No. Actually, we work on a No-Win, No-Fee basis, so we will never ask you for money. We only get paid on completion of a successful claim and that money comes from a cut of the compensation paid out by the developer.

“Right to Light” is a form of easement that gives a landowner the legal right to receive reasonable light through windows or openings in buildings on their land. Once a building enjoys uninterrupted light for more than 20 years through its windows it acquires a Right to Light. This right ensures that neighboring developments or obstructions do not unlawfully block or diminish the amount of natural light that a property has been accustomed to receive.

When a developer applies for a planning application, our analyst look at the massing models and data reports. From this data they determine what neighbouring properties will be affected. Using these analyzed properties and land registry we are able to find who the injured parties are and help them with their claim.

Each R2L infringement needs to be assessed individually, as there are a number of complex factors to be taken into consideration. An average claim will be in between £10k-£15k. Our professionals will need to physically visit your property in order to measure the impact of the offending development. Shortly thereafter we will be able to provide an accurate estimate.

Developers often try paying minimal compensation if they feel that the injured party does not have expert representation. We would therefore recommend to never sign a settlement agreement without specialist advice. Your Right 2 Light specialises in fighting in your corner in order to achieve the best possible result for you.

Your residence’s location will not affect your claim. As long as you are on the register as the owner of the affected property, you can claim for a Right to Light injury.
