Larder Fees

[Hatch]

I'm no legal expert, I would check if verbal agreements made during a lease can be changed to your detriment.

Verbal agreements hold legal standing but are hard to prove/enforce.

A path I would encourage you to look down, is how long you have been relying upon that particular agreement for and how consistently you have been dealing under said terms (within your previously signed lease). If it's not something that has been explicitly written down into the contract but has been relied upon consistently since the conception of the contract then it could formulate something known as an 'implied term'.

Established implied terms, providing they are not legally 'unfair', are legally enforceable and are known as 'conditions'. Worth having a Google about here if you're thinking about terminating the lease early and this comes at a cost to you.

Hi Hatch,

Thank you for your reply and worthy notes. We have decided to move on. We retain a couple of forests from a different source so we have areas to go at. Interestingly, where we now stay has ground and they want to sit down and have a chat about things with us. They also said that they are aware that the 'Manager' of the ground we had puled from us is finding it difficult to attract clients.

Sometimes its best to move on. Who knows it may all come back to us at a later date.

I'd have thought £120 per year for quad storage would be more apt. As for the larder, which isn't even chilled, I would have thought nothing, especially since your actually doing a job for him.
The chiller we use in Scotland costs about £2/day to run, so they're not that hungry.
Now if he were to put a brand new chiller in situ, with winch, prep room etc, I can see him wanting a bit extra, but still nowhere near the price he has quoted you.

Firstly get yourself lined up with another estate, then robustly progress on how he came across the charges and insurance, sharing it all with the landowner’s in person - I’m guessing but he has a mate he wants on the estate - it happens that way believe you me, landowners probably don’t even know the half of it - good luck

I have had access to a larder for the last 2 years connected to the estate on the ground we stalk. A new 'estate manager' has ben appointed and he has now decided that on top of what we pay for the on site accomadation we must pay a larder fee and a cost for the garaging of the ATV. We leave the ATV on site in an old garage, nothing fancy. he wants to charge £120-00 per month for the use of the garage. The estate has numerous out buildings so I would not have thought space is an issue.

The proposed cost for larder is £25 per 'small' deer ( I assume he means roe) and £50-00 per red. We only stay 3 days per month and the larder is old school, just a light and lifting rail, cold running water, nothing modern or fancy. No chiller unit or fridge. We always ensure that the place is washed down and bleach the floor and surfaces.

Is anyone else paying fees for storing ATVs or know about fees being charged for hanging deer and if so what is the going rate?

Thanks

I would say "hey hungry nose, get te fcuk".

Does he works for Savilles?? Standard practice for some and an easy way to look good on paper

I pay £10 per week to store are caravan under cover so the garage fee sounds pretty excessive
