talking on a tenant farm - how much rent should we pay?

[ImLost]

View attachment 893057 looks cheap too me

I wouldn't mind that... Anyone in Norfolk/Suffolk looking to rent out something similar? You are welcome to drop me a DM... Could be (a few) drink(s) in it for you ?

Show me a house of same standard for grand a month.... the house is no more than a council house you’d find in your local Arab populated council estate just because it’s plonked in the countryside doesn’t make it any more valuable

Supply. Demand. I've not got the particulars but unless the house is sat next to a railway line, or the farm has an annoying "other house" belonging to someone else with a row through the yard, then a grand a month is easy for the house.

Sheds don't look bad either. Depending on location would make a nice "wife and daughter" farm IE cheaper than renting house and paddock while husband works in London five days a week.

Sad but true.

Sad but true yes... my house is village near it and much much nicer, 3 bed, big gardens and recently refurbished top to bottom and I had it valued for renting out when I’d considered renting said farm.. the estate agent reckoned I’d get £600 for it a month was hopeful for 800 really ...

£600 here gets you a 4 bed new build in a decent village. 3 bed out of a village with a pony paddock is £900. Big difference for the privacy and space just to let a dog run about a bit.

So if you took that £600 a month it would effectively leave the farm at £126.47 an acre, daughter's sold all her lambs which she had born from her ewes this time fat, 3 draws all off just grass, averaged 44kg and £122 apiece, you keep telling us these farms are too dear, I can't see it, there's plenty of staffs tenants current and ex on this forum and none come on here running these farms down like you, and no one's holding a gun to their heads to make them stay.

My point was one lamb paid the rent.

On that size of starter holding you can work off farm, relief milking etc and then keep beef, sheep, pigs or something, low labour intensity and you've got it made if you're prepared to graft, dreams can be made

This year.
What happens when they're 40 quid tops next year.

Was this the staffordshire or the devon county council farm?

It'll take 3 lambs to pay the rent.
