Relevant facts and circumstances: A property which adjoins one of your properties came onto the market unexpectedly and as you were seeking to increase your farm holding in one location rather than having farm holdings in multiple locations, you acquired it on XX/XX/XXXX. You then made attempts to sell your property Z within 12 months of XX/XX/XXXX but were unable to do so due to several unforseen issues. You sold Z on XX/XX/XXXX.
