Background
Sarah and Mark, an experienced couple looking to downsize after retirement, found a charming home in a village not far from a regional airport. The home checked all their boxes—character features, a manageable garden, and walkable access to shops. But Sarah, a light sleeper, had one non-negotiable: peace and quiet.

Doing their homework
Before putting in an offer, they decided to get a Flight Blight Report from My Flight Path. The report came back with a score of 65—moderate aircraft presence, primarily during the day, with an occasional morning or evening flyover.

While the noise wasn’t unbearable, the couple decided to use this knowledge in their negotiations.

Using the data
They shared the detailed report with their solicitor and proceeded to make a reduced offer on the property, specifically citing the elevated noise levels as a significant potential quality-of-life concern. Additionally, they highlighted that these noise issues could negatively impact the resale value of the home in the future.

Great result!
The seller agreed to a $10,000 reduction on the original asking price. This substantial savings enabled Sarah and Mark to invest in high-quality acoustic-grade windows and enhanced attic insulation, which together greatly improved the indoor soundproofing of their new home.
