Asset Review

The Chalmers Asset Review is our unique, strategic review of all aspects of a farm or an estate's property, land and uses. Our Asset Review combines our land use mapping service with professional property assessment, development appraisal and agricultural evaluation.

As farming goes through a dramatic period of change, there are significant benefits in taking stock and assessing whether land uses are optimized. Features are identified, mapped and their current uses assessed. They include reference to the following areas:

• Geography & Geology
• Current Uses (Land/Buildings)
• Condition
• Markets & Alternative Uses

Thereafter, the process is akin to a shopping expedition at a supermarket, filling up from the following aisles:

• 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.
• Check Out: cash or credit card!

Information covering these areas enable a working Asset Review to be carried out. This can be used for a Whole Farm Assessment for subsequent grant assistance where required. The aim is to analyse opportunities and help plan for the future to optimize return on assets.
