Location & Access - Lots 1, 2 & 3 are accessed off of Farlesthorpe Road, Farlesthorpe, and can be identified clearly by the For Sale boards which are located on the north and south of the public highway. The vendors shall allow a temporary access to Lot 1 over their retained land, however, the purchaser of Lot 1 shall require to create a new access within 6 months of completion.

Lot 5 is accessed off of the main A52, where the land abuts the highway, with the access being identified by a For Sale board in the gateway.

Tenure & Possession - The Freehold interest in the land is being sold with full Vacant Possession upon completion, however, completion of sale cannot take place on any of the 5 Lots until after the 31st December 2022 due to the Mid-Tier Stewardship Scheme.

Basic Payment Scheme, & Nvz - All of the land is registered with the Rural Payments Agency and the Basic Payment Scheme Entitlements are excluded from the sale.

The Vendors reserve the right to retain the 2022 Basic Payment Scheme claim.

A proportion of Lot 1 lies within a surface water Nitrogen Vulnerable Zone as a designated by the Environment Agency.

Stewardship Schemes - A large proportion of the land is currently entered into a Mid-Tier Stewardship Scheme (AB8, AB15, GS8 & GS9) which is to conclude on 31st December 2022, and therefore the land is under obligation until this date and any subsequent sale cannot conclude until this date has passed.

Should prospective purchasers require any further information surrounding the Stewardship Scheme, please contact Willsons, where further details and plans can be obtained.

Cross Compliance - The vendor will be responsible for cross compliance up to the date of completion.
The purchaser will take over the cross compliance obligations upon completion or early entry and will therefore indemnify the vendor for any breach of compliance which results in a penalty or reduction of the vendors payments from the Basic Payment Scheme until the end of the current calendar year.

Boundaries - All of the land is clearly demarcated by boundary hedges, ditches and fencing, with the exception of the north easterly corner of Lot 1 and southerly boundary of Lot 3 which are currently open but demarcated with red topped posts.
