Utilities

Utility works, infrastructure projects and third-party rights over land can have a major impact on farming operations and rural property.

Liddle & Co advises farmers, landowners and rural businesses on utility matters, compulsory purchase, compensation claims, wayleaves, easements and access arrangements.

We understand the disruption that can be caused by pipelines, cables, power lines, telecoms equipment, road schemes, rail projects and other infrastructure works.

Our role is to help clients understand their rights, negotiate fair terms and secure appropriate compensation where land, crops, access, drainage, buildings or business operations are affected.

Liddle & Co provides practical support from the first approach by a utility company or acquiring authority through to negotiation, agreement and settlement. We can liaise with agents, contractors, solicitors and other advisers to ensure matters are handled professionally and efficiently.

Our advice is straightforward and commercially focused. We aim to reduce the burden on clients, protect their position and help achieve a fair outcome when third-party interests affect rural land or property.
