Selling farmland can easily be achieved by following the right processes and using all the tools at your disposal. Farms and farmland market demand are increasing; if you want to get yours noticed and ahead of the rest then following these steps will be beneficial:
Presentation
When selling anything, it is important to present it in the best possible way. How the land looks can impact how the buyer envisions their future with it. To make it presentable and to get more value out of it, remove any waste material as it would make it look neater and larger. Cut any grass, hedges or trees and maintain them well for the duration of the sale, this will bode well when you are photographing the land for advertising or when you are conducting viewings.
Timing
It can take 6 –12 months to complete a sale of farmland with spring to summer being the most successful period to sell. This period is where crops are flourishing and the weather is better for viewings, giving the potential buyer a better idea of how the land could benefit them.
Documentation
If you are the sole owner of the land, the title deeds will be in your name. Make sure to have these documents ready for transfer of ownership as being unprepared can cause delays of the sale and scare of potential buyers. You can contact the land registry to confirm and issue the Title Deeds.
Price
If you overprice your land, it can eliminate some serious buyers in the market. Knowing the market value will help calculate a reasonable and fair selling price and will attract more buyers as there will be value for money. To determine an estimated value, you need to have your land appraised by an experienced appraiser.
