Rural Licences and Tenancies

If you own or farm rural land, some of it is probably tied to a tenancy or licence, whether that’s land you let out or land you use under an arrangement of your own. Agreements like these are easy to leave informal, and a clear written one saves a good deal of difficulty if a question ever comes up about what was agreed.

Some arrangements are straightforward. A grass keep licence, for example, is something we’re happy to draft or review for you. Others need closer attention, particularly where a tenancy carries long-term rights and obligations on both sides.

We can help with:

• Grass keep and grazing licences
• Farm Business Tenancies
• Agricultural Holdings Act tenancies
• Land occupied without a written agreement in place
• Drafting tenancies if you’re letting land out
• Reviewing tenancies if you’re taking land on

Whichever side of the agreement you’re on, we’ll help you choose the type of tenancy that suits how you actually use the land, and make sure it says what you think it says.

Get the agreement right at the start, and everyone knows where they stand.
