Happens around here , landlord has half the rental thou , can only mean issues in my opinion come succession. Landlords and agents agenders change with time so any diversification on rented ground or buildings needs to be written down and be bullet proof for the future successors in respect it doesn’t give the landlords the higher ground.

I had permission to diversify 20years ago with the then agent saying I could keep all the profits.
Guess what the new agent says I wouldn’t have got an agreement like that off him and uses the diversified income in rent negotiations ! Always causes an argument

Our land agent told us when we looked into a tourism diversification that it would end our aha and move us to a fbt, so that ended it for us tbh.
