Identifying, securing and managing a rare farming asset with the right balance of short, medium and long-term opportunities

Court Lodge Farm represented a rare opportunity to acquire a significant amount of developed space at comparatively low-cost, in an economically active and high-value area. It also made for a wise strategic investment once we’d identified that its 82-acres of arable land had the potential for inclusion in the local authority’s long-term development plan.  

This £2.7m investment has already seen a 33% increase in its rental income across the commercial premises and is likely, one day, to see a considerable capital value uplift through planning gain.
