Auction Mart of the Year
THIS award identifies and acknowledges the driven and progressive auction marts which continue to provide an exemplary service to both their vendors and buyers during challenging times, going above and beyond to help customers get the most from their businesses.
Nominations can be made by the marts themselves, farmers or other customers. A judging panel will select the finalists, and Farmers Guardian readers will be asked to vote (in paper and online) based on a summary about each of them.
The final winner will be selected by a combination of public votes, the strength of nominations, overall summary and the opinion of our panel of judges.
New Auctioneer of the Year
THIS award identifies and rewards trainees and auctioneers who have qualified within five years, based on skills, attitude and contribution to the agricultural community. We will reward someone who epitomises an innovative, progressive new entrant auctioneer who has a positive impact and is putting something back into the market.
Auction Cafe of the Year
WE are looking for the UK’s premier auction cafe – the centre of mart life. It does not matter whether it is small or large, we are looking for a cafe which is a hub for the mart and produces quality food, using British products at a reasonable price.
Whether it is a top cuppa or a great lunch, we are seeking nominations to identify and reward the UK’s best market cafe. The winner will be selected by a combination of public votes and our judging panel.
We will be rewarding the cafe which is doing a fantastic job serving its customers with high-quality food and drinks and creating a real mart community hub.
More Than a Mart

THIS year, in celebration of 10 years of the Marts The Heart Awards the More Than a Mart Award will go to a market which has demonstrated that it is much more than just a place to sell livestock. This might be because of the additional services it provides at the mart, such as health clinics, raising money for charity, sharing its facilities with other sectors of the community, hosting events which benefit both farmers and the wider public, or how the staff go the extra mile. Nominations can be made by the marts themselves; farmers or other customers and the winner will be selected by our judging panel.

Each winner will feature in an in-depth profile in print and online, and will receive a prestigious, cast iron commemorative plaque. Thursday, October 16

SUBJECT TO AN
Property Landscape Looking at the upcoming Renters’ Rights Bill
What do landlords need to know?
It is commonplace for farmers to rent out surplus residential property on their land, with many agricultural businesses using these lettings to supplement revenue and help stabilise an otherwise fluctuating income stream. Such lettings include unused farmhouses, converted barns and former workers’ cottages.
We also come across many farmers who own property ‘in the village’, with a longer term view on retirement, or parties who inherit residential property from relatives and intend to rent it until a decision on long-term management takes place. While this can provide a valuable revenue stream, it also has legal obligations, tax implications and tenant management responsibilities.
The current talking point within the private rented sector revolves around the Renters’ Rights Bill, which aims to give greater rights to private renters (the tenant). The legislation was originally suggested to be in place by summer 2025, however it is now looking to be late 2025.
place to prevent the re-letting or re-marketing of the property for 12 months following the service of a Possession Notice on the above grounds. Fines of up to £7,000 are suggested for non-compliance. Another change will be the tenant’s right to request a pet. Currently, it is down to the individual landlord’s discretion. However, as part of the Bill, landlords will have to consider each pet request, and if they refuse there will need to a be a reasonable justification. If the tenant feels a refusal is unfair, they will have the right to challenge the decision.
The Laurels is a 4 bed bungalow built approximately 25 years ago of traditional brick and tile roof. It sits in a plot of roughly 0.2 hectares that also contains a single room annex, garaging and former kennels (more recently used as pony stabling). The property is presented in excellent condition having been recently redecorated.
A well-presented Five-bedroom detached house with a large garden, double garage, rear patio, parking and paddock to front, located in a sought-after countryside location.
SUBJECT TO AN AGRICULTURAL OCCUPANCY CONDITION GUIDE PRICE: £1,325,000 (Ref: C393)
As discussions around the Bill and what it means for landlords, tenants and the private rented sector in general become more commonplace, I would urge all landlords to consider how the changes will affect them.
The most well-known element is the abolishment of Section 21 – nofault evictions. A Section 21 currently allows a landlord to regain possession of the property without giving a reason with two months written notice. From the date the Bill is implemented, landlords will need to rely on the new and reformed grounds for possession and the notice periods associated with each ground.
Such grounds introduced or updated by the Bill include Ground 1, where the landlord requires the property back as their main accommodation or for their family, and Ground 1A, where the landlord intends to sell the property. Both can only be used if the tenancy is more than 12 months old and they will have four-month notice periods.
There will also be restrictions in
We come across pet requests frequently, as many tenants living in rural properties request dogs. This can be problematic for some farming clients where the let property is near farmyards or agricultural land, with livestock in close proximity. Time will tell whether this will be a suitable justification for refusal, and each case will likely need to be judged on its merits – but surely common sense will prevail here.
Lesser-known parts of the Bill include the creation of a Private Rented Sector Database, with landlords legally required to register themselves and their properties on the database; failure to do so could result in fines alongside the inability to obtain a Possession Order. Rent increases will be limited by law to once a year, and the minimum notice period for a rent review will be two months.
