Market Comment – January 2012
Early signs for 2012 are that the appetite from those commercially minded farmers, be it both dairy and arable, are still keen to acquire land.
This will undoubtedly continue to keep land values strong and certainly in the opinion of Tony Rimmer, Director at Rostons, premium sales can often be achieved with careful marketing.
In the Rostons experience, whilst traditionally auction has been the most successful route to obtain premium values, this has decreased in recent years as the banks become more difficult to arrange finance. Traditionally auction has a five week period for advertising and even for the best customer this only provides a limited timescale for the Bank Manager to make sure finance is in place. As a result, during the tail end of 2011, we saw marked contrast in values between private sales and those where auction was involved, particularly if there were only a limited number of interested parties.
In most areas it is easy to identify which active farmers are likely to be interested and by approaching them direct, often good prices can be achieved in a reasonable timescale.
If you are thinking of selling land, farms or development property, please contact the Rostons Team.
Market comment – Spring 2011
Spring 2011 has not seen the usual rush of Rural properties to the market
Land remains in short supply and the demand from farmers for good sized blocks is strong – generally they have the funding available
Funding the purchase can be difficult in the current economy as agents for the AMC (Agricultural Mortgage Corporation) and with our strong links with the high street banks we can often help secure funding
Market comment – Autumn 2010
Another year with an increase in land values – more property traded by Rostons and all to premium prices.
Farmers remain strong in the market for bare land and whole farms – Cheshire land now readily £7500 – £10,000 per acre.
Residential market tricky but if marketed priced correctly will sell. Finance hard for purchasers to arrange therefore method of marketing critical.
