Full membership is for everyone who is farming land under an agricultural tenancy or other form of agreement and does not own the land. It is also ideal for those who are looking for opportunities to farm tenanted or other non-owned agricultural land. Full members of the TFA benefit from the complete range of services offered by the TFA including confidential one-to-one advice from our team of chartered rural surveyors who can assist them with their individual queries at no additional cost. This expert advice can include rent reviews, repairs, improvements, tenancy succession, notices to quit, notices to remedy and a host of other issues such as how to object to a proposed solar farm. Our team not only advise on tenancies and farm business related matters, but they can also assist with any issue which impacts the running of and future of a farm business and they can also give support when dealing with individual farming concerns. This might lead to members utilising the exclusively developed TFA Plus service where our expert team can act on specific matters on our members’ behalf. Full members also have access to specially negotiated discounts and affiliations, as well as online member-only information and resources. Additionally, full members can contribute relevant topics to enable the TFA to continue lobbying government, statutory bodies or other institutions on key issues. Full members can also become involved in the governance of the Association to ensure that it continues to meet the needs of the landlord tenant sector in agriculture. There are two membership options available for Full Members depending on how soon you need advice when joining
Professional Associate
£299/ per annum
Individuals involved in the tenanted sector of agriculture including surveyors, solicitors, accountants and consultants can join the TFA on an individual basis as Professional Associates
- Gain access to one-to-one specialist advice
Individuals involved in the tenanted sector of agriculture including surveyors, solicitors, accountants and consultants can join the TFA on an individual basis as Professional Associates and gain access to one-to-one specialist advice on tenancies and other issues which may impact their own professional activities. Professional Associates are kept up to speed with important developments within the landlord tenant sector and have an opportunity to discuss matters of professional interest with the TFA’s expert team of rural surveyors.
