Agricultural Valuations, now in its fourth edition is written by a practising agricultural valuer who has been working in property for over 50 years. His analysis updates recent changes to tenant right valuations, improvements, fixtures, milk quotas and dilapidations. The author uses numerous example claims and valuations which shed light on recent pipeline and electricity line wayleave claims, notices to remedy breaches, together with probate, income tax and compulsory purchase valuations. Further chapters deal with the guiding principles of how to correctly value farms, assess farm rents, carry out arbitrations, inventories and records of condition. valuation clauses on sales of farms, livestock, soils, management agreements, valuation in court proceedings and a glossary of useful information.
