Surveyor chosen by tenants

Apr 18 2008 by Sam Wood, The Journal

RICHARD BROWN, of Hexham & Northern Rural, has been appointed by the Tenant Farmers Association to its list of recommended professionals.

The invitation makes Richard the seventh chartered surveyor on its North East list, which covers Northumberland, County Durham and Yorkshire.

In addition to comprehensive experience in the tenanted sector while working for Hexham & Northern Rural, Mr Brown is from a family of tenant farmers near Alnwick.

He said: “Having previously been employed and been able to retain a number of clients in Yorkshire, I am in the fortunate position of being able to offer knowledge and experience of rental markets throughout the North East of England.”

With many tenant farmers currently facing a rent review for the first time in more than 10 years, the association strongly encourages them to seek professional advice to ensure their interests are protected. TFA members are entitled to a free consultation with a recommended professional.

TFA chief executive George Dunn said: “We want to ensure that our members have access to good quality, professional advice.”
