What Are the Benefits of a Lease of Rights?

A Lease of Rights combines features of both a wayleave and an easement. It is recorded in the property's deed, making it binding on future property owners. Unlike easements, which are permanent, a Lease of Rights has a fixed term, usually lasting 20 years from the date it is granted. This can provide a clear timeframe for renegotiation or expiration, giving you and future owners more certainty.

Understanding Your Lease of Rights

A Lease of Rights allows utility companies to maintain access to your property for a specified period, typically 20 years, while also ensuring that any new owners of the property will adhere to the same terms. This type of agreement can offer a structured approach to managing utility access and compensation, ensuring that both parties have a clear understanding of the terms and duration.
