[QUOTE="holwellcourtfarm, post: 7455657, member: 42914"] Also remember there are various types of "tenancy" in British farmland. Old style AHA tenancies (Agricultural Holdings Act 1986) which can only be terminated if the tenant commits one of the "7 deadly sins" (failure to pay rent on time, bad husbandry etc). There is a right of succession inherent in these tenancies for the next 2 generations should they qualify. This generally devalues the land by 50% on the open market. Rent reviews can occur every 3 years but only if the right notice is served 12 months earlier and they are subject to appeal if parties can't agree. FBT's (Farm Business Tenancies) introduced in 1995 to replace the AHA and try to increase the supply of farm land on the market. These typically only run for 3 or 5 years and can be ended by simple service of 12 months notice. Rents are very competetive and often ridiculously high leading to "mining of fertility". Short term licences, lasting under 365 days (in order to prevent a tenancy being created by default). Usually used for root crops or grazing.
