ABSTRACT

The case of Naylor v Southern Electricity Board [1996] 1 EGLR 195 awarded compensation of £4,000 for depreciation in the value of a house due to oversailing power lines.

13.6 In every case, solicitor’s and valuer’s fees, interest at the statutory rate should be claimed, and also, in the case of the damage claim, payment for the claimant’s time (which is usually considerable) spent in dealing with the matter.
