Agricultural Tenancies

Our property solicitors regularly deal with commercial and residential leases and have specific expertise in advising clients on the law relating to agricultural tenancies. We regularly provide clients with advice on tenancies under the Agricultural Holdings Act 1986 and the Agricultural Tenancies Act 1995 (Farm Business Tenancies).

We have helped clients with a range of matters including:

• Tied cottages
• Grazing agreements
• Farm business tenancies
• Agricultural holding tenancies
• Agricultural residential tenancies

Agricultural workers may have some special protection if they live in accommodation that meets certain requirements. The level of protection will vary depending on whether the agreement was reached before the Agricultural Tenancies Act came into force in 1995. Our solicitors will be able to give you advice on which act applies to your situation.

How our agricultural tenancy solicitors can help you:

• Provide advice on contentious and non-contentious matters relating to your lease
• Assist with applications to the Agricultural Land Tribunal
• Draw on the skills and advice of colleagues in other teams including property litigation and employment
• Work with your other professional advisers, such as land agents and surveyors
