Land lease for the long term has advantages all round

It is a solicitor’s job to identify the risks and advise the land owner

There is a perception out there among farmers and policy makers that professionals, such as solicitors and auctioneers, are discouraging land owners from long term letting of land.

It has been said to me, on more than one occasion, that professionals will profit more by having to renew letting agreements every year, and that it is in their interest to encourage this.
