Sale of farms keeps estate agency busy
	THE exodus from London and the South-East to the Westcountry continues at a pace, despite adverse press reports on the state of the money and property markets.

Farms in high demand

STRUTT & Parker's farm agency office in Exeter is having a fantastic run, concluding sales under competition from buyers locally, nationally and from abroad.

	Makes horse sense
	STAGS have recently received instructions to market Trevesson Farm at Gorran Haven, Cornwall, for sale by private treaty, inviting offers in the region of £725,000 for the equestrian themed site.

Auctions attract high levels of interest

WITH the bright, clear and crisp February weather having pushed the thought of a gloomy January to a distant memory, Stags have started their auction season with a number of collective auctions planned during March by the farms, estates and land department alongside their Honiton and Exeter residential offices.

Shortage of farms maintains values

THERE seems to be a lack of farms appearing on the market across the region which has continued the land market retaining its strength with values rising.

Look back at boom

AS we enter the twilight months of 2007 it seems an opportune time to reflect on what was a remarkable first six months of the year within the farmland market.
