Title: Grazing rights to common land
Post by: hannah_D on December 15, 2018, 10:31:46 am
Hi all.

Thanks for the advice in advance.

Me and my husband are making the leap into buying a smallholding. The property comes with the rights to graze 200 sheep over quite a large parcel of common land on a mountainside in north wales.

We will want to start small, so we won't be using this initially. We'd like to be able to rent it out so we can invest in the farm. Is it possible to rent out our rights to common land? I can't find much advice on this, some sites suggest this is not allowed, but I've seen some suggest that you can but only for 2 years?
