Farmland values in Wiltshire predicted to rise as environmental interests stoke demand
Farmland values in Wiltshire are expected to rise once again in 2022 – with land that could lend itself to environmental uses predicted to see the largest gain. According to the latest farmland price index from Savills, farmland in the South West region – within which Wiltshire is included - traded at an average of £7,560 per acre last year – the third highest of any region in the UK. The figure was an 8 per cent increase on 2020, representing the highest increase across all land types in England and Wales, with poor livestock land seeing the largest increase in value of 13.3 per cent. Grade 3 livestock land increased by an average of 8.6 per cent, prime dairy by 7.8 per cent and prime arable by 6.6 per cent. Looking ahead agents believe lack of supply and sustained high demand will continue to fuel the market – however levels of price growth will vary depending on land type, geography and quality. Savills researchers are predicting the value of prime arable land will increase by an average of 2.5 per cent a year for the next five years – with poorer quality livestock land that could lend itself to environmental uses expected to increase by an average of 6 per cent a year over the same period. Fred Cook, director in the rural agency team at Savills Salisbury, said: “The lower quality land perhaps has blackmorevale.net
greater capacity for price growth – so I think the predicted rises have to be seen within that context. But overall I think it paints a positive picture. “Farmland historically has acted as a good hedge against inflation and in the continuing low interest environment it has increased appeal as an asset class in a mixed portfolio. “More recently its new value as a tangible store of authentic carbon and important environmental credentials has only added to its investor appeal, and we see no reason for this to change. “Demand for farms with a strong amenity or lifestyle appeal is also expected to remain as a result of the pandemic’s long lasting impact on working practices.” Across Great Britain as a whole average values for all land types rose by 6.2 per cent in the 12 months to the end of December 2021 – spurred by restricted supply and continued interest from traditional sources of farmland buyers along with newer environmental interests. Fred said prices were expected to hold firm this year with demand still predicted to outweigh supply. “The ongoing rise in input costs and the phasing out of direct payments may well lead to some under diversified businesses leaving the industry, but we’re not expecting to see a flood of land come to the market,” he continued. “The government’s lump sum exit scheme – designed to assist farmers in England with retirement – has also been met with a lukewarm response, suggesting that supply levels are unlikely to recover to those seen historically in the short to medium term. “As a result prices should stay strong. We anticipate that real values for poorer quality grassland will climb as the ability for pasture land to provide valuable carbon and water management services is increasing its demand over other land types. “Also woodland planting projects for carbon offsets are targeting grassland, seeking sites which do not have any limiting factors for tree planting. “For prime arable land, commodity prices in the short term look set to hold and an increasing interest in energy crops and renewables may continue to support profit from production and consolidation of the most productive businesses will drive competition for the best land.”
