About EK Rights to light
If neglected, natural light matters can become a major obstacle for developers and architects, and costly to resolve. Of course, it’s also in the interests of neighbours to be aware of any light issues before work begins. Nobody benefits from a drawn out and expensive dispute over Rights to Light.
Understanding potential impacts at an early stage is key to ensuring that Right to Light and Daylight, Sunlight and Overshadowing matters are taken into account. A project can then either go ahead free from the risk of disputes arising, or solutions can be found to mitigate any negative impacts.
Whether you are a developer (building owner) concerned about the risk to your development or an affected neighbouring owner (adjoining owner) worried about the potential loss of light to your property, we are ready to act on your behalf. We will guide you through the process from start to finish, ensuring you are fully aware of the risks and pitfalls in all right to light common law matters.
