Make the most of your land

Make the most of your land Whether you are thinking of buying a farm, estate, woodland or country home or running an equestrian or other rural business you will want to make the most of your land. As a landowner you need to know what your rights and responsibilities are for everything that happens on your land. This is where the CLA is essential.

Our in-house advisory service offers CLA members free and unlimited professional advice on every aspect of land ownership – matters of law, taxation, environment, planning, land use and rural economy. As a member, the CLA should always be your first port of call for any questions or concerns that you may have, however simple or complex.  Member queries include:

  • Can I change a right of way on my land and how do I do it?
  • Who is the best person to advise me on the cost of turning old barns into offices?
  • How can I resolve disputes with my neighbours?
  • Who can help with drafting and understanding contracts?
  • Should I be inspecting all my trees along the roadsides?

All CLA members benefit from our lobbying work at European, national and regional level, access to extensive networking opportunities and can make savings on insurance, finance and much more through our Member Services programme.

The Advisory Services are made available to members on the basis that members' rights to compensation and the liability (if any) of CLA and its officers and/or its staff advisers, are restricted in the following ways. In the event of any advice given by any CLA staff adviser being given negligently or otherwise being incorrect no liability whatsoever is accepted by the CLA or its officers or by its staff advisers concerned
