Internet connectivity is one of the top three deciding factors for businesses looking for new premises, and poor connectivity can result in longer voids and lower rental income for landlords.

Lengthy installation timelines have caused disruption and frustration for years, leaving occupiers to favour buildings with connectivity that is live and ready to go.   

To meet this demand, landlords are partnering with connectivity providers like Vorboss – enabling occupiers to access high-speed connectivity within days, instead of the usual 3 – 6 months.  

As London’s only dedicated business fibre provider guaranteeing a minimum of 10Gbps – and up to 100Gbps – Vorboss can turn connectivity into a competitive advantage for your building; attracting tenants, reducing voids, and commanding premium rental income.

Wavenet has used our experience working with managed and serviced offices, to help landlords transform their offices into plug n play, managed offices that are shown to command a significant uplift per sq ft compared to traditional offices. 

Remove administration and overheads

Future proof your buildings 

As well as improving your buildings credentials today, we will provide solutions to ensure your buildings remain at the cutting edge of technology for years to come. 

What is a wayleave?   

A wayleave is an agreement between a landlord, or landowner, and a telecoms provider that gives the provider permission to access the land or property to install, maintain or repair the equipment. 

Typically, a wayleave can take months to implement, meaning it takes months for your customers to get connected. Our in-house team will work with you to organise an agreement for a single site, or across multiple sites.  This will remove the need for you to engage with every occupier and enable them to move in without delay. 

How do I access the Vorboss solution?    

At Wavenet, we offer Vorboss’s solution through our specialist real estate division. Find out more here.

Future-proof your buildings

Your building technology will start acting as an enabler; attracting occupiers, reducing voids, and enabling you to command premium rental income.

From risk to resolution: how Active Assessor helps you stay ahead of Awaab's Law

What does Awaab's Law mean and why does it matter? Damp and mould aren’t just inconvenient maintenance problems - they’re serious risks to tenant health, regulatory compliance, and the reputation of housing providers. Nearly 1 in 7 social homes in England failed to meet the Decent Homes Standard in 2023¹. On top of that, the NHS is estimated to spend £1.4 billion a year treating health issues related to cold, damp housing². And yet, more than half of tenants experiencing condensation, damp or mould don’t report it. Often, they don’t recognise the early signs, or they simply don’t believe they’ll be taken seriously. This silence leaves landlords in the dark and turns small, fixable issues into expensive, high-risk problems. From October, social landlords will be legally required to fix emergency hazards within 24 hours and investigate and repair dangerous damp and mould within set timeframes, under new legislation known as Awaab’s Law. Introduced in memory of two-year-old Awaab Ishak, who tragically died in 2020 after prolonged exposure to mould in his social housing, the law represents a major step toward improving housing safety and quality. It allows tenants to take legal action if landlords fail to comply and will be rolled out in phases, beginning with damp and mould, to ensure effective implementation. This approach aims to deliver meaningful, lasting change while honouring the efforts of Awaab’s family to secure justice. Awaab’s Law also supports the government’s broader plan for change, which includes a commitment to building 1.5 million new homes and delivering the biggest improvement to social and affordable housing in a generation. The challenge: strained teams & outdated systems Most housing providers care deeply about tenant safety. The problem isn’t willingness—it’s capacity. Maintenance teams, IT departments, and customer contact centres are already stretched thin. Spotting early-stage issues requires tools they simply don’t have. Traditional, manual inspections are expensive and slow. Reactive workflows leave little room to get ahead of problems. And despite growing demand for proactive service, only 13% of customers actually receive it. The systems many teams rely on today are fragmented, outdated, and not fit for the pressures of a post-Awaab world. The solution: Active Assessor by 8x8
