At Staines Law we have extensive experience of advising farmers and landowners in relation to option and lease agreements for solar and wind farms.
We have negotiated agreements with a range of developers and as a result have a very good understanding of what current commercial rates are.
We can also advise on the impact that a lease agreement will have on your farm enterprise and ensure that the lease provides the best protection for you and the continued farm enterprise.
We will arrange a consultation with you and, if requested, the group of local landowners who are involved.
It is essential that you ensure you get the best legal and taxation advice. We work closely with a number of specialist farm tax advisers who can assist in providing the appropriate tax advice in relation to income tax and especially gift and inheritance arising from having renewables developments on your land.
We have spoken regularly on the issues surrounding renewables. Please see figure link to Teagasc and IFAC webinar and our link to our Solar Energy Association webinar and link to relevant articles.
For more information on solar and wind please send your details below and we will send on our brochure setting out the reasons to be carefully considered before you consider signing an optional lease agreement. We will also provide information as to what you need to look for in an optional lease agreement.
