Well not exactly as
1 it would be unusual for there not to be a a clause referring to access for statutory undertakers ( of which the local cable company is one)
and even if it did not they landlord cannot exclude them as
2 in this case they have rights under the 84 Act for voluntary an involuntary access.
Not to mention that in many cases Virgins predecessor companies are likely to have signed an earlier wayleave in some cases over particular building ans as they were acquired ultimately by Virgin they still stand.
As the person who acted on and agreed the very first ever right of preemption agreement of a cable company over a satellite installer, not to mention numerous phone masts and endless arguments with BT cable companies and the gas installers, I know a little bit about it.:AStop! Think. Read the small print. Trust nothing and assume that it is your responsibility. That way it rarely goes wrong.
Actively hunting down the person who invented the imaginary tenure, "share freehold"; if you can show me one I will produce my daughter's unicorn0
