Reply To: BT Wayleave Offer for Fibre Installation — Is £2.36 a Metre Reasonable? So our area at long last is having Openreach fibre installation (third party contractor) and this is great news. As a interesting sideline and something I had not thought greatly…

Out of interest I went online and had a chat with ChatGPT, this is a table that resulted in terms of OpenReach Wayleave Payment per Metre.

Also reading online and to help others whom also maybe in this scenarion, does seem as though Openreach offer a standard amount initially, but are fully open to negotiations both in terms of Installation Details, Access Rights and Payment Amount.

And if your particular situation is complicated, only Right of Access and/or Easement or previous agreement in which case you feel you need to seek professional guidance, then Specialist Surveyors or Land Agents services can be called upon.

 

Example Comparison for a  Shared Driveway:

Situation	Likely Payment Per Metre
Basic unpaved surface, minimal disruption	£5 – £10
Tarmacked driveway, light disruption	£10 – £15
Decorative, block-paved driveway, major disruption	£15 – £20+
High-value urban property, shared access, multiple beneficiaries	£20+
