ARC Partners

Protecting Your Property in the Digital Age

The landscape of UK telecommunications is shifting rapidly. With the introduction of the Digital Economy Act 2017 and the 2022 Infrastructure Act, the balance of power has tilted heavily toward network operators. At Arc Partners, we act as your dedicated advocates, ensuring that your rights as a landlord aren't sidelined by infrastructure giants.

We are RICS-accredited Chartered Surveyors who specialise exclusively in the intersection of property and telecommunications. Whether you are managing a single rooftop site or a diverse commercial portfolio, we provide the strategic oversight needed to mitigate risks and maintain control over your assets.

90 Years of Combined Industry Insight

Our strength lies in our collective experience. We don't just understand property; we understand the specific machinations of the telecoms industry. We combine our internal expertise with a network of specialist partners across the legal, planning, and construction sectors to deliver a truly multidisciplinary service.

Navigating 'The Code' and Beyond

Most landlords find the 'New Code' daunting. It places significant financial and operational pressure on property owners. We specialise in helping you navigate these challenges without losing control of your building. Our core approach involves:

• Professional & Code Consultancy: Helping you navigate site agreements that often favour the operator.
• Access & Works Management: Overseeing contractors and maintenance requests to ensure your building's integrity is never compromised.
• Vacant Possession: Managing the complex process of removals and relocations when you need your property back for redevelopment.

Unlocking Hidden Revenue Opportunities

While much of the industry is focused on the restrictions of the Code, we look for the exceptions. We identify 'non-Code' opportunities where market value still applies. This primarily includes private network opportunities, such as low latency financial trading networks, and mast income securitisation (long lease disposal) where value enhancement is the principal driver.

Led by Industry Veterans

Our team is led by Tom Parrish (MRICS), who has been at the helm since 2008, and Tristan Davis (MRICS), a Senior Consultant with over 25 years in the sector. Tristan’s expertise is particularly vital for institutional clients seeking vacant possession for major urban redevelopment schemes. Together with Katherine Anderson (LLB), we provide a robust consultancy that combines surveying rigour with deep legal and regulatory understanding.
