Farm Business Consultancy

Lambert & Foster have been actively involved with the agricultural community in Kent and Sussex for over 100 years, advising farming and rural business clients on a wide range of issues.

Lambert & Foster specialise in the management of rural and agricultural estates. As RICS Registered Valuers and members of the Central Association of Agricultural Valuers, we ensure the highest standards in quality of advice.

We help optimise asset values for farms and rural businesses by providing a full service management and professional advice service for farmers, land owners, rural and commercial businesses.

We work on numerous farm business consultancy projects across the south east. Our rural professionals team have extensive knowledge and experience in this field so are able to provide a broad and in-depth understanding of the industry.

Our strategic advice and business planning help our clients to consider their options, reduce costs, and increase profit lines. We work closely with our clients to develop long-term business viability, with many of our clients having worked with us for generations.

Our services include providing strategic estate planning or carrying our rent collection and book keeping for landlords. We can also assist with providing information on rural or agricultural property and estate management issues. This can include advice on property inheritance issues, diversification opportunities for estates and the current codes of practice and legislation for property and estate management.
