Mobile phone mast

Shazforgrub

Dunno if this is the right forum for this or not, but some farmers may have experience in this. If a moblie phone company want to put an aerial/mast on your land, what sort of money can you expect per year? 10,000-15,000?? Also, are you better off putting up a mast yourself and then renting out space on it to the different networks??

My friends 2nd cousin is getting €12,000pa + 200pa for each mast put on to it, ie. 6 masts= €1,200pa.

Our local gaa club has a small mobile phone signal deflector on one of its light poles and a small transformer at the base of it. We get €10000 per year from Vodafone. Contract is up for renewal this year and we hope to get more from them after this.

Might give you an idea of how much to negotiate for.

have the locals begun a campaign opposing your mast yet , seems compulsory in this country to be frightened by everything thats taller than a house

No, but no doubt they will!

Its to go in our GAA club grounds on a pole which is used for floodlights. They're offering e10,000 (The 3 Network), but I was just wondering if thats the best you'll get or what

That's exactly what we have in our GAA club.
Neighbours won't get to object because they won't need planning permission to put it up on an existing pole. If its anything like we have, people won't even know its there because its so small - its just a deflector.

Its a handy little income for the club too!

Putting the mast up yourself is not a runner.
The communications co would do all of that, and then pay you a rent.
Still, if you loose the goodwill of neighbours/relatives and if the worst comes to the worst and you have cancer in a few years, will it be worth the money?

do farmers avail of the above--if they intrude on your land...esb(poles,etc)

Yes, they send a cheque for 34.00 euro each year.:)
Maintenance on the poles is carried out every few years, in wintertime they can leave fields in a mess . not worth the hassle:( avoid letting them erect them if possible

hiya,

i work in this industry and I can tell you now that these companies are going to be looking to reduce these payments next year so what you are getting is very good and at the high end of the scale.

As mentioned it is a great little earner for the likes of the GAA clubs that need funding especially in rural areas.

Good luck with it...

They can "look" all they like, no guarantee they'll get it.;)
