Bertie Hoskyns-Abrahall
Spear’s Review
Withers’ Bertie Hoskyns-Abrahall, a partner in the firm’s private client and tax team, is an expert in the acquisition and sale of estates, country residences and farmland.
He also advises landowners on sporting, agricultural and ecological issues, including carbon capture schemes, forestry and biodiversity as well as succession planning. While subsidies for farming face an uncertain future and might affect the investment appetite of a certain profile of buyer, the fundamentals that make land a desirable asset class and the UK an attractive destination for international investment are still very much in evidence, he says.
‘I think we will see country houses coming back to the fore after several years.’
