Connaughton Auctioneers are currently seeking expressions of interest from landowners thinking of letting their lands for the first time in 2017 and landowners whose lands are now at the end of short or long-term leases. Ivan Connaughton MSCSI MRICS MIPAV states: “2016 was a record year for land lettings and with GLAS 3 set to commence on 1st January next, the next few weeks could be the best opportunity to maximise the return on your land over the next five years. Entitlements can also be let with the lands in a long term lease to avail of the tax exemption currently available.
“Despite a very difficult period at present with prices of cattle and sheep, our office has received a substantial number of enquiries seeking agricultural land next year for a variety of reasons including new young farmers and those wishing to re-locate or expand their existing holding”.
Connaughton Auctioneers are now carrying out free valuations for anyone interested in finding out what their land may be worth to lease either short term (10/11 months) or long term (3 years-15 years).
