Thomas Price and Partners provide professional services in rural and farming matters. We specialise in the following areas (click arrow on each area to expand):
Farm Business Consultancy
Having developed an enthusiast interest in agriculture at an early age, Tom has “cultivated” a specialism in this area of the profession, and has the advantage of being able to apply his knowledge to the business of farming, and advise and act on your behalf in connection with a range of matters including:
- Environmental Stewardship
- Contract Farming and Joint Ventures
- Financial Planning
- Rental Tenders, Business Plans and Cashflows
- Farm Business Administration and Management Accounting
Inevitably land has, and will be required for all types of infrastructure including road, rail, cable, pylons, poles, pipelines, telecommunication masts, kiosks, contractors compound, and access to name but a few.
Having acted for both infrastructure providers and private landowner/tenants in dealing with land and rights, by way of both negotiation, and with the support/threat of Compulsory Purchase Powers, Tom has the advantage of knowing how Utility Companies and Statutory Bodies operate and implement their procedures, and in turn is able to protect your interest, and ultimately maximise your claim for compensation.
As soon as you are notified by a third party that they require access to your land, contact Tom at the outset where, in most instances our professional fees are met by the other side.
