Solicitor recommendations for buying a farm in Scotland please

[holwellcourtfarm]

Who owns it? Most of the land is on the west of the 68.It always looks well in September when im past on my annual pilgrimage to the mart for the sheep sales.Could easy get a house in Boswells and farm it from there.Tootle up and down with quad bike and jobs a good un. Is it not light land around there?

An A road through the middle counts us out for a start.......

Trees in fields we are happy with, indeed we might even be planting some ourselves.

 

[holwellcourtfarm]

I wouldn't wish our current farming climate on a mate.... it's a shitshow down here, to put it politely.

Same "let's watch it burn, and build it back better" UNspeak crap you guys have to endure, without the topups or respectable farmgate pricing for low-impact commodity production. Probably the best sector is forestry or arable, and Ian isn't headed that direction

just hope he's headed our way for a visit and some cough syrups/Fanta

Frightening what 4 years of the wrong government approach can do, isn't it!

Before anyone raises the ideas of the wee Nicola, she has nothing on Jacinderella.

Checked out. Not a bad spot. A bit further north and Mel would get eaten alive.

It’s good area but that patch will be the worst of the good stuff , he’s spoilt it with tress all
Over the place and that bloody road divides it , it’s a bog hole in the winter all detracts from it in my eyes and bet it makes over a million though , some heavy hitters have it surrounded .

Check its history
It is known as long newton forest
Because it was all trees till ww2
Horrible clay grade 4.2

I moved farm a few years ago, not far just from my place to my Aunts place 6 miles away. Spent a lot on it and now live in a lovely spot in a nice house, very pleased with how it ended up.
All through the process plan B was Shropshire and if I did it over again I think it would be Shropshire. Lovely county , very rural and also still very agricultural. Plus it is about 30% cheaper than Cheshire if not more.

Used to be, I think all the Midlands counties are becoming very high value .

Will the Agrimart guy be interested in it? He cant be far away. How much more than the guide do Scottish farms usually make? If its guided at £750,000,and you think it will make £1 million?

Scotland lacks a decent colored native population to have a proper go at woke governance ( apart from Jock the coal man) Although I wouldn’t be surprised that if they save the weegies that have never worked in 4 generations are the true scots, and anyone that works obviously has English blood and should pay reparations.

Has a list been published?

I don’t know , some big hitters in that area but weather they interested in grass or not is another thing , the arable field is cut in half with a busy foot path.
