EV Charging & Solar Wayleave Consent Advice

EV charging and solar wayleave consent advice in Ireland helps homeowners, apartment owners, landlords and OMCs get the legal permissions right for installing an EV charge point or solar panels. Consent may be needed where the installation affects common areas, shared infrastructure, a landlord or a management company, and a wayleave or licence may be needed over someone else’s property.

The price shown is the full professional fee for the service as described, and any third-party or State fees are listed separately where they apply. If your matter needs more than this service covers, a solicitor would explain the options before any further work is done.

• Preparation or review of the wayleave, licence or consent documentation

Frequently asked questions

How much does EV charging or solar consent advice cost?

This page is a free guide — nothing on it is for sale. Solicitors set their own fees for this work and must give you a written costs estimate (a section 150 letter) before starting. Get quotes through the Law Society of Ireland’s Find a Solicitor directory.

Do I need consent for an EV charger in an apartment?

Often, yes, where it affects common areas or shared electrical infrastructure. Lease and OMC rules must be checked.

What is a wayleave?

A right allowing equipment, such as cables, to be installed and maintained over someone else’s property.
