A highly respected partnership known for our strong personal connections throughout the UK and overseas, and our numerous links with private and commercially owned estates, Langley-Taylor is frequently the first port of call for anyone considering the sale or purchase of a prime country estate or farm. We have established an authoritative presence not just nationally, but also internationally in our knowledgeable, tactful and discreet dealings with rural land and property matters. Why? Because as this specialist market shifts and settles we are continually observing the ebb and flow of the market, and it is this unique insight combined with years of experience that has helped build our reputation as a distinguished and highly reputable firm. As RICS registered valuers we are often asked to make probate and bank valuations and to act for buyers and sellers of residential properties as well as agricultural land assets; since we are also Chartered Surveyors in general practice, we are able to take on a broad remit for large-scale transactions: an important advantage when it comes to complex property deals.

From forestry to food production, the UK and Ireland’s land-based industries are home to hundreds of different jobs and careers. And we should know – we’ve been helping to develop their workforce for over 40 years now. Lantra are the Sector Skills Council for Land based. We work closely with industry bodies, employers, governments and educators to provide quality training, career guidance and partnership opportunities, giving employers and learners the skills they need to work safely and productively, while getting ready to meet the challenges of the future. As a registered charity, we put the needs of learners and employers before profit. We have dedicated teams in England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales, all providing expert local guidance backed by years of industry experience, and who flex to suit the needs of the devolved nations. There is often overlap in what we do, and as you might expect, we regularly share ideas and best practice. In Scotland, our focus is promoting the sector as an attractive and rewarding place to work, supporting the development of a skilled and diverse workforce, and working to ensure that policy and practice meet the needs of the sector. We have an experienced and broad-based board (including one of our Industry Champions!), who all help to ensure our work stays focussed – helping our sector to meet its skills needs. We are always looking for new partners to engage with, so please do get in touch if you would like to support our careers work, or if you would like to find out more about training options that might suit your business.
