Documentation for landlords, managing agents and infrastructure operators using Wayline to run wayleave agreements. If you are new to the platform, start with the guide for your role. If you are trying to understand a particular part of the process, the lifecycle and reference sections go into it in detail.

Start with your role

Landlords & Freeholders

Add your building, set your terms, and take your first request through to a signed agreement.

Managing Agents

Set preferences across a portfolio, and the tools that exist because you hold many buildings.

Operators

Find buildings, submit requests, upload RAMS, and sign. Free for operators.

The agreement lifecycle

A wayleave does not end at signature. These pages follow one from a proposal through to the equipment coming out.

How proposed terms are contested, answered and written into the agreement.

After signature

Reinstatement
