Wayleaves Agreement

A Wayleaves agreement is a right of way granted by a landowner, generally in exchange for payment and typically for purposes such as the erection of telegraph wires or laying of pipes. Companies must have Wayleaves for work they want to carry out on private land. This makes Wayleave Agreements a fundamental part of our lives and our society.

To ensure the Freeholder’s position is protected and to maintain control over their property, a Wayleave agreement should be entered into for each building.

When is a Wayleave Agreement required?

A Wayleaves agreement may be required when a tenant takes a tenancy to a property, be it residential or commercial, and wishes to install an internet connection through the common parts to serve a tenanted property. A Wayleave will also be required when a Network Provider wishes to install their network into a Landlord’s building.

If the route of the network is through land owned by somebody else then a Wayleave is required.

Most, if not all, newly refurbished buildings or new developments of residential or commercial units
may have fibre optic cables laid to each unit. However, older buildings may not have this infrastructure in place.
