CASE STUDY 2
LAND & ESTATE MANAGEMENT
Keeping it in the family: Creating a more dynamic and hands-on mixed estate and working farm in Hampshire.
Overview
Our client took over an entirely let estate with the vision to create a more dynamic and hands-on family estate.
For the wider estate we recruited (and continue to oversee) a full-time maintenance team of four and a full-time forestry and woodland team of four to manage the buildings and woodland. Separately, we created an in-hand farm of several thousand acres by negotiation with retiring tenants that spans arable, beef, sheep, dairy and game enterprises, whilst also overseeing the building of several new agricultural buildings in the process.
To run the farm, we recruited a farm manager, two dairy workers, two tractor drivers, a stockman and a workshop engineer. Subsequently, the client’s Estate Office required expansion and so the team recruited (and manage) two bookkeepers and two property managers.
The team also acted for this client in the purchase of some neighbouring land, advised on the creation of a diversified trading enterprise, helped set up a sporting club, built a new shoot lodge and managed major restoration projects on several listed houses. All the while ensuring that the budget is kept, dozens of properties are let, the rent collected, the maintenance taken care of and that the myriad health and safety and other compliance matters are fully met in the most practical and tax efficient manner available.
