Gaining access to land and sites for utility companies to undertake construction work and maintenance of apparatus requires the granting of easements and wayleaves. These agreements constitute an important and sometimes difficult negotiation process and if they are not handled properly can result in significant delay and financial loss.

Technical and persuasive skills ensure that agreement can be reached between both parties. Our priority is to ensure that our clients are fully protected with appropriate legal and valuation procedures to avoid mistakes and delays.

Our Easement and Wayleave services include:

• Project planning and consultancy
• Property referencing and pre-entry
• Easement and Wayleave valuations
• Compensation valuations and assessments
• Legal notices and applications
• Lands tribunal and hearings
• Compulsory purchase
• Asset management

BK can take full control of both legal procedures and public/claimant interface and negotiations.

We have systemised procedures in place and use our project management tool SpeedWay for regular updates and KPI reporting to clients when monitoring progress on large numbers of claims and hearings.
