IHTM25105 - Valuing the partnership interest: Agricultural land tenanted by a partnership

A partnership’s tenancy of agricultural land may have a substantial capital value, but quite often this value is not accounted for at all in the accounts. A clue to its existence will be a deduction for rent in the profit and loss account.

You will need to obtain full details of the tenancy from the parties. These should include:

• the name of the landlord
• when the tenancy was granted
• what was the original rent
• what is the rent being paid now
• the length of the tenancy.

You should obtain a copy of any written agreement.

If a value is required you should follow the guidance at ( IHTM24162).
