Testimonials
Rent Recovery
I contacted the Phone Mast Company after reading various previous testimonials on their website that applauded them for their success in
arranging for the payment of backdated rent. The Phone Mast Company were subsequently able to secure outstanding rental payments due to our
company for a seven year period, which was an excellent result, and I would not hesitate to recommend their services.

Rent Recovery
′The Phone Mast Company was instructed to deal with a mast on our industrial estate. The operator owed
us a couple of years back dated rent. Not only were The Phone Mast Company able to recover our backdated rent,
they also attracted another operator to the site. As a result of their negotiations they more than doubled
the amount of rent that the operator was first proposing for the new telephone mast. They also recovered all
their agent fees and my solicitor’s fees from the mobile phone operator. We are very pleased with the work
The Phone Mast Company did for us and would recommend them to anyone with a mast cell site on their land.′

Rent Recovery and Mast Removal
′ I contacted the Phone Mast Company following a rent reduction proposal. The operator in question had already
reduced my rent without any formal agreement being completed. The Phone Mast Company managed to recover all rent
arrears and instigated the removal of an adjacent mast, which had been left redundant and was unsightly.′

Mobile phone mast management.
“The Phone Mast Company has been managing our masts now for a number of years. We have found that the value they have given
to our mast portfolio has been excellent. Since taking over the complete management of our base stations we always
receive our rent on time and have seen our cell towers income stream increase significantly. They also
alert us when new equipment has been installed and gain us extra income for this. When it comes to
mobile phone mast advice these guys know exactly what they are doing”

Mobile Phone Mast News
January 2012
Mobile phone operators appear to be commencing phase 2 of their rent reduction programs. They are targeting landlords who have already agreed to a previous rent reduction on the promise this would benefit them in the future. This is not the case! Before you agree to any reduction in your phone mast rental you should seek professional advice on whether agreeing to a mobile network operators demands will actual improve the future security of your phone mast income and prevent future attempts to reduce your mast rent. Otherwise you could become an easy target for constant rent reductions or threats of losing your mast income.
Most network operators are now more profitable than they have ever been and agents acting for them often work on a no win - no fees basis. If they do not agree a reduction in your rent they do not get a fee! Remember, reducing mast site rentals is not helping prevent operators from going into liquidation (as they may lead you to believe) it is purely an exercise to increase their profit. You only need to look at the profits these firms are generating on Companies House. A 4G network is imminent and the chances are, most mobile phone operators will need more masts not less, as seen with the roll-outs of 2G and 3G networks. Call us today to see how we can help you assess if you are at risk of losing your phone mast and income. Sometimes it is nothing more than a bluff, but we have seen some masts decommissioned and any threat should be taken seriously until proven otherwise.

It’s not only mobile phone operators that are acquiring new telecoms sites, broadband providers are too. In recent months, we have been approached by several broadband providers including UK Broadband Ltd regarding potential sites on our Offered Sites Database. If you wish to offer up a potential telecoms site or attract more tenants to an existing site, why not advertise your site with us now - and it's FREE!

Ofcom have just announced the auction of 4G licenses. 4G networks will greatly benefit mobile phone users with smart phones as the data download speeds will be greatly improved. The auction will start in the first quarter of 2012, subject to consultation. The operators are expected to start rolling out the 4G networks and mobile masts in 2013. As seen with the 3G network rollout, we expect the 4G networks will require additional mobile base stations. This will mean many phone operators will have to upgrade sites and increase their number of mobile phone masts.
If you are a land owner or own a property suitable for a mobile phone mast, now is the ideal time to starting marketing it on our website. Please click on the Mast Marketing page via our services and advertise your site for free (Terms & Conditions apply).

All the operators are now involved in rent reduction attempts. Orange and T-Mobile (Everything Everywhere Ltd) Vodafone, O2, H3G and Airwave are all trying to persuade landlords to accept lower rents. Our advice remains the same, no matter which operator you are dealing with, send us a copy of your lease which we will review free of charge and provide you with our professional opinion. Each site needs to be assessed on its own merits. Some are very unlikely to be removed from the network, others are more at risk. We carry out an in depth assessment and guarantee to improve any offer you have received to date.
June 2010
Orange and T Mobile merge to form Everything Everywhere. This is due to take effect on the 1st July 2010. One of their aims is to eradicate duplication in network provision which could lead to a further reduction in mobile phone mast sites. This could affect thousands of phone mast landlords nationwide. The Phone Mast Company can review your T Mobile or Orange mobile phone mast lease FREE OF CHARGE to see how you might best protect your phone mast income in this ever changing industry.
December 2009
Over the past few months most of the mobile phone mast operators and operators agents have been claiming that market rents for mobile phone mast sites have fallen. The Phone Mast Company does not agree and is still agreeing rental increases on many of our deals. We have yet to see any significant evidence to show falling rents. Many mobile phone operators are taking an aggressive approach with Landlords. They are unable to provide any real evidence of falling rents and are simply threatening Landlords that unless they accept a rent reduction, they could lose their mast / income. In many cases mobile phone operators are refusing to renew existing leases, instead opting to "hold over" on the same lease terms / rents as the previous leases.
November 2009
At present many of the mobile phone mast operators are claiming that market rents for mobile phone mast sites have fallen. This is not the case and is only what the mobile phone mast companies want you to believe to help reduce their running costs. The Phone Mast Company is still agreeing rental increases on the majority of all our deals. If you have received a letter from a mobile phone operator requesting to reduce your mobile phone mast rent then call us today. We can help you get the best deal!
September 2009
Orange and T-mobile merger. These two operators look likely to combine forces to become the largest UK mobile phone operator. So far, the affect this will have on mast leases and rents is unclear. If you have any concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact us and we will endeavour to keep you informed as the situation becomes clearer.
August 2009
There is growing concern among landlords that they may lose their income from telecom sites as a result of the recent network consolidation plans of operators. The Phone Mast Company Ltd can offer professional advice and guidance on this matter.
