TERMS OF THE TENANCY

The rent will be payable in equal instalments on the 17th day of each month in advance by direct debit. The Landlord reserves the right to vary the area of land prior to the signing of the Tenancy, subject to a pro-rata adjustment in the tendered rent.

Any tenders should be submitted electronically to Caroline Raspison at Carter Jonas.
In addition to the agreed rent, the incoming Tenant will be liable to pay £500 (+VAT) per tenancy agreement, as a contribution towards the Landlord’s costs.
After receiving the tenders, a shortlist of applicants will be drawn up and all applicants will be informed as to whether their application has been shortlisted.
The Landlord’s agent reserves the right to visit shortlisted applicants on their present holding, following which references may be taken up as necessary and a decision will then be made as to the successful applicant. The successful applicant will be informed of the decision as soon as possible and will then be required to sign the tenancy agreement within 14 days of acceptance and prior to entry on the land.
The Landlord and their agent do not undertake to accept the highest or any offer, the decision to let and choice of Tenant is entirely at the Landlord’s discretion.
INGOINGS
There will be no ingoing valuation payment required from the successful applicant; however, a record of condition will be prepared prior to the tenancy commencement date to document the state and condition of the property.
The successful applicant will be required to trim all hedges at appropriate intervals during the tenancy and in any case in the last cutting season prior to the end of the tenancy.
Should any pastures be broken during the tenancy, the successful applicant must produce a soil management plan upon request, to ensure the Landlord’s soils are protected from erosion.
Additionally, before the final year of the tenancy, the Tenant must agree with the Landlord on a final cropping plan, ensuring that each field is either returned to a good-quality long-term ley or sown with an agreed arable or green cover crop.
Applicants should consider these responsibilities and the associated costs when preparing their tender.
