The people behind the advice

Why Your Neighbour Exists

When a development could affect your home, it can be difficult to know who to turn to. Rights of light, daylight and sunlight assessments and planning reports can involve technical information that isn’t easy to interpret without specialist experience.

Your Neighbour was created to make that information more accessible. We help homeowners, residents and groups of neighbours explore the potential impact of nearby development, identify the issues that may affect them and find a clearer way forward.

Our approach combines the technical expertise of Chancery Group with a straightforward, personal service that starts with listening to your concerns.

Backed by Chancery Group

Your Neighbour is part of Chancery Group, giving you access to a specialist team in rights of light and daylight and sunlight. This means you get a personal, resident-focused service backed by technical knowledge needed to look carefully at the issues affecting your property or neighbourhood.

Experience that makes complex issues clearer

Rights of light and daylight and sunlight assessments can involve detailed reports, calculations and technical terminology. Our role is to make that information easier to follow, explaining what has been assessed, what the findings show and which further questions may need to be explored.

Our team has substantial experience advising on developments ranging from individual properties to major residential, commercial and mixed-use schemes. We bring that specialist knowledge to help connect your concerns with the technical issues that matter.

Northern roots, universal expertise

With roots in the North from Vanessa and Chancery Group, Your Neighbour is particularly well placed to support homeowners and communities across the northern regions and beyond. Wherever you’re based, the starting point is the same: looking at what’s happening, what concerns you and what advice may be relevant.

Why Your Neighbour?

We believe specialist advice should be easier to access and easier to follow. That means listening to your concerns before jumping to technical conclusions, explaining unfamiliar terminology and reports clearly, being realistic about what can be established, and helping you understand the next step.
