Macvere Land Rights
Connection Ready: land rights managed end to end.
On most connection schemes, nobody owns the land rights transaction. The solicitor waits for instructions. Documents wait with the landowner. The operator chases by email. Months pass, and energisation slips for the want of a signature.
Connection Ready fixes the ownership problem. Macvere Land Rights manages the complete land rights transaction for a connection scheme - from instruction through to completion - and everyone involved can see exactly where it stands, live, in the Macvere Insight Portal.
What the service includes
The full transaction, managed
We meet the DNO's requirements on your behalf, including the TOI and LIF, and instruct your solicitor where required. Requirements to complete are confirmed with the solicitor and tracked to closure. One accountable party, start to finish.
The Insight Portal
The portal is the instruction form and the live record. It is updated in real time as the transaction moves, and the solicitor copies our dedicated updates inbox on all correspondence, so the portal always shows the current position.
Everyone who needs visibility gets it
Portal access extends to your customer - the ICP, the end client or the landowner. When an action sits with the landowner or end client, the portal prompts them by email and follows up until they respond. That follow-up is often the difference between a six-week completion and a six-month one.
Tailored to how you work
The portal is customised per client - for example, information visible to you but hidden from your customer. It also records time saved against a comparable land rights transaction, so the value of the service can be measured.
Service options
- Managed service, 11kV schemes - the complete transaction, run by us.
- Managed service, LV schemes - the same service, scaled to LV connections.
- Portal access - your team self-manages the transaction using the portal and its tracking.
Each covers a single title transaction, with additional titles scoped separately. Ask for the current fee schedule for your organisation.
FAQs
Who is Connection Ready for?
IDNOs first - it was built to get adopted networks energised without land rights delay. It works equally for ICPs and developers who carry the land rights obligation on a connection.
Do you replace our solicitor?
No. Your solicitor completes the legal work. We instruct and coordinate them, track requirements and drive the transaction. The legal advice stays with your solicitor. We keep the transaction moving.
What does the portal actually change?
Two things. Every open action has an owner and is followed up. And no status meeting is needed, because the current position is on screen for every party you choose to give access.
