Compensation 

Rural property is in great demand for a wide variety of non agricultural uses for which land owners and occupiers are entitled to proper compensation. Such uses include:

• Road schemes
• Pipelines
• Electricity and telecom cables
• Telecom masts
• Renewable energy structures such as wind turbines

We pride ourselves on our innovative approach to maximising payments for those affected and have generated considerable experience and an excellent repuation for achieving results in this area of work

Our clients range from individuals to farming businesses and other land and property owners

From the outset of a project/scheme we will deal with such matters as:-

• Check the party has the rights or otherwise to enter on to the land
• Negotiate and agree compensation and/or appropriate payments
• Undertake pre-entry records of conditions were appropriate
• Liaise with solicitors if an easement or other agreement needs to be entered into to ensure interests are fully protected
• Negotiate compensation for losses flowing during construction
• Negotiate site compounds and other arrangements where appropriate

Telecom masts

Telecom masts are becoming increasingly common on rural property.  Carver Knowles are experienced in dealing with all aspects of the telecom mast process including negotiating heads of terms from the first initial approach by the telecom operator to carrying out rent reviews to negotiating revised terms where the operator wishes to put extra equipment on the mast

Our team have a good working knowledge on the Electricity and Telecoms Act and, where appropriate, will work with legal advisers to ensure interests are protected and payments/compensation maximised

Road schemes

In recent years the number of road schemes being built has slowed, but across the regions Carver Knowles have had involvement in a variety of projects

Attention to detail is fundamental throughout a scheme to ensure minimum disruption to the quality of life and the running of a business before, during and after construction/installation

Costs/Fees

It is usual that the costs of representing your interests are met by the party requiring access to the land
