Investment Appraisal & Valuation

We will work with you to develop your investment objectives and use these to identify properties which best suit your needs.

Our forestry team can provide an appraisal of your existing forestry portfolio or assist in the appraisal and acquisition of new properties. We maintain a close watch on the forest property market and can advise on the current market and investment values, prepare cash flow projections based on future harvesting and management models, whilst also looking at wider opportunities to add value as well as identifying potential risks.

During acquisition we will provide advice to you and your solicitors throughout the process and at key stages in the development of the investment. 

Whatever your objectives for owning woodland, we can bring due diligence to the process which will secure a property which meets your long term needs.

The forest property market has seen phenomenal growth in recent years with average forest capital values increasing during 2019 by 24% and during 2020 by 39%.  This growth showed no signs of slowing down in 2021 buoyed up by continuing strong timber prices and a desire to add forestry investments to portfolios to enhance green credentials and strengthen ESG messaging.
