Wayleaves cover the rights to install or maintain utilities such as electricity cables, gas pipelines or broadband over or under land, often requiring negotiated compensation or rent. A solicitor in this area drafts, negotiates and finalises wayleave agreements, checks existing easements, negotiates with landowners, and coordinates notices, surveys and registrations. They may also advise on compensation, public consultation requirements and any liability for damage to the surface or crops during installation or maintenance.

What a solicitor handles in these matters

Wayleaves involve detailed provisions on access, compensation, duration, renewal, interference with other rights, and remedies for breach. The solicitor handles the drafting of the agreement, negotiates terms with the landowner or occupier, reviews any related easements, and ensures the rights are properly registered and enforceable. They also liaise with utility companies and landowners to resolve conflicts and ensure compliance with relevant statutory regimes, such as planning and rights of way requirements.

Tagged solicitor Charles Dibley

Toby has been an incredible help during what was a troublesome house sale as part of a deceased estate. He was always prompt in replying and explaining things fully, and kept battling for us with a problem involving the land registry and a spurious entry on the title deed. I found him efficient, friendly, and approachable and very tenacious! We are also using Charlie for my decease brother’s estate, whom I also have nothing but praise for. I have found Charlie an immense help and comfort during a very difficult year. It was not an easy estate to handle as there was no Will, and many strands to be resolved. Charlie is also handling my son’s divorce.
