With funding in doubt and intensifying costs, farmers and estate owners are evaluating how they use their land.
While nobody yet knows what form Brexit will take, agricultural businesses and landed estates are preparing themselves for the loss of EU funding and are looking at alternative markets and funding options to assist them further.
Management of an estate is also getting more costly. Changes such as the introduction of the MEES regulations are forcing estate owners to make expensive upgrades to both their commercial and residential properties in order to stay compliant.
One of the key issues for many landed estates is succession planning and managing the transition from one generation to the next. The earlier that new generations play a part in the running of the estate, the greater their understanding of the pitfalls.
