Getting the best from your land in 2019

8th January 2019 by Accounting for Energy

If you are a landowner it’s important to make sure you are getting an accurate return for your investment, and with this year set to be one of many unknowns as we try and make sense of life outside of the EU, it could be the perfect time to work with specialist auditors to ensure you are still getting the best deal on your land.

The government’s draft environment bill published last month, which promises to create a body which will legally hold ministers to account for their actions regarding the environment, is an attempt to reduce the risks of Brexit, but there is still no way of truly knowing how any of this will impact renewable energy and land rent payments.

We are able to make a robust assessment of your past payments and amend any inconsistencies that may have been missed by the most experienced property, legal or internal accounts team. This is because we have expert knowledge of lease agreements, renewable energy, power stations, market prices, current legislation and performance trends.

When you work with us we can:

Perform periodic land rent reviews to make sure you are receiving the correct returns.
Provide a detailed analysis of the site’s past performance and its contribution to the local environment.
Assist your site operator to correct any underpayments and ensure all payments are brought up-to-date.
Provide an in-depth report to explain our findings and give you a greater appreciation of how well the site is performing.

Our audit will give you peace of mind, and you could receive a back-payment, and have an improved rental agreement going forward.

If you want to get your new year off to a great start, then why not get in touch with us and see how we can help you. You have nothing to lose.

To check whether your land rent payments are accurate, get in touch with our specialists auditors today.

Environmental protection for landowners at heart of ‘Green Brexit’ pledge

By Accounting for Energy – (5 min read)
Publication of the Agriculture Bill on 12 September 2018 provided the first major insight into how the government plans to deliver on its promise of a “Green Brexit”. The long-awaited policy, together with the forthcoming Environment Bill – the first dedicated Environment Act since 1995 – will help shape the UK’s agriculture and energy sectors after leaving the European Union and Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) on 29 March 2019.

“In every instance Accounting for Energy have identified and recovered shortfalls in rent for my clients. Not only do the landowners receive back payments but they are also keen to show developers that they are being held to account.”

Chris Thyer MRICS FAAV Land Agent, GSC Grays
“We don’t have comparable leases in renewable energy meaning there are few examples to draw from, so it’s always good to have checks and balances in place. We would recommend Accounting for Energy for their diligence.”

Ali Walker Property Co-ordinator, Bath and Wells Diocese, Church of England
“The information provided by the turbine owner seemed to be comprehensive. The issue comes with knowing if all the data is complete and the audit was able to identify areas that we should have been receiving royalties on.”

Ben Ardern Financial Controller, Dewlay Cheesemakers
“I worked with Travis on a set of arbitral proceedings to recover unpaid royalties on behalf of the landowners of a large renewable energy site. I was very inspired by his passion for his industry and his tireless commitment to getting the best results.”

Sarah Bishop, Commercial Disputes Solicitor
“Travis is the go-to person for renewable energy landowner royalty payments. He gets into the details of a case, and is very tenacious in identifying and recovering any monies owed to landowners.”

Grant Jones, Chartered accountant, solicitor and practicing arbitrator
“I would recommend Accounting for Energy because they are clearly experts in this area, and they were good to work with. It was an easy decision to get them on board because we really didn’t have the expertise or the time to be trawling through the lease and power purchase agreement.”

Nick Kenyon, CEO, Dewlay Cheesemakers
