At Farming UK, we exist to make life easier for farmers, and are proud to announce our latest partnership with VirginLand by Ringley.

In their simplest form, VirginLand act as a matchmaker between landowners and developers. They offer landowners a way to sell their land without traditional brokerage fees, will provide a free appraisal for all Farming UK members, and by virtue of working with a broad range of developers, are well placed to unlock the full developable potential of your land.

Before introducing you to any potential partners, VirginLand would seek to understand your particular deal requirements. For example; do you wish to release short-term money in the next five years? If so, a holiday lets partner might be the most suitable option. Or, are you looking to achieve to the biggest return possible on your land – in which case the best course of action might be to sign an option agreement, so your site can be promoted in the local plan, and ultimately allocated for development, at which point value is at its peak. These proactive considerations (free of charge) to our members are what attracted us to a partnership with VirginLand. 

The team at VirginLand take their fees directly from the developer, meaning that landowners will never pay a traditional brokerage fee at any stage of the sale process, but can still benefit from the support of VirginLand’s in-house planning team. VirginLand are happy to perform a complementary land appraisal for all Farming UK members. To get started, click on the following link: https://www.farming.co.uk/land
