    I believe the occupier at the time gets a one-off payment when the pole is installed - not an on-going rent.

    I think that you will find that there will be a wayleave allowing the electricity company access to the pole for maintenance. These often pay you annually - but don't get too excited as it will not be much. Have you contacted the electricity company?

  • Is your property supplied from the pole? If the answer is yes, then you will not be able to claim any 'ground rent' from the pole owner.
