Land Compensation
This is a specialist area of professional advice offered to owners and occupiers where government departments and agencies, local authorities, public bodies, statutory undertakers, and utility companies possess powers to acquire land and property by way of compulsory purchase orders and special parliamentary powers.
How I Can Help
From scheme inception through to completion and settlement of compensation I bring many years experience and knowledge gained from working on a range of projects from minor road improvements to major infrastructure schemes in urban and rural locations, and in economic regeneration, housing initiatives, and other areas where compulsory powers are available.
My experience in the whole purchase and disposal processes for acquiring authorities and affected owners and occupiers respectively will assist in keeping any impact and potential losses to a minimum but ensuring that maximum benefit is obtained.
