I have been a photographer for longer than I can remember. The law regarding photography I am well aware of and unfortunately you are wrong.
for your information as long as the photo is not taken on a property but on public or other ground then there is nothing to stop anyone photographing any house they wish.

If the property boundary is crossed then yes permission must be sought from the property owner first.

This has come up time and time again in court and every time thrown out. Privacy laws have to show intent of intruding into personal lives

Google Earth will show people’s houses. I looked at mine the other day, plus houses I have lived in previously to see what changes the owners have made to them. My house even shows my car on the drive. I love looking at them, when my grandson bought his property I immediately looked it up on Google as I knew I couldn’t visit any time soon.

As has been said, it is perfectly legal to photograph a house provided it is done from a public place.

Home owners have given permission for their property to be shown by Estate agents and Buck House is a tourist attraction.

The property you have shown on here is a private residence whose owner I very much doubt gave you permission to show it on here. Privacy laws and all that

In the last few months a house in the road opposite our back garden has had fitted very bright security lights that actually light up every room in the back of our house. That is 3 bedrooms a lounge and dining room light up like daylight.



So just now got so fed up I went over to have a gentle word. The lady age 84 came out and explained the problem and pointed out that security lighting has to be confined to within their boundary. She said sorry she will get the installers to alter them, which I thought was nice of her, all very friendly and amicable.

Then out came her 86 yr old husband with a very aggressive attitude for no reason at all wanting to know what was going on. So I explained to him and boy did he let fly. No need for it at all. I
did say I could have gone to environment health people or taken out a court order, but that is not my style. His attitude was really very abrasive and went in then came out and said their I have switched the bloody lights off now.

Why such an aggressive attitude? I could have easily made it so much more aggressive myself but I didn't having had to put up with this for several months

They say about the rudenes of the younger generation but the older generation are far worse.

The house causing the problem, and one of the two high powered lights direct at my house. Must be at least 500/1000 w if not higher in led terms





All it needs is for them to be pointing down, he is very lucky I didn't retaliate

Rubbish.

He took a photo of his garden. Take another look and see for yourself.
