HARDCASTLE Rural Surveyors was founded in May 2021 by Andrew Hardcastle . Andrew , a qualified Chartered Surveyor and Agricultural Valuer , is an experienced Land Agent who has advised farmers , landowners , rural businesses and property owners across the region for over 15 years .

Passionate about agriculture and the rural economy Andrew has a clear vision that the company will provide a single point of contact to clients in order to build longstanding relationships based on trust . By really getting to know clients and their businesses we can assist farmers and property owners in a wide range of situations to help them

to grow and succeed with their objectives .

Following a successful first couple of months in business Hardcastle Rural Surveyors welcomed Katie Fall ( Assistant Rural Surveyor ) and Victoria Hardcastle ( Admin Assistant ) in August in order to allow us to continue to offer a high level of customer service as the

company continues to grow its client base .

Katie is from a well-known farming family near Bedale and is working towards her professional qualifications . Working closely with Andrew , she has expert knowledge of current grant and support schemes and will be advising clients across the region . Victoria has joined the firm following a career in the education sector , she will provide support across the firm and looks forward to meeting our clients .

Hardcastle Rural Surveyors operate across Yorkshire to provide a range of specialist property and farm business advice to a wide range of rural businesses , land and property owners . A key service we offer is the provision of advice on grant and support schemes including the new ELMS and Productivity Grants . We feel that this is a particularly key issue for our clients as they seek to adapt to

the changes to the agricultural support system .

We are also able to support clients with contract and share farming structures to allow two businesses to work together , this can form a crucial part of retirement planning and as part of wide business changes . Other services include land and farm sales , tenancy advice , planning and diversification as well as compensation and compulsory purchase schemes . As a RICS Registered Valuer and a Fellow of the Central Association of Agricultural Valuers Association and regulated by the RICS firm we are also able to offer professional valuations & taxation planning advice .

As a local company with our roots firmly in Yorkshire we look forward to serving the rural community for many years to come and helping to make agriculture a thriving and forward-thinking sector of the economy .
