Whole farms, ring-fenced units
and smallholdings.
From a 12-acre smallholding outside Bishop Wilton to a 600-acre Wolds arable unit, we appraise honestly and sell with the discretion most farm sales actually need.
The brief
What this service actually involves.
Farm sales in this region are a small, well-connected market. The buyer pool for ring-fenced arable holdings on the Wolds is finite — neighbouring landowners, expanding family farms, amenity buyers, and the occasional institutional purchaser — and almost all of them know each other. Knowing who's looking, in which parish, at what acreage, is most of the work.
We handle the full range: ring-fenced arable units, equipped livestock farms, smallholdings with paddocks, accommodation farmhouses with land, and the occasional tenanted holding sold subject to existing tenancies. Most farm sales we run are by private treaty to a curated list — we'll go to informal tender where competitive bidding genuinely serves the seller, but not by default. Public marketing is the right route for some sales and the wrong one for others.
Particulars, plans, HM Land Registry checks and tenancy schedules are prepared in-house — not outsourced to a particulars firm — which means the writing actually reflects the holding and not a template. The aim is a clean exchange to a serious buyer at a fair figure, in a timetable that respects both sides.
What we do
Five or six things, done properly.
Whole farm sales
Ring-fenced arable and mixed holdings sold by private treaty or informal tender, with discretion held tight until exchange.
Smallholdings and equipped units
Smallholdings with paddocks, stabling and outbuildings — a steady part of the market, especially around Pocklington and the Wolds villages.
Tenanted holding disposals
Sales of AHA 1986 and FBT-tenanted land — to investors and neighbours, with the tenancy implications properly explained.
Sporting and amenity sales
Shoot land, fishing rights, woodland and amenity blocks — sometimes sold separately from the parent holding where the value justifies it.
Pre-sale appraisals
Honest figure based on recent comparables, with a clear view on whether to sell now, hold, or improve before marketing.
Private introductions
Where the brief is discretion, we approach a short list of trusted regional buyers first — and frequently exchange without ever going public.
