Rent

[Alternativedairy]

A friend has asked how much a 130acre farm would be to rent per year.
Out of curiosity what do people consider fair and what should that rent include.
To those who do rent if it's not too rude how much do you pay per year/acre and for what?
Thanks in advance and merry Christmas

what sort of farm/ground....guessing not arable?....but dairy grass?....rough pp?....buildings?....house?

 

[multi power]

Somewhere between £50 and £250 an acre

 

[franklin]

Somewhere between £50 and £250 an acre

Plus house.

 

[Alternativedairy]

From what I could gather it was semi decent grazing, sheds, small cubicles, yard etc. A house was there as well. Would that be per month?

 

[spin cycle]

£1500? for lot/month....lot of money to find though.....but someone might pay more

This'll will be for the Wiltshire County Council farm presumably? http://www.w-w.co.uk/sales/55965_mar170041_l/

With a house, subsidy and buildings you're probably looking between £180-220 an acre. Now thats not a fair rent but given that at the moment there are so few farms coming up for rent and there are so many people wanting to farm there is a serious increase in rent values.

Its why if you're on a AHA you should count your lucky starts you had an ancestor.

How profitable would that be?
I've never understood the continued knocking of AHA rents, which are based on the earning capacity of the farm, and are certainly not free or dirt cheap. Only tender what's affordable or what's the point?

So as a rough guestimate of 200 quid an acre a month for 130 acres, that would be what 312000 a year rent?!?

£200 acre/ year

I think people mean £200 acre per year, so £26k overall, or just over £2100 month

Oh ....feel a bit of a wally now [emoji23] that makes faaaar more sense. Too much single malt for christmas

 

[chaffcutter]

No £200/acre per year! £26000.00 and that’s quite enough to find off that acreage

Yes in excess of £70,000

Well, in this area a house like that would probably be a thousand pounds a month if it had a pony paddock. So the farms costing you about £1,050 or 3,000 litres of milk a month, I'm sure someone could make that pay.

Not so sure about AHA rents, hear stories of people renting a few hundred acres for £30 an acre, claiming sub and then selling silage or grazing to the boys nextdoor. Basically just squatting because they were born into the right family or at the right time

It looks set up to go, decent parlour, cubicles ect, if ran right 120 cows would pay a man and a releif and pay back the ingoings over 5 years sensibley on £200 an acre.

For it to be sustainable I think 200 an acre would fair. After that I think you could be changing tenants regular like my neighbour.
