A right to/of light (R2L/ROL) is a form of easement that gives a landowner the legal right to receive reasonable light through defined apertures (mostly windows) in buildings on their land. The building affected must have existed and enjoyed uninterrupted light for more than 20 years and the current owner must have lived there for more than 1 year to acquire the rights.
Our team of analysts, surveyors and lawyers are specialists in R2L claims. Following an initial internal analysis, we will quickly understand if an actionable R2L infringement has occurred. We represent our clients on a ‘No Win No Fee’ basis, meaning that using our services is risk risk free. We pride ourselves in achieving the desired results for our clients, whether they are design reviews or financial compensation.
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 your corner in order to achieve the best possible result for you.
Each R2L infringement needs to be assessed individually, as there are a number of complex factors to be taken into consideration. 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 indication.
