Title: Renting my fields
Post by: Carey boy on September 02, 2014, 05:31:50 pm: Hi,
I intend to rent about 6 acres of land for sheep grazing and rearing. I would like to give the young lad a chance to get started so I'm thinking of letting of 3 years at a pound an acre per year. How can i cover my self for the unknown and what paperwork do I need?

Help please

David

Sorry but I don't understand. I intend to rent the land.

Wish I could find some land for £1 an acre a year ::)

Understand now. I own the land and would like to rent it out. If things all go wrong I would like to know how to safeguard my land so it stays mine. Do I rent it for 12 months at a time or 11 month, all things like that.

Many thanks

David
