Representing Landlords

Do You Need Help With a Phone Mast Lease?

Specialist agents representing landlords, negotiating Phone Mast lease renewals with Vodafone, EE, Hutchison 3G (Three), O2, Airwave Solutions, Arqiva, On Tower, Cornerstone, Cellnex, and Wireless Infrastructure Group (WIG).

A well-structured telecoms lease can protect the value of your property for decades.

If you own land or property with a Phone Mast, telecom tower, rooftop antenna, or other telecommunications equipment, you need expert representation – not operator agents protecting their own interests. We help landlords secure fair rents, strong contracts, and long-term protection.

Mobile Phone Mast leases and telecom agreements are complex and governed by both commercial law and the Electronic Communications Code (ECC) – the legal framework that affects rent, negotiation rights, and landlord protections. Without specialist advice, landlords commonly face under-market rent offers, unfavourable access & maintenance clauses, loss of redevelopment rights, confusing legal obligations under the ECC, and poor outcomes from operator-led negotiations.

About Our Firm

How We Help Landlords

We review your current agreement and any offers from operators, then explain your options in clear plain English.

πŸ“ž

We take over communication with the operator or their agents so you can focus on running your properties, not chasing rent increases or contract terms.

Using our extensive database of comparable UK deals, we negotiate strong terms and fair rents, even when facing big telecom operators.

✍️

From initial strategy to final contract execution, we work with you and your solicitor to ensure your interests are fully protected.

Landmark Case

Involved in the Most Significant Telecoms Case in UK History

To date, we are the first firm in the UK to have successfully fought back against operators and new legislation and kept rents at the same high levels. We were involved in the landmark case that established operators cannot use the new Code to bypass existing Landlord and Tenant Act 1954 protections, preventing significantly reduced terms from being imposed on landowners (see CTIL v Compton Beauchamp Estates [2022] UKSC 18). This is the most famous case in telecoms case law history, since the introduction of the Telecommunications Act 1984.

β€œMatt Restall has been managing the Compton Beauchamp Estates Phone Mast site portfolio since 2012. Matt was involved in instigating and advising on the famous court case Compton Beauchamp Estates v CTIL. We value the advice we have received from him over the last 12 years, and we would be happy to recommend his services to any landlords who have got Phone Mast sites.”

Common Questions

Answers to the questions we hear most from UK landlords about phone mast leases.

View All FAQs
The Electronic Communications Code (ECC), introduced by the Digital Economy Act 2017, governs how mobile operators can access land for telecoms equipment. It introduced a new 'no-scheme' valuation model which can significantly reduce the rent operators are required to pay. As specialist advisors, we help you understand and challenge low rent offers under the Code.
Unfortunately, yes. Since 2017, operators routinely use the Electronic Communications Code to push for dramatic rent reductions during renewals. However, there are strong grounds to challenge these offers β€” particularly for leases that pre-date the new Code. We have successfully resisted such reductions for many clients.
Our fees are typically recovered from the improved rent or one-off payment we secure for you. We operate on a performance basis where possible β€” so you benefit from our expertise without up-front risk. Contact us for a free, no-obligation consultation.
Yes. Cornerstone Telecommunications Infrastructure Limited (CTIL) is the legal entity; Cornerstone is the trading brand. They are the joint Vodafone/O2 network infrastructure company managing approximately 14,200 macro and 1,400 micro sites across the UK.
Potentially yes, but it is complex under the Electronic Communications Code. Operators have rights to apply to the Upper Tribunal (Lands Chamber) to contest removal. We can advise on your specific situation and how best to protect your redevelopment rights when structuring or renewing agreements.
