What You Need To Know
What we can do for you
We’ll start by understanding your situation—whether you’ve just been contacted about a wayleave, are unsure of your rights, or are concerned about the impact on your property. Next, we’ll assess the proposed agreement, including the route of the cables, potential disruption, and whether you have to grant access. We’ll explain your options and negotiate on your behalf to secure the best possible terms. If an agreement is necessary, we’ll handle all discussions with the operator’s agent, working to recover our fee from them where possible, while ensuring your property and interests are fully protected.
How that benefits you
When you work with us, you’ll gain a clear understanding of your rights and how telecoms legislation affects wayleave agreements. We’ll handle the entire process, saving you from the stress of dealing with operator agents and legal complexities. With our expertise, we’ll negotiate terms that protect your property, minimise disruption from cable installation, and secure fair compensation—ensuring you have the final say on any agreement. If you need legal support, we can connect you with a solicitor and work closely with them to safeguard your interests. From start to finish, we’re here to make the process as smooth as possible.
What it will cost you
Under the Code, the operator or wayleave provider is usually responsible for covering your reasonable professional fees for negotiating a wayleave agreement. Before we begin, we ensure a commitment from the operator to cover our fees. Once agreed, we manage the negotiations on your behalf, with our fees paid directly by the operator upon completion. If the initial commitment isn’t sufficient, we’ll negotiate an increase from the operator. We won’t proceed with any additional work without either their agreement or your explicit consent, ensuring you receive expert representation at no unexpected cost to you.
