Renting land for commercial use

[Laniakea]

Hi,

Looking for some info regarding renting land from a farmer.

I have a location in mind where I want to get an x year lease for use as a glamping site. Will need to add road access and electricity/ plumbing/ drainage, as well as the glamping pods.

How much will I be looking at per annum for 1-2 acres of land in south Scotland. The field in question attached to a loch and is currently used for grazing sheep (included in case this affects price). I believe the farmer does not farm himself but contracts in people to do so on his land.

any advice for approaching him for a lease and what’s the likelihood he’d rent?


thanks in advance

Ignore anything that starts with working out what the land earns now.
£10k per acre per year would be a tempter.
Bear in mind the farmer might not want anyone there.

I’d be looking at this as a joint venture ( from the farmers side ). Might be worth approaching on this basis.

If farmer just lets the land out, it might become an inheritance tax issue. That might be a factor.
