I was told, the best time, to get a new tenant for a tied pub, was in a recession, people who always hankered to run a pub, had their redundancy package, fools and their money, are soon parted, was his view, when they went bust, soon be another mug. Some very strong language was exchanged, as my views were not agreeing with his, but never forgotten that, he worked as a pub letting agent, so not dissimilar, to some land agents !

Just like DHL and others take on sub contractor van drivers. Their business model is based on the sunbird going bust in 6 months.

Out of interest but without being too nosey does the OP have a certain amount of stock and equipment to kick off with or at least access to the latter?

Hello all,

thank you for your comments - really useful and helpful. I have been told by the agent that the tennant gets to keep the BPS entitlements but I dont quite understand this. I always thought if you farmed and areas you could claim BPS, but apprently we need to buy the entitlements? is this normal and is this expensive?

:)

Normal. You might be eligible for new/young farmer entitlements for free from the rpa. Agent should have advised you of that.

Yeah, house at a grand a month makes the land £30 an acre. Shove it all in stewardship gs4, sit back, slippers on, pipe lit.

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
