@HenryPryor @RightArmLongHop The farm may well have been in the family for generations, and if one spouse has died they will have an IHT bill of £200,000 minimum. Where is that to come from if they want their children (who have grown up with the farm in their blood) to continue farming it?
@HenryPryor @RightArmLongHop Endless specific examples - to be viable a farm usually needs to be at least 200 acres, that equates to about £2m on land value alone, not including house, barns, machinery etc. Although their farm may be worth £2m on paper, the farmer often has an income well below average
@KirstieMAllsopp £299 seems steep - was that first class? Still, I can relate, we wanted a few days away recently and it was cheaper to go door to door from Cornwall to Portugal on Ryanair than it was for us to go to London on the train.
Thanks to everyone at Stacks Property Search and Acquisition for making me feel so welcome today… looking forward to working together 😊 @StacksProperty
