[QUOTE="flowerpot, post: 7699845, member: 142783"] I had one this morning. It wasn't just for a solar farm, they would come out and have a look to see what might be the best option, maybe battery storage. I guess that they telephoned us as we have pylons going across our ground. In some fields its like a cat's cradle of criss-cross lines of varying power lines. Fortunately not near the house or spoiling our view from the kitchen! They obviously think that with that Global Warming report that renewable energy is going to be even more in demand. I'm not sure that it is an actual scam, it sounded more like a sort of planning consultant firm, who looks to get the best price from builders for developing the land, depending on the site and how many houses can be constructed, for example. Thinks - why go through them rather than direct, and cut out the middle man. But I suppose they have the contacts and know who to approach and should be working for you - but getting their cut obviously. Some land agents are doing that around here for barn conversions - will do all the planning applications for free, but get a guaranteed cut of the selling price at the end. I told him his timing wasn't great, with the combine just setting out! But with all these kinds of arrangements, whether planning or solar, you need an experienced solicitor to look over the contracts to make sure you are not being ripped off. [/QUOTE]
