can do anything other than go down.

Income goes up ,rent goes up.

Net or gross?

Well it is an AHA so I presume you aren’t paying much in the first place?

Get Phillip Meade on the case, they are specialist Tenants men. Davis Meade and Partners

Demand for land up = rent up.

Unless you're on an aha. If you are, your 20 percent rise from five shillings to six shillings is not going to attract much sympathy.

If You Want The Moon, Ask For The Stars

Self-made millionaires commonly request terms they don’t expect their opponents to accept. What many self-made millionaires often do is ask for a whole lot more, recognizing that they’ll give a little or even a lot along the way. By shrewdly asking for outsize terms that your adversaries cannot...

Standard negotiation tactic. Ask for far more than you want. Shock the opposition (you) into moving their expectations. You may have been expecting 2 or 5%; by asking for 20%, they've got you in a position where 10% won't seem so bad...

ETA don't offer 5%, they'll ratchet it up from there. Offer zero, or just say no.

Present a budget for harvest 2023 and ask for a 30% decrease!

In fact the first thing to do is get them to write to you explaining exactly why they think a 20% increase is justified and not just a figure they have plucked out the air. I imagine it could make interesting reading.

Profits?
They just buy a new tractor and say no money in job, don't they?
