The new provisions of the Electronic Communications Code (“New Code”) which came into force after passing the Digital Economy Act 2017 may cause you sleepless nights if you have allowed a Code Operator access to your land.
We have experts at Lawson West Solicitors who may be able to advise and assist you to understanding the New Code. There are valuation shifts from the Old Code to the New Code. We at Lawson West Solicitors understand and can navigate the transition from the Standard Commercial Lease to a “No Scheme Valuation” approach.
We are able to provide advice to protect a Landowners interest by exploring caselaw favouring Landowners and compensation for disruption caused by Code Operators.
We are able to advise Landowners in enhanced Code Operator rights where Code Operators have enhanced rights to install, upgrade share and assign on land.
By crafting an agreement that benefits both parties which is key to a successful Landowner-Code Operator relationship. Given the complexity of the New Code seeking legal advice is highly recommended.
Empower yourself as a Landowner and obtain legal advice for existing and future agreements through informed decisions that can unlock the true potential of your land whilst continuing the growth of modern connectivity in England.
