From the Auction Ring to Private Treaty Sales
We are widely known for our active presence in the market. We handle the sale and purchase of farms, land, and "grass keep" with a strategy tailored to the specific property. Our expertise extends beyond the soil to the assets upon it; we are specialists in Livestock and Machinery Auctions, including major collective sales of implements and farmyard sundries.
"Our mission is to provide straightforward, professional, and independent advice that helps West Country landowners thrive across generations."
Why Choose Andrew Lane Ltd?
We believe that rural property requires more than just a standard survey—it requires a specialist who knows the difference between a good acre and a great one. Because we are independent, our clients receive personal attention from Andrew himself, backed by his decades of committee-level involvement with the Central Association of Agricultural Valuers.
From securing insurance valuations to planning your long-term estate strategy, we are here to ensure your rural assets are managed with the highest professional standards.
