Right of Light Claims

Get Compensation If a Development Is Blocking Your Light

If a development is blocking light to your property, you could be entitled to significant compensation. Daylight Protect offers a fully funded litigation solution, pursuing an injunction against the development or substantial compensation in its place. No recovery, no fee, and no costs to you either way.

Your right

Many owners and occupiers in England and Wales have a legal right to light, usually acquired once a window has enjoyed daylight for 20 years or more. It's a private property right, and it is NOT given up when a developer obtains planning permission.

Our fight

If a neighbouring development has caused, or is about to cause, a loss of light, we will fight your corner on a NO WIN, NO FEE basis to get you the compensation you deserve. In some cases, this may include removal of an obstructing building or an interim injunction.

For light

Our one-stop solution puts a full team behind you. Specialist surveyors, property litigation solicitors and counsel where needed, all backed by legal insurance, working your claim end to end. Developers take a fully funded claim seriously. With an injunction realistically on the table, the balance of power shifts to you.

Daylight Protect did a great job for me. They not only reminded me of my right for light but also fought well and fair to get a good result.

I would like to thank Daylight Protect for successfully obtaining a compensation pay out for my loss of light. From the first contact to final payment, I was kept up to date with the situation, by your professional and knowledgeable team. I would happily recommend your wonderful services. Thank you for my unexpected windfall.

Before going through this process with Daylight Protect, I had never heard of the right to light on a property. They were professional and helpful throughout the whole process. The process was quite daunting as it included solicitors and going up against developers that I believe are thought to be untouchable. But Daylight Protect stood by us for 2 years until the whole thing was settled. I would be happy to refer them to anyone going through a similar situation.
