Sales and Purchases

As one of the UK’s leading law firms with an unmatched reputation and level of expertise in farming and rural land the Burges Salmon rural property team acts for estate owners and private clients around the country.

Our strong team of lawyers, led by Alastair Morrison, acts exclusively on rural sales, purchases and mortgages, dealing with major rural UK land agents and advising on the numerous and varied issues arising from the sale and purchase of estates and large rural properties.

Described as ‘absolutely the standout firm in terms of a wide real estate offering’ by Chambers Guide, our client portfolio includes The Crown Estate, The National Trust and many other estates and heritage properties in family, trust and charity ownership. We have also acted on ‘lifestyle’ acquisitions and advise UK and overseas purchases on investment opportunities in farmland.

The team is also highly experienced in all aspects of secured lending in the agricultural sector, development clawback, options and pre-emption, restrictive covenants, rights of way and leases of agricultural, commercial and residential property.

We work closely with our colleagues specialising in renewables, environmental law, employment and corporate and commercial law.
