Do I qualify?
Do I Qualify for a Pylon Wayleave Payment?
You may qualify for a pylon wayleave payment if:
✅ You Own the Land – You must be the legal owner of the land where the electricity infrastructure (pylons, poles, or underground cables) is situated.
✅ You Are Not Already Receiving a Payment – If you or a previous landowner have not agreed to a one-off lump sum or compensation settlement, you may be entitled to ongoing wayleave payments.
✅ The Infrastructure Is on Private Land – Payments typically apply to private land, such as farmland, estates, and residential property, rather than public highways or common land.
✅ No Permanent Easement Exists – If an easement has been granted (a permanent legal right for the infrastructure to remain), you may not qualify for a wayleave payment.
If you're unsure whether you qualify, our experts can provide a free review of your situation and help you determine your entitlement.
What is the payment for?
A pylon wayleave payment is compensation for the right granted to an electricity company to place and maintain pylons, poles, or underground cables on privately owned land.
This payment covers:
✅ Landowner Consent – The electricity company is paying for the ongoing right to access and use your land for their infrastructure.
✅ Land Disruption – The presence of pylons or cables may affect how you use your land, such as limiting building developments or agricultural activities.
✅ Visual Impact – Overhead pylons can impact the aesthetics of your property, potentially affecting land value.
✅ Access Rights – Engineers may need to enter your land for maintenance, repairs, or upgrades, and wayleave payments compensate for this inconvenience.

How Much Will I Get?
The compensation you may receive depends on the type of electrical equipment on your property and its estimated impact on property value.
-
Permanent easements for pylons, high-voltage electricity lines, and wooden pole lines typically result in settlements between £1,000 and £20,000—sometimes even higher.
-
Low-voltage electricity line claims usually range from £100 to £1,000, depending on the amount of equipment present.
How Long Does It Take?
The duration of a claim depends on its type and various external factors.
-
Wayleave claims typically take 6 to 12 months from instruction to completion.
-
Easement claims generally take 12 to 24 months, though timelines can be affected by factors such as network operators' budget constraints or backlogs from high claim volumes.
