Land Lease UpfrontStart an enquiry

UK renewable energy leases

Your land lease pays out over decades. You can have it today.

If your land carries a wind, solar, hydro, battery storage or energy-from-waste lease, you can bring forward some or all of that future rental income as a single upfront payment — without selling your land.

From enquiry to payment

Full breakdown
01

Tell us about your lease

A short enquiry: your land, technology, project stage, and what you're trying to achieve.

02

We review the lease

Your existing lease terms, indexation and project details are assessed — nothing about your land ownership changes.

03

You receive a valuation

An indicative upfront figure, based on your rent, term, and the technology on your land.

04

You decide how much to release

All of it, some of it, or none of it. There's no obligation to capitalise the whole lease.

Why now

Long-dated leases carry risks that only grow with time

A 25–40 year lease is inherently exposed to changes in tax policy, land reform, and business rates — long after the original terms were agreed. Recent changes affecting Scottish landowners and shifts in UK tax policy are two live examples.

Tax treatment

Capital and income are taxed very differently

Rental income is typically taxed annually as income. A capital payment is typically taxed once, and usually at a materially lower rate — which compounds significantly over a multi-decade lease.

Whatever's generating on your land

Every stage of development, across all the common renewable technologies on UK land.

Common questions

Does this mean selling my land?

No. Your land ownership doesn't change. You're bringing forward some or all of the future rental income from your existing lease — not the freehold itself.

Can I capitalise only part of my rent?

Yes. Landowners can release as much or as little of their rental income as they choose, and retain the rest as ongoing rent.

What if my project is still in planning?

Leases can often be capitalised at any stage — in development, under construction, or already operational.

How is this treated for tax?

Capital payments are typically taxed differently from annual rental income. Every landowner's position is different, so this isn't a substitute for advice from your accountant or tax adviser.
