A Wayleave agreement should be reached before telecommunications, supply or fibre optic providers install their equipment and infrastructure on private land or new developments, but what does this process entail? So we`ve answered five frequently asked questions about Wayleaves that I hope will help explain these sometimes misunderstood legal agreements. Is there a difference between a wayleave and an easement? Like Wayleaves, an easement or dead of grant provider is the legal right to access and wait for their cabling and infrastructure on private land. An easement requires only a one-time payment to ensure permanent access, while a Wayleave is usually a temporary agreement. Landowners can request that a previously agreed Wayleave be renegotiated and amended into an easement agreement, but not the other way around. Wayleave agreements are particularly important because they apply not only to the landowner who took them over, but to their “beneficiaries”, i.e. to all those who have been buying and owning the property since the conclusion of the contract. Therefore, if you buy a property with a Wayleave agreement, you can also acquire the agreement and, therefore, give the energy company the right to use your country to power the country. You should therefore seek legal advice from your developer if you believe that the property you are buying is subject to a Wayleave agreement. What is a Wayleave? A wayleave is a legally binding agreement between a landowner and a telecommunications, supply or fiber optic provider, which allows access to the installation and then maintenance or management of network cables and equipment above or outside the territory. Developer customers often ask me, “What is a roadmap?” Often, landowners and developers come up against this term when dealing with distribution companies that cross their country.

A wayleave is an agreement between a land owner or user and a third party, which allows that third party to do something to access, for example, land to perform work for compensation. As a general rule, they could be used to allow power companies to install cables or pipes under, on or over the country, with the right of access for maintenance and repair. Compensation may take the form of a lump sum, but it is usually an annual payment. To change your payment data or communicate to us, fill out this form. You only have to do this if you already have a wayleave agreement with us and it is stipulated that we pay you for it.
