Farmland prices after Brexit

Chirpy!

 

[baabaa]

one historian was a wee bit more diplomatic summing him up as
"a casual habitual racist, and an easy mysogynist"

Up? Down? Steady?

I made a deal with myself that I will buy some acres if it hits £4.5K / acre for a reasonable quality arable land. I expect this to happen before 2020 - but then, I am not a real estate expert.

Interesting to hear other opinions on the matter. Not for research or anything, just for personal interest - maybe there is a factor I did not take into account in my estimates.

No change. We are an island. The population is increasing. There’s so much roll over money about it’s silly. £18,500/ac being exchanged around these parts for bare farmland and in decent sized chunks such as 150-300 acres.

Subaru are one of the players I think you are talking about.

Certainly was if you are of the left leaning disposition. They do like to try and discredit him over racist and sexist claims.

they would be bette off paying 40% tax on the development money than those mental prices, unless of course it is next to developed land and then surely any idiot would put an uplift clause on it

 

[le bon paysan]

You did, and although I have not given the matter much consideration I can concur in general with your view - but my reply was to Le Bon Paysan post 102 who focussed solely on the military. Hence the slant of my reply. I appreciate the view of many that pacifists take an easy route relying on the blood of others to secure their freedoms. My objection was to the compulsory element of young having to join the military. Your approach allowed a range of 'acceptable' roles.

I didn't mean service would be compulsory, I talking about people who volunteer. I have no wish to see conscription.

As you may have sensed, I am not of the 'left', but he was still a git...

You know what they say ........ ‘how do you make a farmer ‘A’ millionaire?’

‘Give him 10 million and watch!’.

Apologies for misinterpreting what you meant.

Larkin was a bellll Endd. The end.

Now that we are getting a degree of certainty on post Brexit farming, is everyone expecting a flood of farms and land onto the market this spring?

A good friend is a land agent and he said they’ve had more calls in the last two weeks than they did in 2019. He said it’s a split 50:50 between farmers enquiring about environmental schemes and how much could they earn whilst the other 50% are asking about land prices and thinking of getting out. He said it’s to early to predict but gut feeling is land will come to market and it won’t take much to crash the value. He said 20 farms on the market within 40 mile radius could halve the value at auction.

Where in the country are you?

 

[midlandslad]

I think that areas where there is non farming money will stay relatively static, however the more commercial farming areas will see a rush of land to the market and prices will drop.

He’s based in Oxfordshire.

I thought you meant on our patch like GFW or V@B.

It wont account for neighbours interest though.

I mentioned that and he said that was accounted for and that most of the farmers that have had rollover had already used it and now there’s less land being purchased for houses there’s less money in the farming world. The buyers outside of agriculture will set the market value after doing the maths on the ROI using the new subsidy scheme or lack of it.
