Above everything, Rural is about people. It was started to help people - by making professional advice accessible, affordable, economic and something which was willing sought, rather than feared.

We take pride in serving private clients with a service that we feel is unmatched by our competitors; personal and bespoke, professional yet creative. Nothing will ever be too much trouble, and if it needs doing, then it will be done.

We don't accept anything less than perfect.

We don't like using the word "can't".

And we don't do anything by halves.

Instruct Rural, and we promise our main aim is to help you, not just advise you. We look forward to hearing from you soon!

Tom Hyde

Managing Director

Welcome to Rural, and thank you for your interest in us.

We are Land Agents, Chartered Surveyors, Consultants and Valuers, based in the East of England.

We operate throughout the UK, offering outstanding professional advice to both private and institutional clients.

We are member of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, The Central Association of Agricultural Valuers and opt to be regulated as a firm by RICS.

You may know exactly what you want, or you may just want a chat - we'd love to hear from you, so please do get in touch.

TOM HYDE BSc (Hons) MRICS MRAU

Land Agent, Chartered Surveyor and Consultant.

RICS Registered Valuer.

The Rural brand really stems from my upbringing - I'm a farmer's son, and therefore have always had a lifelong love-affair with the countryside, and all things rural.

I obtained my degree from the Royal Agricultural University in Cirencester, and am a fully qualified Land Agent and Chartered Surveyor. After graduating, I spent nearly four years as a Resident Agent, looking after a large country Estate in West Sussex, and everything that goes with it.

I love properties and I love businesses. I love giving professional advice. However it's never any of these things which gets me out of bed in the morning - it's the people. The clients, contractors, fellow agents, and everyone else I come across which is the reason why I do what I do.

I look forward to providing you with the best professional advice - advice that is pragmatic, tailored, personal but also economic and outstanding value for money.

Tom.
