No building project is driven by certainty, but the best ones are always supported by knowledge and insights.

At Savills we have built a trusted reputation for selling and buying rural properties and land. Our marketing expertise is extensive, deeply-embedded and national in scope. 

For many years, the Savills name has been synonymous with sporting estates in the UK. We know how to assess the capabilities of a shoot, its potential and its compatibility to the current market. Our shoot experts can guide buyers on areas of improvement and growth, or ensure sellers can maximise the value of their assets prior to a sale. For those looking to invest in this kind of property, we bring years of expertise to bear, to ensure accurately benchmarked costings and plans are put in place.

Our specialist rural agency team has spent many years delivering results for private individuals, farmers, investors and institutions alike, and has become a natural port of call for anyone looking to buy or sell a sporting, residential or agricultural estate.

From finding the right country property, to negotiations and through to exchange and completion, our country house experts support clients every step of the way. Alongside core competencies, we combine specialist country property knowledge with an understanding of how high-end buyers live.

Our national team of 320 provides a comprehensive estate management service, from ad hoc advice to full management. We work closely with owners of all sizes of estates, whether they comprise 50 acres or thousands of acres, helping to efficiently manage their business.

Our hands-on consultants provide a bespoke farm management service to all types of clients across the UK.

Trees require ongoing management throughout their lifecycle, from planting through to felling. We combine market-leading forestry expertise with independent advice on how to increase timber quality and value, identify new opportunities and maximise returns for our clients.

Working across the UK, our sporting experts provide management advice and guidance on all aspects of shooting, fishing and deer stalking. We deal with every kind of sporting estate, from grouse moors to low ground and wild bird shoots, and from fishing to stalking. In each case we customise our advice and services to the specific needs of landowners, estate employees, professionals and consultants, to maximise the potential of all types of sporting property, in terms of capital, income or total returns.
