Compulsory Purchase
Compulsory Purchase Orders are used by public authorities to acquire property for purposes such as motorway/road construction or laying of pipelines. Under a complex code of legislation dating back over 150 years, affected property owners are entitled to compensation for their losses arising including professional fees and legal costs.
Our role from a scheme’s inception through to its completion includes:
-
Representation at Public Local Inquiries
-
Advice regarding all statutory notifications
-
Analysing the legal entitlement to compensation under each particular type of scheme
-
Preparation/submission or assessment of statements of claim for compensation
-
Negotiating compensation settlements including accommodation works
-
Representation at Arbitration and Court if necessary
