Raising awareness of jobs in the rural sector

Raising awareness of jobs in the rural sector

Like most of the rural sector, rural land management and in particular rural surveying is experiencing a serious skills shortage.

As one of the UK’s leading firms of rural business specialists, Bell Ingram knows the issue all too well and is taking steps to promote the fantastic work on offer within the sector.

With five offices across Scotland the firm employs 30 professional staff involved in rural land management, forestry, renewables, utilities, valuations, and AMC work. For many the hugely varied role of a Land Agent is one of the main attractions to the job as it allows for a real mixture of experiences as well as office and on site working.

To help address the skills shortage Bell Ingram has developed strong connections with SRUC and regularly welcomes students from the Rural Business Management course on site for practical valuation experience.

A key piece of the puzzle, however, is promoting the sector to those who don’t know the work exists. To help, Bell Ingram has partnered with Countryside Learning Scotland, a charitable organisation founded to help promote rural jobs to all young people across the country, not just those from rural communities.

As part of this project a panel of young people from a cross section of the population were tasked with producing a video about rural work, interviewing those in the sector about their career pathway, which premiered at the Highland Show last year.

This year the firm is producing social media campaigns promoting the careers available within the sector and profiling the varied work and backgrounds of those in the business.   

Head of Rural Land Management at Bell Ingram, Rob Whitson, said: “At Bell Ingram we have a robust training programme in place that has successfully guided trainee Land Agents through their APC exams to become Chartered Rural Surveyors.

“But as an industry we must do better at promoting the brilliant work on offer within rural surveying. Whether that is developing stronger relationships with schools and universities or supporting national projects such as Countryside Learning Scotland, it is imperative we have the people with the right skills available to carry out the vital work we do to keep the rural economy thriving.” 

Bell Ingram is recruiting for a variety of positions across Scotland including Senior Chartered Surveyor in Beauly, Land Agent in Perth & Ayr, Forester in Aberdeen & Perth. For more information visit bellingram.co.uk/work-with-us/vacancies

    Optimism Returns to Farm Sales Market

    Optimism Returns to Farm Sales Market

    Our Head of Farm Sales, Malcolm Taylor looks at the current landscape and the opportunities to be had in this year’s farm sales market.

    Snapshot of the market

    As we look forward to the 2023 farm sales market it seems only right to take time to reflect on the year that has gone. We all remember the highs of the spring and early months of 2022, which seen interest from new buyers looking for forestry and natural capital opportunities pushing land way beyond traditional values and some exceptional outcomes for our clients.

    In 2023 the landscape looks different again. Stock levels remain low as rising interest rates, and the cost of money from the lending institutions increasing both act as deterrents. But there is no shortage of individuals looking to purchase good quality farmland.

    Following the disastrous minibudget, we are starting to see confidence from investors return, particularly from down south. This is fuelled by growing awareness around how precious land is as a resource, be it for food production, natural capital solutions, renewable energy sources and the contribution to the wellbeing economy. 

    An increase in the cost of inputs continues to impact the viability of some farming businesses and with a lack of any detail around Government grant schemes both sides of the border, it is inevitable that more farms will come to the market in 2023.  

    What can you expect for your farmland?

    Average arable land and the best pasture-land values have been relatively steady but there is still limited supply and continuing demand, especially where neighbours have the chance to buy. Private transactions remain popular particularly where speed and privacy are key, or if there’s likely to be a limited market.

    The value of grazing and hill land, which has been fuelled by unprecedented demand from investors looking for commercial tree planting is perhaps steadying a little but is further bolstered by interest in natural capital, including peatland restoration and rewilding projects, although values are very site specific making it difficult to apply averages.

    Price Per Acre

    Best Arable £8,000 – £15,000

    Commercial planting £5,000 – £8,000

    If you are thinking of putting your farmland on the market, our Head of Farm Sales, Malcolm Taylor will be pleased to discuss your requirement. Email malcol.taylor@bellingram.co.uk or call 01307 462516.

        Cautious positivity defines the Highland residential market

        Cautious positivity defines the Highland residential market

        Now that the dust has settled on the turbulent conditions we’ve seen in recent years, the Highland residential market appears to be transitioning towards a more normal level of activity in what is traditionally the busiest time of the year for sellers.

        Joanne Stennett, who leads the Bell Ingram’s agency team in Beauly, says: “Last year was a successful one for the Highland team with 92% of the 52 properties we sold achieving the asking price or more.

        “Although the fluctuating mortgage rates and the cost-of-living crisis will inevitably impact 2023’s market conditions, we are seeing plenty of requests for market appraisals, at a level similar to the same period in 2019’s more normal market.

        “There is definitely a feeling of cautious positivity, and it appears that buyers have more confidence and more choice albeit with revised budgets to accommodate higher mortgage rates.

        “Pricing, particularly at the upper end of the market, is definitely looking more realistic which would suggest that sellers are heeding their agents’ advice that over-priced property is not attracting interest in this under-supplied market.”

        New instructions in the traditionally popular Highland villages are still generating a lot of interest.

        Joanne adds: “Getting your presentation and marketing right is hugely important if you want your property to stand out. Once you have made the decision to sell with Bell Ingram, we will arrange for one of our professional photographers to showcase your property at its best. As well as producing a high quality brochure we offer a  number of online platforms to allow your property to be viewed by the right buyers.

        “With a wealth of experience in the local residential market, speak to me, or any member of the agency team at Bell Ingram for professional advice and expert guidance to selling your home.

        Currently for sale through Bell Ingram Highland are:

        Borlum House, Thurso, o/o £975,000 – An impressive, extensively refurbished country house dating from circa 1700, together with two recently completed self-catering cottages, excellent equestrian facilities and approximately 78 acres of land.

        Ceol Na Mara and Bayview, Benbecula, o/o £400,000 – Two-bedroom bungalow together with one-bedroom self-catering cottage set in the most amazing waterside location on the Island of Benbecula.

        South Boisdale, South Uist, o/o £325,000 – A rare opportunity to create a unique new home in an outstanding prime island location.

        Ty Cymro, Berneray, o/o £225,000 – B listed one-bedroom black house situated in a conservation area in a waterside location on the island of Berneray with stunning sea views.

        Lilac Cottage, Struy, Beauly, o/o £225,000 – Four-bedroom detached cottage set in a quiet location in the popular hamlet of Struy.

        1 Redwood Crescent, Inverness, o/o £400,000 – Spacious five-bedroom detached bungalow situated in the desirable area of Milton of Leys, Inverness.

          Quality of life drives Argyll & Bute property market

          Quality of life drives Argyll & Bute property market

          Bell Ingram Oban began the year with a healthy crop of prime residential listings across Argyll & Bute. Ranging from lifestyle opportunities, coastal cottages, farmhouses, lodges and villas, the quality of the portfolio indicates that the appetite for quality rural property remains strong in this area.

          Andrew Fuller, who leads the Bell Ingram’s agency team in Oban, says: “We are coming off the back of a successful year in 2022 which saw 58 properties sold with the majority achieving the asking price or more, including two notable sales of over £1 million.

          “Argyll & Bute is not immune from the scarcity of supply affecting other parts of the country, but our stock levels remain good at present, and I remain positive that we will see a steady increase in activity as the year progresses and the weather improves allowing viewings in the more remote island locations.

          “Oban is already seeing an encouraging number of requests for market appraisals and I’m hopeful these will convert into instructions. Despite the economic uncertainty, properties in this region are attracting a good deal of interest and selling reasonably quickly.”

          Coastal living has always held a powerful attraction for city dwellers looking for a change of pace, a sense of community and a chance to carve out their own patch of paradise.

          Andrew continues: “If you think that life in rural Scotland means enduring basic facilities and terrible weather, then it’s time to think again. As a resident of Mull myself, I can confirm that modern islanders enjoy excellent primary and secondary schools, reliable public transport and state-of-the-art medical centres. World class music and arts festivals regularly attract international names, and thanks to our incredible natural larder there is a tempting range of dining, drinking and shopping opportunities.”

          Currently for sale through Bell Ingram Oban are:

          Ardnamurchan Tearoom, Acharacle, o/o £495,000 – Thriving tearoom, visitor centre and a charming, detached two-bedroom owners’ residence.

          Achavaich, Connel, guide price £495,000 – Traditional farmhouse with converted barn, enefitting from far reaching views across the local countryside.

          Hawthorn House, Lismore, o/o £440,000 – Charming detached three-bedroom cottage, situated in a picturesque, rural setting on the Isle of Lismore.

          Harbour Vista, Tarbert, o/o £435,000 – Modern five-bedroom detached property sitting in an elevated position within the picturesque coastal village of Tarbert.

          Stirling Lodge (+ 3 others) Dalmally, o/o £395,000 – Beautifully presented wooden chalet, a popular property with views across Loch Awe.

          The Tassie, Tarbert, o/o £390,000 – Substantial detached five-bedroom villa, situated in a prominent seafront location.

          Tirlaggan House, Lismore, o/o £375,000 – Two-bedroom detached home with detached studio, set in a peaceful, rural location on the Isle of Lismore.

          Ash Cottage, Lismore, o/o £325,000 – Two-bedroom detached home on the Isle of Lismore, benefitting from open views across Loch Linnhe.

            Reasons to be Cheerful in Perth & Kinross

            Reasons to be cheerful

            While the Scottish residential housing market continues to be affected by a scarcity of stock, new data released by the online property portals give sellers some reasons to be cheerful.

            While buyer demand is down by a third compared to last year’s buoyant market, it’s up 4% on this time in 2019. Plus, there’s been a bigger than usual New Year bounce-back in activity, making a much more encouraging start to the year than many anticipated.

            Although average asking prices are still £8,720 lower than their peak in October 2022, after two months of falls, they have increased by 0.9% (+£3,301) this month. This is the biggest increase at this time of year since 2020.

            January 5th saw the number of people sending a request to an estate agent to value their home – the third largest on record. In total the first week of 2023 was the busiest for home valuation requests since August 2022.

            Carl Warden, Head of Estate Agency at Bell Ingram reports: “These national figures just released mirror the picture I’m seeing across Perth & Kinross. Although the supply of stock remains well below what I would have historically expected to see at this time of year, there’s no shortage of enquiries from potential sellers looking for market appraisals.

            “Looking ahead I see no reason for house values to decrease in any significant way, but I think we are unlikely to see the big offers over the asking price that characterised the market in 2022. Instead, I predict the market will recalibrate and we’ll see a more realistically priced market emerging.

            “Despite uncertainty over mortgage rates, inflation and the cost-of-living crisis, people are still looking to move, and if you get the price and presentation correct then there’s no reason why your property won’t sell.

            “And for buyers, it is not always the ones with the deepest pockets who are coming out on top. Those who have all their ducks in a row, and who are chain-free, are often more successful than the highest bidder in securing their dream home.

            “If you are looking to sell, then there is no time like the present. Using a prestigious agency such as Bell Ingram, with our property teams embedded in communities throughout the country, means we know the suitable buyers for your property and can secure a premium private deal if you so choose.

            “Because we ask our buyers the right questions, we always secure the best outcome for our clients. We would therefore recommend that anyone who is thinking of buying or selling their rural property waste no time to get in touch with our agents to discuss your needs.”

            If you are considering selling you home, farm or estate, our dedicated team is on hand to provide professional advice and expert guidance. Contact Carl Warden on 01738 621121 or email carl.warden@bellingram.co.uk

                    Scottish Hockey partnership goes from strength to strength

                    As proud property partners of Scottish Hockey, Bell Ingram’s Estate Agency team has been sponsoring the national women’s squad since 2022.

                    Our agents were delighted to be invited to the National Hockey Centre on Glasgow Green to see the new strips featuring the company logo on the collar and meet players across the age groups.

                    Joanne Stennett, head of Estate Agency at Bell Ingram’s Highland office, says: “There’s a real family atmosphere within the Scottish hockey community and that really appealed to us at Bell Ingram as we are a company which has a very similar ethos.

                    “Our partnership is a natural progression as we already have a close association with the sport through colleagues and family members playing hockey at various levels.

                    “It’s important to support women’s sport and our relationship with Scottish Hockey allows us to do this both at a national and grassroots level.

                    “We are looking forward to collaborating with Scottish Hockey and other partners on a number of exciting initiatives over the next few months so watch this space.”

                      Beware of Revised Non-Domestic Rate for Sporting and Renewables

                      Beware of Revised Non-Domestic Rate for Sporting and Renewables

                      Landowners and occupiers have begun to receive letters regarding the draft rateable values for non-domestic rates as a result of the next round of revaluations.

                      Commenting on non-domestic rates, Partner and Head of Valuations at Bell Ingram, Sarah Tyson says: “Non-domestic rates in Scotland are being reviewed from spring 2023 and landowners/ occupiers will be getting letters giving them the draft revised rateable values for sporting and fishing rights, plus renewable energy installations like hydro schemes, on farms, estates, and forestry properties.

                      “Unless basic facts are wrong, when one should contact the local Scottish Assessor’s office to update them as soon as possible, there is no further action required by owners/occupiers at present. Details of how to formally appeal any proposed changes in rateable values will be confirmed when final letters are sent out in March/April 2023 and Bell Ingram will be delighted to assist at that point.

                      “It is likely that small business rates relief thresholds will be reduced from 1st April and the appeal system changed, so it will be even more important to get professional advice the year to avoid being stuck with high rates bill.”
