Mixture of farm types joins British summer market
A wide-ranging mix of opportunities has joined the summer land and farms market across England, Wales and Scotland.
Andrew Pearce, Savills head of rural agency in the Midlands, said demand was particularly strong for lifestyle properties and from buyers looking for more green space.
“Generally any property that is attractive and in a good location is selling extremely well, with significant premiums being paid for the best in class,” he said.

“Those in the less fashionable areas or that are compromised or overpriced are sticking.
“Values are generally stable, but there are wide variations, often even between neighbouring parishes.”
