Telecommunications wayleave agreement

A landlord’s response

As technological advancement in telecommunications proceeds apace, so does the tenant’s requirement for the use of it. The installation of new or enhanced data transmission cabling to premises will invariably require a wayleave agreement to be signed. This agreement gives rights to the telecoms supplier to install and maintain its apparatus. Unless the business user has a freehold or a long leasehold interest in its premises, the telecoms supplier will invariably want the wayleave agreement to be provided by a person who has such an interest.
