Neighbourly Matters

Neighbourly Matters encompasses a range of issues incidental to Rights of Light and Party Wall matters.

We look to maximise the value of developments, whilst preventing or mitigating disputes by carefully managing the development and construction process.

Our team provide proactive advice and look to engage early in the development process. This allows us to help building owners undertaking work manage any risk and liability. It also allows for early advice to neighbours on how best to protect their property during proposed works.

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.
