Buying or selling a farm
At Savills we have built a trusted reputation for selling and buying rural properties and land. Our marketing expertise is extensive, deeply-embedded and national in scope.
Buying or selling an estate
Our specialist rural agency team has spent many years delivering results for private individuals, farmers, investors and institutions alike, and has become a natural port of call for anyone looking to buy or sell a sporting, residential or agricultural estate.
Our team focuses on the valuation of property assets that make up an estate or farm. These valuations can be for the purpose of loan security, taxation, internal transfers or for dispute resolution, and so need to be accurate, informed and respected.
Estate management
Our national team of 320 provides a comprehensive estate management service, from ad hoc advice to full management. We work closely with owners of all sizes of estates, whether they comprise 50 acres or thousands of acres, helping to efficiently manage their business.
For more than 40 years we have helped our clients secure finance for their farms, estates and rural development projects. This has released funds for projects, tapped into latent potential and helped to mitigate financial difficulties for land owners, farmers, food businesses and those working in the wider rural sector.
