Rights to Light Manchester

We have the most experienced team of specialist Rights to Light surveyors based in Manchester and around the UK.

With this unrivalled expertise, our Rights to Light Manchester team of surveyors deliver solutions to schemes affected by rights to light, maximizing the development potential of a site whilst respecting the amenity of neighbouring buildings.

Our Manchester Rights to Light surveyors are based in offices in the heart of the city. Just around the corner from Manchester Piccadilly, in the middle of the Northern Quarter our surveyors provide advice in the city and across the North West.

Rights to Light can be one of the key determinants of the development potential of a site, particularly in dense urban areas.

No matter the size of a project, from modest residential work to the largest commercial developments, we apply the same expertise, care and attention to detail.

We work with investors, developers, owners and occupiers to assess schemes and provide clear strategic advice on potential issues, whilst proactively managing any associated risk.

With our practical and creative approach we look to take account of the commercial opportunities as well as the limitations.

Our Rights to Light Surveyors in Manchester

Our Manchester Rights to Light surveyors advise from site acquisition through to the resolution of rights by negotiation. We advise our clients on how to optimise the development potential of a site, whilst mitigating the impact to affected neighbours.

Rights to Light for Adjoining Owners

We analyse proposed schemes and review the impacts on our client’s properties that adjoin proposed developments.

We devise strategies for negotiating a settlement or scheme variation to settle any potential claim for loss of light.

Management of Rights – Light Obstruction Notices

We advise owners of property portfolios on the management of their assets, including the use of Light Obstruction Notices to prevent neighbouring properties from acquiring rights.
