Electric Pylon wayleave property compensation

[GreenerGrass]

Anyone been through this? I understand 95% of the metal pylon towers have been claimed on, so must be lot who have? I am looking at converting the 132kv tower and it's cables from wayleave to easement. And in return capitalising the income stream and more importantly compensating for negative impact on (residential) property value.

It's about 160m from the house, but more excitingly we've planning for a further 4 houses all of which will be affected mostly to a greater extent.

I get letters all time from specialist compensation firms, but they all want a big % of any claim, when I understand reasonable agent fees covered by utilities company.

Anyone have any experience or guidance for a % impact on property, or their own experience. The process seems easy, and I'm happy to do myself or local agent, but I just have no idea what a realistic or fair figure for impact is. And would hate to sell ourselves short but at the same time loathed to lose 20% for what doesn't appear to be a lot of work, other than them having a database of comparables (and a fleet of fancy cars).

Cheeky little bump, would love to know anyone else experience or any advise on this, thanks!

We are not a claims company but have a specialist within the firm who deals with these and I am aware that our clients sometimes end up paying no commission, because we put any surveyors fee paid by the electricity company towards the amount that we charge our clients and do not take payment from both sides. Please feel free to contact Harrison Riddle at Berrys directly on 07525 905826 or email [email protected] or send me your details and I will gladly ask him to give you a call for an initial chat.
