Agricultural Land Valuation

Farmland is valued on what it can grow, where it sits, and what it might one day become. Here is how we approach it.

• Working since 1995
• Government approved valuer
• ISO 9001 certified

• Trusted by 800 plus chartered accountants, CPAs and lawyers

One question decides everything

Before anything else, we establish whether the land is genuinely agricultural in the eyes of the tax law, or whether it counts as a capital asset.

Why it matters so much: genuinely agricultural land in a rural area is often outside capital gains tax altogether. The same field, close enough to a town, is fully taxable. The test involves how far it is from a municipality and how big the nearby population is.

This single question can change a tax bill from nothing to a very large sum, so it is worth getting right before you sell rather than after. Ask us and we will tell you which side of the line your land falls on.

What we look at

• Soil and water. Irrigated land with a reliable source is worth far more than dry land
• Access. Whether a road actually reaches it, and how wide that road is
• Shape and size. A regular plot is easier to farm and easier to sell
• What is on it. Orchards, tube wells, boundary walls and farm buildings all add value
• What it could become. Land near a growing town carries hope value beyond its farming worth

Land near a growing city

Farmland on the edge of a city is rarely priced as farmland. Buyers are thinking about what happens when the city arrives.

We value it honestly on both bases. What it is worth as agricultural land today, and what the market is actually paying given its position. Where a land pooling or development policy applies, that goes into the report too, because it changes what the land can eventually be used for.

What we need

• Revenue records showing ownership and area
• The land map or measurement sketch
• Details of irrigation and any structures
• Access to walk the land
