Rights to light advice before issues slow delivery.
Understand the value, viability and compensation implications early, so constraints can be managed within the development strategy.
How we support
We provide specialist valuation and compensation advice where rights to light could affect development value, viability or delivery.
Working alongside rights to light consultants and legal advisers, we help developers, local authorities and property owners understand the financial implications of potential claims, quantify risk exposure and develop robust negotiation strategies. Our advice supports the resolution of rights to light matters through negotiated settlements, compensation agreements and the use of powers under Section 203 of the Housing and Planning Act 2016 where appropriate.
- Release of rights and negotiated damages
- Section 203 powers and appropriation
- Compensation budgets
- Affected-party engagement
- Section 204 valuation assessments
- Development gain analysis
- Expert evidence
