Land Onshore
In this fast-paced sector we offer a dynamic, industry-leading service to support delivery of onshore renewables including wind, solar and hydrogen projects.
We have our ears to the ground and love digging into the detail so that we can provide the very best service to our onshore clients.
Why Work with Us
We have a highly experienced and talented team of leading land agents, GIS analysts and project managers allowing us to assemble a bespoke team with the right skills, contacts and cultural fit for each project.
Our approach starts with top-class data from our Land Information and GIS team and moves to our experienced land team to get the deal done on the ground, all supported by strategic project management throughout.
The Land Referencing team use their deep understanding of land registers to unpick complex or unclear land ownership for clients and use innovative mapping and modelling tools to support any scale of project.
Clients benefit from our extensive list of contacts across Scotland and the UK, and proactive and respectful approach to engagement with landowners, tenants and communities to ensure long-term success for each project.
Working solely for developers, we offer you a partner you can trust.
“Adaptability is one our most important skills. You need to see where your clients are coming from. Each client is different, so we tailor our approach for each project to do it well.”
