Does subleasing a plot involve more risk?
In our case not, as we pay the lease upfront for 12 years. Our clients pay the sublease upfront for 10 years. The trees are registered to our clients. In a worst case scenario, the land might change ownership, but since the lease and sublease are paid in full for the whole 10 year term, our clients can still harvest their trees and the proceeds still go to them. The new owner of the land cannot interfere with this according to German law.
