If OTOH it is only farmland and what is being sold is one or more fields

your valuer may not need even to leave his office to make his valuation.

Only needs to be registered with the RPA if subsidies are being
claimed.

You know a farmer who can't be bothered to claim subsidies?

Judging from complaints about the RPA I wouldn't be too sure about the
accuracy of their mapping either!

RPA maps are based on large scale OS mapping. OS maps may not be up to
date but they are generally very accurate.
