Spring has sprung! Properties are moving!

Updated: Aug 18, 2022

Don’t forget a PY Agronomy pre-purchase property inspection It’s springtime! Typically a busy time in the property market and this year is no exception.

PY Agronomy is here to assist you with making the right decision to buy. A pre-purchase property inspection including recommendations and operational budget is a must. It will ensure that the property you are looking at can meet your business and production goals. And also that you can manage the financial commitment.

A few questions that purchasers need to consider:

1. What is its current profitability?

2. What is its potential?

3. What are the priority activities & the associated costs to ‘get it up and running’?

4. Do I have the labour, the right machinery and enough cash flow to manage this?

PY Agronomy can help you to answer these questions. We will provide you with operational reports, recommendations and budgets. These can be used by your accountant or financial institution.

WHAT DOES A PY AGRONOMY PRE-PURCHASE PROPERTY INSPECTION INCLUDE?

Our pre-purchase inspection includes:

  • An inspection of the land It’s suitability for purchaser’s farming and/or grazing goals. Will this land work for you in relation to budget, machinery capability, labour and time? How does it compare to others on the market?

  • The condition of the land What are the first steps that you would need to undertake in Year 1, 2 and 3 to correct, manage and maximise the existing land condition?

  • Identify potential problems Are there any existing problems or potential problems that may arise? And what is required to manage these?

  • Identify potential upsides What are the key benefits of this land, how can you get the most out of this land, and what is the pathway?

  • Identify development potential What is the developmental potential, what is its best-case scenario?

  • Assess current and potential carrying capacity

  • Cashflow analysis Once we understand your goals, we can generate various reports on different farming practices and scenarios to prove the best path forward. These operational budgets are used by your bank as part of the loans process.
