Electricity pole in garden...is "rent" payable?
Hi, I am hoping someone can help as I have googled this but have come up with nothing that seems relevant.
I rent my home, in the garden there is an electricity pole. I have heard that rental for this may be payable from the electricity company, is this true or an urban myth??
How would I go about sorting this out should it be true?
Thank you for reading and hopefully helping!!

Not sure if you can claim it for a rental property but there is a Wayleave right, which I think you can apply for - if the pole doesn't carry your electricity.
My aunt used to get about £20 a year. Don't expect to retire from it! LOLcomping since august 2007, wins so far.....none! :rotfl:0 -
I thought it was a 1 off payment of £200 u got but not 100% sure0

If the pole SOLELY supplies power to your house then no wayleave is payable. It must also serve other people.
Not sure how much the electricity boards pay but BT gave me a one off payment of £154 for their pole on my land feeding 13 houses including mine.
Also since you rent, the payment will be to the landlord not you and he may have already claimed itThis is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0 -

If you rent the house, even if money is payable, surely the LL gets it!Breast Cancer 100 miles Oct 22 100/100miles

Yes if the annual rental is modest, the electricity company will "capitalise" it into a lump sum payment.
I get about 70 quid for half a dozen poles in a field.0
