Chalmers Asset Review

The Chalmers Asset Review is our unique, strategic review of a farm or estate's property, land and uses. Our Asset Review combines our land use mapping service [link to mapping] with professional property assessment, development appraisal and agricultural evaluation. Funding opportunities through the Rural Development Contracts (RDCs), which form part of the Scottish Rural Development Programme, are also be taken into account.

Case Studies
“Chalmers has a good reputation. The rural economy is in flux so sound advice is more important than it has been for some time.”
Client
East Lothian estates, can be assessed by Chalmers Asset Review.

As the countryside goes through a dramatic period of change, there are significant benefits in taking stock and assessing whether land uses are optimized. The Asset Review includes identifying features, mapping the farm or estate and assessing current uses including:
  • Geography and geology
  • Current uses (land/buildings)
  • Condition
  • Markets and alternative uses
More information is also available in the Mapping section.

  • Plans: boundaries, uses and valuations.
  • Land, Soils and Minerals: current state and appraisal of opportunities.
  • Markets: availability and grants.
  • Developments: new and existing buildings.
  • Cropping: recording applications/proposals.
  • Customer Services: any other issues and challenges.
This information can be used for an RDC application where required. The aim is to analyse opportunities and plan for the future to optimize return on assets.
