Anyone go to the viewing in Exmoor today?
Same estate as me!
Us tenants got a nosy around couple weeks back
Are they trying to let it to an existing tenant? Someone was saying its the first farm the estates let in 20 years or so?
So many restrictions to me now I am older and wiser I would think renting this farm would be too stressful...but I expect some youngsters will jump at the chance but enthusiasm here could be very dangerous
I suppose you can look at them as restriction or you can look at it as the framework to build your farm on. I think if you went into the tender pitching a ridiculous rent then you're in for stress but it could be a great home and business with the right attitude
More likely to give to an incomer that way they can put aside local predudices and influences and get a clean canvas to work with. Rightly or wrongly the modern NT wishes to do some "experimental" stuff with its land management so my guess is 25-40 year old couple from at least 50 miles away with very open minds.Are they trying to let it to an existing tenant?

How big was the place?Didn't ever get an interview. Wonder why we bother

We went for a duchy farm last year, got on the shortlist and interview etc. Then they just gave it to an existing duchy tenant anyway, used us to set his rent!
What makes you think YOU should get an interview, I take it there were other would be tenants, are they not entitled to an equal chance? may be they were more suitable than you. If you wonder why you bother, I wonder if its really for YOU(perhaps the landlords agent got your vibes)Didn't ever get an interview. Wonder why we bother
Thats rather harsh.What makes you think YOU should get an interview, I take it there were other would be tenants, are they not entitled to an equal chance? may be they were more suitable than you.

That's rather harsh.
Rollocks. This isn't the 1920's.......with a batwing topper and a big tractor, a LL can keep his land in good condition topping it twice a year. If he can't do that, he ain't fit to own it anyway.The boot will be on the other foot after brexit, the agents that still have a job will be begging you to farm it, with a rent free period, low rent, long tenancy, house done up etc etc
how will he live?Rollocks. This isn't the 1920's.......with a batwing topper and a big tractor, a LL can keep his land in good condition topping it twice a year. If he can't do that, he ain't fit to own it anyway.
Surely better that giving it away for 200 years......
Pocket the SFP. Which Gove insists we'll still get. Or if he's really, really switched on, he could actually farm it himself............ No land agent fees either.And
how will he live?
