Tenant Looking For BT Line

Our property has Virgin Cable Sockets installed and the Tenant is looking for BT. This would entail a new BT Socket being installed but would be correct in saying that this alters the property?

Provided the T is willing to pay for installation I would not see it as an issue. There may be a small box on the wall, etc but nothing any more intrusive than Virgin.
Why are they fixated on BT? They can equally transfer their landline number to a Virgin phone line.0 -
It strikes me as reasonable for them to want a BT line. With a BT line you have a choice of phone/broadband suppliers, whereas a Virgin cable only gets you Virgin stuff. It will require a cable and phone socket to be installed.
If I were the landlord I would want to be asked first but wouldn't have a problem with the work going ahead. I'd see this as improving the property and making it more lettable for the future.0 -
If the T is paying any installation costs I'd have no problem, though I would want to know where BT plan to bring the cable in (hole drilled in window frame? Through the brickwork somewhere?) and I'd want to be sure it ws a proper job.
Any damage done would have to be made good by BT or the tenant.0 -
Thanks folks. BT apparently are offering free installation0
