The time is ripe for new-style tenancies

Article Abstract:

An annual survey of tenanted farms in the UK or 1994 has been carried out by the Central Association of Agricultural Valuers. There is a continuing movement toward short-term tenancies and a scarcity of unqualified new lets. The tenanted sector is decreasing fast in the UK and there is a need to tackle some issues before the problem can be solved. The issues include changes in the taxation of spending on property which is let and an assurance from the Labor Party that there will be no retrospective changes to the law.

Agricultural Mortgage Corporation plc v Woodward and another

Article Abstract:

A UK appeal court allowed an appeal from Agricultural Mortgage Corporation plc relating to the mortgage of a holding and the attempt by the landowner to create a tenancy. The case focused on whether such a tenancy was invalid since it ran counter to the 1986 Insolvency Act, section 423. The tenancy was given to allow the wife of the main defendant to safeguard the home of the family and continue to farm. The plaintiff would then be forced to pay a higher sum in order to have vacant possession of the farm.

Conference calls for frontiers on farm tenancies to be pushed back

Article Abstract:

A one day conference on the U.K.'s Agricultural Tenancies Act 1995 held in London in June 1996 was told that there could, and should, be a much wider use of farm business tenancies (FBT). Labor Party peer Lord Carter told the meeting that a Labour government would not bring in retrospective litigation on FBTs and that the party hoped to make more farms available for long-term tenancies.
