Rural property valuations often involve more than a straightforward assessment of land and buildings. Agricultural tenancies, diversification income, development potential, environmental agreements, subsidy arrangements, access rights and market evidence can all affect value. Herbert R Thomas provides clear, robust valuation advice for private clients, professional advisers, lenders and public bodies.
Our Chartered Surveyors and RICS Registered Valuers prepare valuations for secured lending, taxation, probate, Capital Gains Tax, Inheritance Tax planning, partnership changes, matrimonial matters, dispute resolution and strategic asset reviews. In 2026, Herbert R Thomas became an accredited valuation panel firm for the Agricultural Mortgage Corporation (AMC), one of the UK's leading specialist agricultural and rural lenders, further strengthening our secured lending valuation services across the rural sector. We provide independent valuation advice on farms, agricultural land, country houses, equestrian properties, diversified rural businesses and development land, delivering reports that meet lender requirements and reflect the complexities of the rural property market.
Where required, valuations are prepared in accordance with the current RICS Valuation – Global Standards, commonly known as the Red Book.
