Moving livestock to satisfy a Writ is now a complex business but if that’s all the debtor has, Sherforce would have no option but to remove livestock.

Livestock have to be sold with "passports" that acknowledge the pedigree of the animal along with veterinary records. 

Sherforce prides itself on being able to move anything and in executing this Writ, has to follow procedures in relation to agricultural credit searches to check if the goods form the security for the farmer's business. 

It's all in a day's work for Sherforce and account managers can help clients weigh up the pros and cons of taking this course of action.

In executing this Writ, Sherforce has to follow procedures in relation to agricultural credit searches to check to see if the goods form the security for the farmer’s business. Agricultural searches are carried out by completing the Land Registry form AC6 and submitting this to the following address:-

The Agricultural Credits Department
Plumer House
Tailyour Road
Crownhill
Plymouth PL6 5HY

A fee will be payable (currently £0.50) made payable to the Land Registry.

Alternatively, if you have a Land Registry credit account you can telephone the Land Registry on 0845 308 4545 and request the search that way.

Finally, commercial resellers of search information such as Jordans will also carry out a search on your behalf. They can be contacted via their website at www.jordansproperty.co.uk

We do hear stories about how impossible it is to move livestock – but for Sherforce its all in a day’s work – and account managers can help clients weigh up the pros and cons of taking this course of action.
