If you've been approached with a request by Telstra, NBN, Optus, Vodafone or another telecommunication company, you should get legal advice to make sure the deal you've been provided with is fair and reflects market conditions. Usually we are able to arrange for your legal fees to be reimbursed to you in these types of matters.
Usually, the telecommunication company will provide you with a letter setting out the key terms and conditions they wish to offer you and they will ask that you sign it as soon as possible. You should get in touch with us as early as possible as this is a great opportunity for us to provide advice and to negotiate terms such as the rent, how the rent will be increased over the term, how the lease is likely to impact on your ability to do other things with your land and notification requirements when they need to access your land.
Once there's been an agreement on the key terms and conditions the proposed lease will be provided to us for review before you sign it.
Most telecommunication companies will want to have their lawyers draft the lease and so there are often terms and conditions that we will seek to negotiate to better protect your interest as landlord. We will be thinking ahead and checking things like what rights the telecommunication company has to sublease a part of the tower to another provider, what right they have to terminate the lease early and the consequences of termination, and what clean up obligations they have at the end of the lease.
This process it can take some time and we will get in touch with you by email or phone when we have an update or when we need your instructions.
Once the lease has been settled, we'll make sure it is properly signed and we'll provide you with a copy and keep the original with your other important records.
Our Meags grew up on a dairy farm near Cobden and has a genuine knack for people. It’s no wonder that she’s a wonderful host and embraces every moment she can, feeding food (and wine) to her friends and family at home. We all wish we could score an invite to her place at Christmas. Just maybe not when the Magpies are playing on TV. Yep, another Collingwood nutter!
You don’t have to drive too far to see Bec slaying her guitar with her pub rock cover band. The volume is quite a contrast to her upbringing on a peaceful farm! Bec comes from three generations of dairy farmers in Camperdown. That’s a lot of legacy, life experience and appreciation for practicality – all of which she naturally applies in her advice. And her clients love her for it.
Shaun cherishes the sense of community living in Camperdown, having moved from Geelong seven years ago. It’s no wonder he enjoys playing team sports, such as cricket, tennis and soccer. He and his lovely wife also have a young son and two dogs to run around after.
Grace loves the convenience of how close everything is in the country. From work, family, the supermarket and of course, her home. She grew up in Colac and learnt a lot of life experience from her parents who run a business in the ag industry. If you haven’t been lucky enough to meet her in the office just yet, find her watching the local Colac Tigers come the weekend.
Ash's upbringing revolved around shearing sheds, saleyards and running amok in the NSW bush. She's now enjoying bringing up her young son on the Bellarine and enjoying all that this area has to offer. If you ask Ash about football, she’ll tell you the Bombers are due for some strong finals action. We think she'll be waiting some time yet!
Our Saint ’Nick’ is not just a St Kilda supporter. He’s an avid video game player and enjoys listening to music to accompany the relaxing atmosphere of country life. We’re not sure if it’s his choice in football teams that makes him ultra-resilient or his two younger brothers. Maybe ask him when you chat to him next.
When the lovely Loz is not in the office keeping things in check, she’s operating at a slower pace embracing her latest book or the latest banter amongst her beloved family and friends. Like many of us, she loves being part of a supportive local community.
