When a licence agreement grants access or use of part of your land to another party such as for infrastructure, utilities, or temporary occupation compensation may be payable. At Sydney Property Valuers, we provide expert valuation advice to assess the financial impact of licence agreements and ensure landowners receive fair remuneration.
Unlike a lease, a licence does not grant exclusive possession but still allows access or use for a defined purpose. Whether you’re negotiating a new agreement or seeking a review of an existing one, we help determine the appropriate compensation by considering market conditions, the extent of access, duration, impact on land use, and legal precedent.
Strata and community-title matters may also require our Common Property Valuations & Transfers service.
No. A licence gives permission to use land without granting exclusive possession. It's more flexible, but still can impact land use and may warrant compensation.
In some cases (e.g. infrastructure projects), compensation may still be payable, especially if access affects the value or use of your land.
