Right of Light Insurance

If a building is reducing the amount of light coming into a neighbouring properties’ window, then the neighbouring homeowner has the right to take legal action.  A right of light insurance policy protects the developer and landowner against right of light claims, in which a neighbour claims that the amount of light coming in through their windows has been reduced.

Taking out a right of light policy is essential in protecting yourself from the risk of future claims, with recent cases indicating that rather than just the claimant being compensated, developers can also be given an injunction regarding their property.  The costs of these proceedings can be significant, and a right of light insurance policy protects against all aspects of these claims, from the costs to the outcome.

Finding the best policy on your own can be tricky, but we’re here to help.  We have 10 years of experience in finding developers and landowners the most suitable insurance policies for their properties from our network of underwriters.  Ensure that you’re fully covered with the help of Granite Building Warranties.
