Preconnect removes the wayleave process from a tenant's connection timeline entirely. Instead of each new occupier negotiating their own agreement, Elevate puts a single master wayleave in place across the whole building before anyone moves in. Fibre is already pre-installed in the risers, with a distribution point on every floor or suite. That means when a tenant is ready to connect, there's no legal negotiation to wait on, just an install. Buildings on Preconnect can get occupiers online in as little as 48 hours.
A wayleave agreement is a formal agreement between a landowner and a utility or telecoms provider. It grants the right to install, access, and maintain equipment — cables, ducting, connectivity infrastructure — on private land, without transferring any ownership of the land itself. It's typically tied to the current owner rather than the property, so it doesn't automatically pass on if the site is sold. The agreement covers the route the equipment takes, terms for accessing it, and any payment due to the landowner.
Preconnect works by having the building's connectivity built and ready before an occupier ever moves in. Fibre is pre-installed through the risers with a distribution point at every floor or suite, and a master wayleave already covers the whole building, so there's no separate legal agreement or wait for access rights when a business signs a lease. Once an occupier is ready to connect, it's simply a case of activating that existing infrastructure — handled by a dedicated connection concierge — rather than starting an install from scratch. That's what brings the timeline for going live down to as little as two days, on a connection that runs symmetrical speeds up to 10Gbps.
For agents, Preconnect gives you a genuine point of difference when marketing a building — connectivity that's already live, rather than a promise buyers have to take on faith. Because the master wayleave and fibre are already in place, you can tell prospective occupiers they'll be online in as little as two days, which shortens the gap between signing and move-in and helps reduce void periods. It also strengthens the pitch on sustainability-led searches, since Preconnect buildings carry a guaranteed WiredScore uplift that can support a stronger certification rating. And because installation is at no cost to the landlord, it's a feature you can market without the deal needing to absorb any of that cost.
For occupiers, Preconnect means moving into an office that's already connected - no waiting on wayleave negotiations or installation delays before you can get online. Because the fibre is pre-installed in the building's risers with a distribution point on every floor, connection can be live in as little as two days rather than the weeks a traditional install would take. Speeds run symmetrical up to 10Gbps on a 10Gb bearer, so there's headroom to scale without switching providers as the business grows. Occupiers also get a dedicated connection concierge to manage setup, plus tailored services if their needs go beyond a standard connection, and in Elevate's Hypercities, rooftop wireless resiliency backs up the fibre for 100% uptime.
Preconnect lets landlords offer hyperfast internet as a built-in feature of the building, installed at no cost and with none of the admin. A single master wayleave covers the whole asset upfront, so there's no negotiating access every time a new occupier moves in. It also contributes a guaranteed minimum of 23 additional points to WiredScore certification in existing developments, or 11 in new builds, which helps the asset stand out to prospective tenants. For facilities and estate managers specifically, it removes the recurring hassle of bringing new occupiers online and managing their connectivity afterwards, Elevate handles the commercials as tenants come online, and the landlord also gets their own private connection for building management use.
