Macvere Land Rights
Land rights for utility infrastructure.
Every substation needs a lease. Every cable needs an easement. Until the land rights complete, the connection cannot be energised - and on most schemes, land rights are the last thing anyone thinks about and the first thing to delay energisation.
Macvere Land Rights exists to prevent that. We prepare HMLR compliant legal plans, secure easements and substation land rights, and manage complete land rights transactions for electricity connections. We work for network operators, IDNOs, ICPs, utility contractors and their solicitors.

Read moreWhere engineering meets law
Land rights work fails when lawyers and engineers do not speak each other's language. A plan drawn without network knowledge gets rejected by the DNO. A deed drafted without site knowledge grants the wrong rights. Macvere Land Rights combines utility engineering with legal management, so documents are right first time and transactions keep moving.
Built for volume, priced per deliverable
Connection businesses need land rights handled the same way every time: fixed scope, known turnaround, clean documents. We run defined service levels on standard legal plans and invoice against clear per-item scopes. Ask us for the current fee schedule for your organisation.
FAQs
Who uses Macvere Land Rights?
IDNOs and ICPs who need legal plans and land rights completed at volume. Developers who need substation leases and easements to close out a connection. Law firms who want the technical side of a utility transaction managed by people who understand networks.
Are you a law firm?
No. We provide land rights consultancy and legal management services, and we work alongside your solicitor - instructing, coordinating and keeping the transaction moving. Where a solicitor is needed, we manage them on your behalf.
Do you only cover electricity?
Electricity is the core, with water, wastewater and gas consents handled on the same basis. Utility advice for a development scheme sits with Macvere Utility Consultants, a separate Macvere business.
