The development of the Code was led by an Expert Panel, convened and facilitated by Welsh Government.
This Panel bought together representatives from across the industry including National Farmers Union Cymru (NFU Cymru), Farmers Union of Wales (FUW), Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), Central Association of Agricultural Valuers (CAAV), YFC Wales, Agricultural Law Association (ALA), Country Land and Business Association (CLA) and the Tenant Farmers Association Cymru (TFA Cymru) ensuring a broad and balanced range of perspectives from across the tenanted sector.
The new Code provides guidance on the standards of behaviour expected from all landlords and tenants as well as those providing professional advice in connection with agricultural tenancy matters.
Drawing on existing codes and best practice guides, the Code reflects the specific needs and context of Wales, and aims to foster transparency, fairness and mutual responsibility between tenants, landlords, their representatives and professional advisers in Wales.
