Convert long term solar income into capital … your land could be worth more than you think

Land Owners

Are you seeking to realise a capital sum by selling land which is subject to a solar farm lease? We buy land under solar farm leases.

Why many farm and estate owners are considering a sale:

The past few years have brought significant financial challenges affecting rural and farm property ownership making long term planning difficult to effect. With Government and leadership changes happening in quick succession, so too the policies and taxation forcing new ways of thinking about estate management and succession. The ending of Agricultural Property Relief with the new Inheritance Tax rules; changes to Capital Gains Tax; uncertainty over changes to High Value Council Tax Surcharge and taxes on rental income … all can cause what used to be sensible, conservative long term plans to be reconsidered.

How a sale of land assets under leases can help:

Selling land subject to a solar farm lease allows a more immediate release of capital, and at a significantly higher value per acre, allowing owners to perhaps reinvest in other agricultural assets and infrastructure; acquire more land; repay and manage debts or help family members.

Frequently asked questions:

What is the smallest or largest acreage you will consider?

There is no minimum or maximum acreage. We look at each site on its merits.

Why should I use your company rather than an estate agent? 

If you feel more comfortable using an agent, you should do so. Please remember to offer the land to us if you go down that route.

How long could the process take from your proposal to completion?

Roughly two months.

Would you consider buying extra land for potential battery storage?

Yes. We would buy extra land for battery storage and/or solar farm expansion.

Would you buy the land before the solar farm is operational?

Yes, we would.
