Rural property and land market research
From farmland values to natural capital
Our rural property market research provides the definitive view of the UK agricultural land market, rural estates, the country house market and the natural capital markets increasingly shaping rural value.
We track farmland values across arable, pasture and rural estate markets, publish a regular rural property outlook, and provide dedicated coverage of the country property market and rural lifestyle assets.
Complementary analysis covers natural capital, biodiversity net gain, forestry, energy and the transition of rural policy and support schemes.
Our research supports rural landowners, farmers, estate managers, investors, funders, advisors and policymakers seeking to understand how land values, environmental markets, taxation and policy are shaping the future of rural real estate.
