New Letting
An operator wants to install equipment on your property.
If a telecoms operator is looking to install equipment on your land or building, securing the right lease from the outset is essential. The terms you agree to now will impact your property for years to come, affecting rental income, site access, and your ability to redevelop or sell. You may even be in a position to refuse altogether.
​
We specialise in negotiating telecoms leases that protect landlords’ interests while securing the best financial terms. Whether you’ve been approached by an operator or are proactively considering a new letting, we ensure you get the right deal. Our fees are typically covered by the operator, meaning expert advice comes at no cost to you.

What You Need To Know
What we can do for you
We’ll start by understanding your situation—whether you’ve been approached by an operator, are considering leasing land for telecoms, or want to ensure you get the best terms. Next, we’ll assess the proposed lease, explaining key terms such as rent, operator rights, and long-term implications. We’ll explore your options, including whether you can negotiate better terms or refuse the lease entirely. If you decide to proceed, we’ll negotiate on your behalf, ensuring fair rent, minimal disruption, and protection for your property. We’ll liaise with your solicitor to finalise the lease, securing the best possible outcome for you.
How that benefits you
Working with us ensures you fully understand the lease terms and how telecoms legislation impacts your property. We handle the entire process, saving you from complex negotiations and persistent follow-ups from operators. With years of experience in telecoms lettings, we’ll secure the most favourable terms, ensuring you get the right rental income while protecting your rights. You’ll always have the final say on any agreement. If needed, we can recommend a solicitor and collaborate with them to ensure your lease is watertight. From start to finish, we work to safeguard your interests.
What it will cost you
In most cases, the telecoms operator is responsible for covering your reasonable professional fees for negotiating a new lease. Before we begin, we ensure the operator commits to covering our fees. Once this is agreed, we handle all negotiations, with our fees paid directly by the operator upon completion. If the initial fee commitment is insufficient, we’ll negotiate an increase from the operator. We won’t proceed with additional work without their agreement or your explicit consent.
