All property owners benefit from various easements and rights, which may not be immediately apparent.  The right to receive a certain amount of light through your window, or the right to discharge water across another’s land, or indeed access another’s land for building works are enshrined in statute and precedent. 

Case law is constantly changing as in the issue surrounding Rights of Light contained in the case of Regan –v- Paul Properties Ltd.  The Court of Appeal restricted a developer’s ability to redevelop his site due to a reduction of light in the Claimants sitting room.  Chris Easton and his team keep up to date with all changes to legislation in respect of any easements from which you may benefit, or from which you suffer.

In the event of a dispute or potential dispute, contact Chris Easton early for advice in connection with your rights, duties and responsibilities.
