Long-Term Land Leasing

Curious Geroge

Wondered if anyone has done the Long-Term Land Leasing that allows for tax relief? What has your experience of qualifying been like, does it take long, when is the best time of year to advertise, where's the best place to advertise, what to expect in terms of price per acre, how are payments signed over etc .

Have an outside block leased for last 15 yrs.i find that by using local auctioneer that it makes it easier as they will have a master lease that qualifies you for the tax relief and also the leasee will be paying the auctioneer and auctioneer then pays you.auctioneer fee approx 100 annually which is well worth it in my view.lease prices vary depending on land quality,location and demand but remember its not nessarlly the highest bidder that would be the best choice of leasee as this is a long term commitment ,so a bit of background on any potential leasee would be benificial.leases are usually paid in 2 moities eg march and september but this can be agreed between parties at lease signing.All thet said a neighbour is having problems already with a lease that only commenced last march with leasee looking to reduce lease price and year 1 not even up yet so tread carefully.

All the auctioneer will be doing for his 100 quid a year is receiving the cheque from the lessee (assuming it comes in), buying a stamp, and forwarding it on to you.
