A Part 1 claim must rest on one or more of the seven physical factors. These are the ones this type of works typically produces:
- Noise
- Vibration
Is your property close enough?
There is no fixed distance limit — what matters is whether the physical factors from the works reduced your property's value. In practice the strongest claims sit within a few hundred metres. Enter your postcode and we will measure it, score the claim and show the reasoning.

Who pays the professional fees
Because the authority's scheme created the loss, it is also expected to meet the reasonable surveyor and legal costs of quantifying and settling the claim, commonly by reference to Ryde's Scale. We work on a no win, no fee basis — see how fees are paid.
