We strive to provide our clients with the highest standard of service

Blue Sky Surveyors was started in 2016 when a few experienced rights of light https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enfield surveyors realized that at most major practices, small and medium-size clients were not getting the same level of care as large-scale developers in rights of light negotiations. We believe that providing all of our clients with the same level of service puts us in a position to deliver a superior standard of work.

We reach the best possible outcome for our clients. We achieve this by working closely with them to understand their expectations and deliver a tailored service that serves them best. Through dedication and experience, we strive to provide our clients with the highest standard of service.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

5

What is right to light?

A right to light is an “easement” which is enjoyed by one property (the dominant party) and burdens another property (the servient party).

5

Do you enjoy a right to light?

You must be able to establish that you do indeed enjoy a right to light in order to be able to enforce it. The most common way of acquiring a right is through long-term enjoyment, which is outlined in the Prescription Act 1832.

5

What about compensation/damages?

The primary remedy for an infringement to a right to light is an injunction. However, in recent years judges have used discretion and sometimes awarded damages in lieu. There are many factors that can contribute to the likelihood of an injunction being granted.

5

Can I prevent someone acquiring a right to light?

It may be possible to prevent someone from acquiring a right to light through long-term enjoyment (as outlined in the Prescription Act 1832). You may be able to serve a Light Obstruction Notice (LON) which can interrupt a parties enjoyment of light over your property or land. Details of LONs can be found in the Rights of Light Act 1959.

5

Who may have a right to light?

Anyone with a proprietary interest in a property.

5

What is an infringement to a right of light?

If the erection of a building, or extension to an existing building, reduces the daylight to a room (or rooms) within a neighbouring property to below a threshold level, then this would constitute an infringement.

5

Releasing a right to light?

It is sometimes possible to reach a financial settlement with a neighbour for a release of their right to light and doing so will address the risk. However, it must be remembered that you cannot force an affected neighbour to accept compensation to release their right to light; although, in the vast majority of cases an agreement can be reached.
