Strutt & Parker have been involved in the telecoms industry since this market emerged in the mid-1980’s. The unrivalled Strutt & Parker Telecoms Group comprises experts from each office across the firm. Each member of our specialised telecoms team has a wealth of experience and knowledge of this unique market.

Acting only for landowners and not for telecommunications operators, we oversee new lettings, lease renewals, negotiate rent reviews, consult on site shares, and advise in relation to requests for site upgrades. We also market and manage individual sites, as well as extensive portfolios of mobile phone mast sites.

This is a fast moving market, as evidenced by the enormous technological advances, and the phenomenal rise in mobile phone users to over 40 million by 2001. Experience and a full understanding of the changing needs and demands of the operators is essential, if landowners are to secure the best possible deal for their mobile phone masts.

Being able to identify good comparable evidence is vital if landowners are to secure the best possible deal.

Key Facts:

We have been extensively involved in the acquisition and sale of portfolios of telecoms sites on behalf of investors and multiple site owners.

We produce the largest national survey of telecoms sites. The survey is compiled from our database of thousands of sites ranging from freestanding or greenfield microcells, to major communication hubs and city centre rooftops.

We are able to provide a review of any telecoms lease and identify opportunities for the landowner. Again without incurring cost; and without obligation.

We are largely able to assist our clients without incurring them any cost. In any negotiation, one of the first terms to be agreed with the operators is that they will meet the costs of the professional and legal advisors employed by the landowner.

It is likely that the operators’ demand for sites may see numbers increase three fold over the next 5-10 years; with so much activity there are opportunities not to be missed.
