Right to light claims, fully funded from the first letter to the final settlement
Searching for "right to light no win no fee"? That covers the solicitor. It doesn't cover the surveyor whose evidence the claim stands on, the barrister, the court fees, or the risk of paying the developer's costs if it goes wrong. Ours does. We facilitate the surveyors, the lawyers, the court costs and even the barristers, and your claim is protected by the insurance included in the plan. You pay nothing unless we win.
Free pre-assessment
Send us your address and the development (a name, an address or a planning reference is enough). We look at the scheme, your title and whether the light to your rooms is likely to be affected. You can have an answer in as little as two hours, and it costs nothing.
Sign up, fully covered
If it's a runner, you sign the Daylight Protect Claim Plan and the solicitors' no win, no fee agreement, and the insurance is put in place. From that moment the surveyor, the solicitors, counsel, court fees and the other side's costs are all covered. You have 14 days to change your mind.
Letter of claim, analysis, negotiation
Your solicitors put the developer formally on notice, which protects your position and gets their attention. A specialist surveyor models the loss of light room by room using the Waldram method. Most claims settle from here, because the developer can see the claim is equipped to go the distance.
Settlement, or court if it comes to that
Where a developer won't engage, your team is already in place and already covered to issue proceedings, at no cost to you. When the claim succeeds, compensation is paid, the agreed percentage comes out, and the rest is yours. Nothing else to pay.
Previous successful claims
Daylight Protect
Daylight Protect evolved from the amalgamation of expert knowledge in property and urban planning. It was established to address the balance of power and give the claimant a voice. Many developers have neglected to manage the issues surrounding a claimant's entitlement to Rights of Light. The root cause of this imbalance has been the claimant's lack of knowledge and their inability to get viable representation. There is a common misconception that the granting of planning permission gives a developer the right to infringe on the light of another. This is simply not true. The Daylight Protect Claim Plan was developed to assist you in circumstances where new, proposed or recent developments have an impact on your light.
Whether you're looking for a way to halt the construction, remove the offending part of the development or receive financial compensation, Daylight Protect are here to help you. Call us now on 0800 955 4448. Our comprehensive hassle free, one-stop service will manage your claim through to conclusion, on a genuine no win, no fee basis. It all starts today with a simple pre-assessment as to whether you have suffered an adequate loss of light to make a claim and receive compensation. We will then pass your claim to one of our expert panel solicitors and surveyors to advise on the best possible solution for your individual circumstances.
