Expertise in agricultural tenancies & agri-environmental schemes

Wrigleys routinely advise on the Basic Payment and Stewardship Schemes and their interaction with sales, lettings, contract farming and restructuring.

The team also advise on multiple-party Stewardship Agreements - often in the context of common land and upland agricultural property.

Where required, the Agricultural Property Team collaborate with Tax & Estate Planning colleagues to ensure these Schemes sit properly in any restructuring.

Our advice includes:

  • Preparation of tenancies to maximise available Inheritance Tax reliefs.
  • Succession Tenancies, rent reviews, service of Notices and other tenancy queries.
  • Restructuring tenancies in the context of diversification.
  • the many different forms of residential tenancies including those applicable to agricultural workers.

 Jonathan Attey is a very knowledgeable lawyer in his field and also a practical farmer. So his keen legal advice is often tempered by some sound common-sense. He is a good explainer of the more intricate points. He is a calm negotiator who relies on persuasive argument and calm reason rather than aggression, which suits me.

'They have a strong mix of sound legal knowledge with eminent common sense and practical, personal knowledge of the subjects dealt with.'
