A rooftop lease looks like an easy income opportunity. Someone approaches you with a proposal to install solar panels or a telecoms mast on your roof, you sign a contract, and the cheques start arriving. Simple.

The trouble is what sits in the small print. Access rights, weight limits and roof damage. Notice periods that could shut your business down for a week. Redundant equipment nobody comes back to remove at the end of the term. And, for telecoms deals, a separate statutory regime that can quietly give the operator more rights than the document suggests.

Rob walks through what to check before you sign — and why so many of these end up in dispute.
