A firm of Leicestershire Chartered Surveyors is celebrating their selection for the National Farmers' Union (NFU) newly formed Rural Surveyor Panel. Andrew Granger & Co, who have three branches across Leicestershire, are one of only ten companies appointed by the NFU for the East Midlands after a rigorous selection procedure.

Successful applicants were required to demonstrate a high level of expertise and experience to support the needs of farming members. To secure a place on the panel, Andrew Granger & Co had to provide evidence of their agricultural specialism and quality of advice to meet the strict criteria. 

Commenting on their appointment, Rupert Harrison, Head of Rural and Managing Partner at Andrew Granger & Co said "I am delighted that our expertise in this area has been recognised by the NFU. We already have excellent links and relationships within the rural community and look forward providing professional advice and support to local NFU members."

Members of the panel will be available to offer guidance and support to farmers on a range of issues, including rent reviews, tenancy succession and advice on lettings. Those eligible for support must be from the East Midlands region which covers Leicestershire, Rutland, Northamptonshire, Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire.

The rural department at Andrew Granger & Co acts on behalf of agricultural clients across the East Midlands, including owner occupier farmers, tenant farmers, family trusts and charities. The team includes chartered surveyors and agricultural valuers and is based at the firm's Loughborough offices.
