Rural Consultancy & Valuation

At Clarke & Simpson, we offer comprehensive professional consultancy services to farmers, landowners, and rural businesses across Suffolk and beyond. Our team of expert consultants provides tailored advice on virtually every aspect of rural property management, ensuring clients receive the best possible guidance in an ever-evolving landscape.

We advise on financial planning for farmers in Suffolk and tax matters, working closely with government departments to navigate schemes such as Countryside Stewardship and the Basic Payment Scheme. Our expertise extends to compulsory purchase, telecommunication masts, agricultural tenancies, share farming, and a host of other matters that impact the modern farmer.

We are also at the forefront of renewable energy consultancy in Suffolk, assisting clients with the implementation of wind turbines, biomass heating systems, solar photovoltaic technology, battery storage and data storage. Our goal is to help clients make informed decisions that benefit their operations and contribute to sustainable practices.

In recent years, we have increasingly focused on strategic planning in Suffolk. We specialise in helping clients partner with the right developers - whether house builders or promoters - to maximise returns from their land in the shortest possible time. With the current emphasis on meeting the five-year land supply requirement, we have successfully guided clients to achieve remarkable returns within compressed time frames.

Furthermore, Clarke & Simpson offers Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) in Suffolk through mediation, led by Eleanor Havers, a RICS Accredited Mediator. Mediation is a confidential and voluntary process that provides an effective alternative to litigation. It is particularly useful for resolving issues such as boundary disputes, rights of way, ownership and occupation, will disputes, family break-ups, and partnership dissolutions. Our mediation services aim to facilitate productive discussions and help parties reach a mutually agreeable settlement without the need for court intervention.

Whether you need strategic consultancy, renewable energy advice, or expert mediation services, Clarke & Simpson is your trusted partner in navigating the complexities of rural property management in Suffolk. Our deep understanding of the rural landscape and commitment to client success ensure that you receive the highest level of support and guidance.
