Q4 2019
The UK’s land market has been faced with tough conditions over the last 18-24 months, largely due to Brexit uncertainties, which have resulted in a weakening of sterling, and worries surrounding the future of farm subsidies. As expected, these issues have been reflected in land value trends, however the situation could have been a lot worse. Values have held up remarkably well and have only suffered modest falls.
Don’t be lulled into thinking the property sector will lie immune to the fast approaching driverless transport revolution. Professor Simon Gibson, a leading expert on autonomous vehicles, warns not to underestimate the changes that will reshape parts of the market by 2040.

Demand for lifestyle farms has increased more than usual towards the end of this year, despite the market generally being quiet. Talk of changes to Capital Gains Tax on second homes has cooled the market somewhat, however this has not deterred vendors preparing to launch assets in the new year.
Supply of farmland to the open
market remains very restricted, which has assisted in underpinning values and keeping demand relatively
healthy. Many deals continue to be handled off-market, often achieving higher than average land values.
Off-market opportunities are increasingly popular, particularly for commercial farmland. Lifestyle properties and mixed assets are also in high demand. Looking forward, we expect a number of farms to launch in the spring taking advantage of the "Boris bounce".

Lifestyle buyers remain active across the region, and a shortage of properties continues to underpin demand. Looking to 2020, pipeline has reduced given the undersupply borne from the General Election, Brexit, and general climate but green shoots are starting to show. There are still prospects available for purchasers looking to acquire in the region and more market activity than the property pages would indicate.

In the South West, there is increased demand for neighbouring farms, as well as from purchasers who can benefit from rollover funds. Given the structure of the region, hot spots and not spots are commonplace, and locations are extremely price sensitive. Despite this, vendors are keen to market their properties, with a good selection due to launch in the new year.

Whilst the Welsh market has been characterised by restricted supply of commercial farmland over the last 12 months, this has resulted in continued healthy demand for farmland that has come to the market. Smaller holdings with a lifestyle element are attracting good interest and selling well,
which we expect to continue into 2020.
