Agricultural Occupancy Conditions
Dwellings subject to Agricultural Occupancy Conditions (Ag-Tags / AOC's / Ag Ties) can depress the open market value of a dwelling by, as a rule of thumb in the region of 25% - 35% - if they are sellable at all. They also remove the ability of a landlord to let them out on the open market which can hamper a potentially significant source of income.
In a lot of instances however, the reason for an initial restriction may no longer apply. Though Local Authorities can be reticent to remove them, whether their justification is still extant or not, they can in certain circumstances be lifted, allowing a dwelling to achieve its full potential.
Opportunities to remove restrictive planning conditions are always worthy of investigation and there are a number of areas which can be assessed to ascertain the potential viability of an application to the Local Authority for the removal of a condition.
We can have an initial confidential discussion with you to assess the nature of the restricted dwelling and to see whether an immediate opportunity exists to determine whether an application may be viable, or whether a more strategic approach may be required.
