RIGHT TO LIGHT INDEMNITY

Developments that increase the height or mass of a property may infringe upon the Right to Light of neighbouring properties, potentially leading to costly legal disputes and project delays. Right to Light is an easement that ensures property owners maintain adequate natural light within their buildings. If a development reduces light levels beyond the legally recognised threshold—often determined using the 50:50 rule—affected property owners may seek compensation or even injunctions to halt construction.

Right to Light Indemnity Insurance provides financial protection against such claims, covering legal costs, settlements, and potential losses arising from an injunction. Whether you choose to engage proactively with affected parties or adopt a ‘wait-and-see’ approach, a tailored insurance policy can safeguard your project from unexpected liabilities, ensuring progress without unnecessary financial risk.
