We've been approached to rent one of our fields by a building company who need to build a compound next to an existing site. Any ideas on £?
Cheers

Get a land agent onto it
You’d be surprised how much ££££ they can get

And make sure their is a very heavy deposit to ensure it is returned as you would like. You will be shocked at what a builder considers a nicely finished garden, 1 inch of topsoil hiding the rubbish from construction

£50,000 an acre pa in advance.
How desperate are they and what alternatives have they got?
Remember it will need planning and you might end up with a big bill to clear the site afterwards.

Certainly get it in advance, lately in the local paper the council complaining about builders not paying their dues or leaving roads in a state not fit to be adopted by the council.

Think of a price and x4. We don't appreciate how much people value a bit of land/access.
How big a site do they want?

1000 an acre a week
You get to keep fence panels, stone and left over materials.
Site to be returned to you soiled up to same standard as original, with original materials stored on site.
Site to be drained to your satisfaction once restored as soil structure will be shot.
You able to visit to view at any time in correct high viz etc.

Make sure your not liable fir any contamination after they leave. Builders are not careful what the leave behind. I’d want a major size damage deposit for clean up to original condition. All legally documented with no loop holes.

As others have said, get an agent onto it (and ask developers to pay fees). Make sure you get an exit date with a hefty penalty clause for each week they over-run. Don't forget to exclude it from your BPS claim.

It would be quite handy if the compound was to stay after x number of years when they're finished, as has happened to a similar site about a mile away.....

Big job down the A1 has a 30m x 10m shed on that I assume will be staying after the new junction is finished.
10 acre compound next to A59.

My first thoughts and has happened around here. If it is next to a site there is every possibility it will be useful to the next site, or even become the next site.

No idea on £? A shed would be a nice bonus!

Just so long as the shed is empty and not full of toxic waste when they leave …

Appoint land agent, the contracting company will pay the fee. Insist on at least partial payment up front, I’ve asked for at least 50% of the total projected cost over the project duration in the past. Contractor to cover all costs; legal, agent, reinstatement, re-fencing, your time.
If they’re digging and using your stone/aggregate to bottom the compound it’s £6/t minimum (this will be subject to aggregate tax).
These things are a bit of a hassle but can be a very nice little windfall, just make sure everything’s signed and sealed, construction companies are known to go bust on a fairly regular basis, hence the percentage fee up front.
