C & D Rural

Positioned uniquely on the Scotland/England border, we offer a rare advantage to our clients. We possess a deep understanding of the distinct legal and governance structures on both sides of the border, making us the go-to consultancy for cross-border property transactions and land management.

Whether you are a landowner in Cumbria or a farmer in the Scottish Borders, we provide a comprehensive service that bridges the gap between traditional professional advice and modern property marketing.

Established in 1988, our history is closely tied to the rural community. Our main office is located at Townfoot, Longtown, neighbouring one of Europe’s busiest auction marts. This connection provides us with an incredible local footfall and a finger on the pulse of the agricultural market.

In 2001, we merged with Thomson Roddick & Laurie, further strengthening our expertise and expanding our reach across the North of England and South of Scotland.

We don't just sell property; we help you manage it for the long term. Our professional services cover the entire lifecycle of land ownership. We advise on compulsory purchase and compensation, navigate complex landlord and tenant negotiations, and provide expert guidance on subsidies, grants, and compliance.

For those looking toward the future, our specialists handle forestry and woodland management, including planting schemes and grant applications, as well as diversification and renewables consultancy to help your estate thrive in a changing economy.
