Infringement of Right to Light

Legal disputes can arise when a neighbour constructs a fixture that infringes on a property’s enjoyment of their right to light. Right to light is a type of easement that protects the natural light your property receives through defined apertures in buildings on your land. Your right to light could be infringed for example by a neighbour erecting a wall that blocks the light onto your property. At Wilkes, we provide expert legal services to help you navigate these disputes, protecting your rights and achieving fair outcomes.

How We Can Help

Infringement of Right to Light

Easement breaches by a neighbour can disrupt the light on your property, which can alter the physical nature of your property. This is commonly done by a neighbour erecting a building or fixture that blocks the sunlight reaching your property. If this occurs you could be entitled to relief such as getting them to remove what they have built or financial compensation. If there is a dispute in connection to light regarding your property, our team is here to help.
