SALES & PURCHASES
Advice on selling or buying; guidance on method of sale; preparation of sales particulars and advertising schedules; assistance with buying property from a base valuation level through to full negotiation on the client's behalf.
ESTATE & TAX PLANNING
It is increasingly important that our assets are maintained, distributed, sold or passed on in as tax efficient a way as possible; the Stephensons team specialise in the fields of Inheritance Tax or Capital Gains Tax planning; with our general knowledge of agriculture and property values, we are best qualified to advise on the family's future estate planning, and to guide on difficult inheritance problems.
BANK & MORTGAGE VALUATIONS
We are professional Chartered Surveyors with the authority and ability to carry out RICS "Red Book" valuations for bank and mortgage purposes; our fees will be competitive and our service efficient.
PROBATE VALUATIONS
When bereavement affects a family, we can offer a sympathetic appraisal of the assets required for valuation in an Estate; we provide formal valuation certificates for the Inland Revenue and will negotiate a settlement.
MATRIMONIAL OR FAMILY ARRANGEMENTS
- We can act for either side in a professional capacity and also can, if required, provide independent valuations for the court; we are qualified to give evidence in court.
POTENTIAL DEVELOPMENT PROPERTY
- The Stephensons team can advise on potential development, whether it is for holiday cottages, barn conversion, new buildings or a full-scale residential complex. We have the resources to call upon our Estate Agency & Commercial colleagues to give a comprehensive development service.
VALUATIONS OF PLANT AND MACHINERY
Through our regular and specialist sales and auctioneering work we are able to keep fully up to date with values of plant and machinery, we can carry out on-site valuations throughout the North of England.
VOLUNTARY ARRANGEMENTS AND INSOLVENCY WORK
We are able to offer a wealth of experience in dealing with this complex area of work.
TENANCIES AND RENTS
Through our membership of the Agricultural Valuers Association and the Chartered Surveyors Institution, we have unrivalled access to the latest changes and opinions on every aspect of tenancies and rents. We can act for either landlord or tenant.
- A.H.A. 1986 ACT TENANCIES - We have generations of experience in dealing with tenancies under the A.H.A. 1986 Act covering rent reviews, succession, surrender, dilapidations and tenant right.
- FARM BUSINESS TENANCIES - Since 1995, the law allows great flexibility in the landlord and tenant system; and we hold on computer a range of templates for alternative FBT Agreements to suit the individual circumstance. We advise on rent, surrender and dilapidations.
- SHARE FARMING AND CONTRACTORSHIPS - This is the new relationship between landowner and farmer which keeps total control of the land without the hassle of day-to-day management. The landowner can remain a "farmer" for tax purposes whilst the contractor has the freedom to get on with the job. We can tailor a share farming arrangement to suit any circumstance.
DISPUTE RESOLUTION
A small but important specialist field in which Stephensons have experience and expertise through some partners having been members of the Lord Chancellor's Panel of Arbitrators. Whatever the agricultural dispute, we can offer an independent resolution service for clients.
COMPULSORY PURCHASE
We are frequently asked to look after clients' interests during the acquisition of land for public works and the contract problems flowing from such events as:-
- New roads
- New public buildings
- Water main, electricity or gas extensions
