Did what they said they would. Got an independent professional to assess the amount we were offered and they said it was fair. You know you're paying for them to do all the leg work and as part of it... See more

Wayleave Claim

Wayleave Claim
The process and charges were clearly explained.
The cheque arrived after several weeks - I was advised it would take some time.
I then paid Powerline their agreed commission which was acknowledged quickly.
All in all an small amount of money that was a bonus.

I am most probably one of the most sceptical person you could meet with regards to companies like this offering their services. At first I thought it was probably a scam, or that the charges would end up being completely different to those stated.
I decided to go ahead with them, but pull out before signing anything if I thought that it was dubious.
I have now received a cheque for a decent amount, and alls I had to do was sign the official documentation from the power distributor for our region. Couldn’t have been simpler, and I can now recommend the Powerline Advisory Group as doing exactly as they promised. First class and highly recommended.

Excellent service

Powerline Advisory Group gave us a good advice and excellent service throughout our claim to SSE in regard to underground cabling in our garden.
I strongly recommend this Advisory group.

Excellent service from Jack at Powerline. He took a genuine interest in our situation and provided excellent advice as well as showing great patience in dealing with SSE's prevarication and attempts to reject the claim. Jack helped overcome these issues and brought the claim to a successful conclusion = much appreciated.

Hassle free. Received a payment from SSE without questions. Not speedy but that was down to SSE slow system.

Excellent service and communications

I was contacted by another company into wayleave agreement on my property but with large fees I researched and found this company who performed the same task but cheaper rates. The process involved straight forward and simple forms. I received very good communications to advise of their progress, offer options and through to final settlement. It did take a little while to complete, not due to the company's faulty, but was a nice little unexpected bonus in the end. Would certainly recommend this company.

No big sign posts

So a company may alert you to your wayleave and seek a percentage for doing so. If you were unaware of it then it's up to you if you go with it. There are company's that get your money and don't take a percentage both of the above get paid by the power company for bundling us all up I belive you can deal direct however not very forth comming. No matter which you go with the amount they pay is standard and can not be enhanced. Power line dispute this claim maintaining that they have on numerous occasions negotiated bigger settlements. Time to see the numbers first how many claims per annum second just how many enhanced claims then the percentage of that enhancement. I think they will fall silent.

Reply from The Powerline Advisory Group

Hi Mr Wray, we are sorry that you have not been entirely satisfied with the process of your wayleave agreement. We advertise our prices clearly on the website and, at 15% + VAT, we have one of the lowest commissions in the market. We also mention online to contact us with regards to any going offers as, on occasion, we are able to act without a commission charge for underground low voltage claims. You are correct to say that it is possible to go direct to the Network Operator, however, The Powerline Advisory Group are here to act for homeowners that would like to use the experience of an agent to oversee the claim. Many of the settlement rates are not Standard and are open to negotiation. On numerous occasions The Powerline Advisory Group have negotiated much higher settlements for homeowners than the amount that they achieved going directly.
