[Northdowns Martin]

Is there a recognised formula used to evaluate annual lose of income where services have been installed over arable land?

We had New poles all across our land,only damaging a field of beans twice because the neighbour made them move them off his land on ours.Which was no problem except one is in the field the rest in the hedge because someone told them it was his field.Landagent got more money than I was going to ask.

Don't even think about ANY kind of negotiations with ANY services people - don't even spit out in their presence without a competent land agent there to hold your hand ! I do know this from past experience , and they will know many options , snags even , that you would never even have known or thought about . Best part ? They will have to pay your legitimate expenses for him/her - indeed they actually prefer to deal with a pro.

 

[SRRC]

As above, use an agent.

Its a private electric supply cable installed as a replacement on an existing easement. Neighbour installed at their expense in-between crops, just got to work out a soil damage compensation which from memory from previous installations is done on a reducing scale. Wanted to find out over how many years and at what annual percentage decrease. Is there a rough guide for amount per metre square of surface damaged?
