Purchasing a farm of your own is an exciting and big prospect.

Before you can begin your farming journey, there are many legal considerations and steps that must take place to ensure the farm you purchase is workable, valuable and will enable you to run a successful farm. 

Before purchase

The first step in the purchase of any building, commercial property or land is to view it.

Viewing farmland ensures you can see the condition of fields, land, barns, property or farmhouse, yards, etc. and also see things that may not have been declared in the sales memorandum.

For example, there may be evidence of pollution, illegal flytipping or infertile soil. 

Once you have viewed and decided to proceed with an offer, you will liaise with the estate or land agent until the offer is accepted.
