Right to Light Surveys

We accurately quantify risk for Developers. Using precise scanning equipment, 3D modeling and software analysis our aim is to highlight all potential impacts to neighboring Right to Light easements.
Actionable impacts on neighbouring properties can carry significant financial burdens and time delays. It is critical to understand your position before hand. At Blackacre we provide Design Steering and advise on best strategy for your scheme.
Our Right to Light reports provide an accurate breakdown of the impacts to neighbouring properties. They will quantify the impact to each interest and provide a value of the risk involved. Finally they contain a strategy moving forward with our recommendations.
Finally we pride ourselves on good quality communication with the client and will always be available to discuss the findings.

Negotiations
If you live next to a proposed Development, unfortunately your Right to Light easement can be impacted, and unless you raise a concern, it will be lost.
At Blackacre we regularly advise property owners who are having their rights infringed by a development.
We appreciate the value of light, whether in London or a countryside cottage, natural light is important to people. We have spent decades specialising in Right to Light negotiations, seeking to ensure our clients get a fair settlement for their losses. Of course, if a property owners' rights are infringed, and a nuisance caused, they may be at right to seek injunction over the offending party, however in most cases compensation will be agreed.
