Forests and woodlands are diverse and the valuation of a forest is equally complicated. Our professionals are experts in the field and can provide valuations for individual properties or large portfolios across the UK, always bearing in mind the intricate variables of the industry or local markets.

These variables include the type or mix of trees in the forest, the impact of timber prices, the changes in land value over time, as well as changes driven by investment sentiment. 

Benefiting forest investors, land owners and stakeholders at all levels

Our team’s valuations of forestry and woodland are used for a variety of purposes, such as capital taxation, sales and purchases, loan security, renewable energy, compulsory purchase and development, to name a few, and benefit investors and stakeholders at all levels, as well as land owners with woodland interests.

All our members are senior professionals in the forestry or rural valuation teams, with at least 20 years of experience in the industry. We can also draw on the unparalleled market intelligence and access to annual research publications from the Savills rural agency and research teams, ensuring our fully integrated service offers a range of complementary services if required.
