- Tucks Farm comprised an attractive farmhouse, range of modern and traditional farm buildings and extends in all to approximately 160 acres (65 hectares). Guide Price: £2,250,000.
After joining Carter Jonas in the autumn of 2006, Arthur qualified as a member of the RICS in 2009.
Arthur provides advice to numerous private and corporate clients on a variety of professional matters, particularly issues around access and rights over land. He also sells farms, farmland and Estates as well as advising on the Basic Payment Scheme to numerous farming clients across Wiltshire, Somerset and Gloucestershire
In between work on behalf of various private clients, Arthur also spends much of the working day on behalf of Network Rail assisting with their access requirements to the rail infrastructure across Wales.
Instructed to sell Tucks Farm our Rural team were tasked with preparing the farm for sale prior to an extensive marketing campaign.
The preparation required our team to assist the clients with a wide range of issues on the farm, including management of farm staff and arranging the clearance of the farm, including dispersal of all farm machinery and equipment, along with arrangements concerning the house contents. The farmhouse was prepared for marketing, including the arrangement of furniture and household items. Temporary arrangements were put in place for the management of the grassland and buildings following the sale of all livestock.
Tucks Farm was then marketed with the benefit of a professionally produced brochure, including aerial photography, showing the farm at it’s best. This resulted in competitive bidding and lead to a request for best offers from interested purchasers. The sale of the farm completed within 6 months of commencement of marketing for a sale price in excess of the guide price.
Client Feedback: Many many thanks for all your help and support over the last months. It has been great dealing with such a supportive team of people. I particularly appreciate how often you have used initiative, for example over call outs, and that has made my role in this situation a lot easier. Managing a property at a distance and at arm’s length was never going to be easy, but it didn’t prove as difficult as we feared and I thank you for that!
