92% of the UK is now covered by at least a 4G mobile signal. This is in part due to the Electronic Communications Code, legislation that requires telecoms providers to have unfettered access to commercial buildings, so they can build a comms tower on the roof. Wherever a telecoms company wants to build, they can. A rental agreement needs to be met by both parties, but the prices offered by the network providers are often staggeringly low. The government claims that the rules exist to help speed up the rollout of high-speed mobile and internet coverage across the country, but in the process it’s raised concerns and issues for land owners. In this episode, Fisher German Talks Telecoms Leases in Commercial Property, examining the impact on property holders that the legislation has, and how they can ensure they get the best deal from the rental agreements.
Our host this week is Declan Oddy, Surveyor at Fisher German. Declan is joined by Charlotte Brasher from Trowers & Hamlins Solicitors, to explore the new legislation. Charlotte is a property litigation solicitor who is experienced in advising on a range of landlord and tenant issues in relation to commercial property and development sites, including dilapidations, break notices, opposed lease renewals and telecoms issues. Charlotte also advises on all aspects of agricultural property disputes, including agricultural tenancies and occupational rights, rights of way and estate management .
