The word wayleave has reminded me of a recent but irrelevant tale. My daughter's mate bought a fairly new house (maybe 5 years old) then moved abroad, so have let it out.
It has some sort of electricity pylon in front of it, it could be actually on their land, I don't know.
Some no-win no-fee outfit contacted them and asked if they'd ever had any money for it. They hadn't, and approved the company to pursue it for them.
They just got a cheque for something like £13k.
I'm surprised that on a recently built estate all that kind of stuff wasn't dealt with at erection time.
