Compulsory Purchase and Acquisition

Many properties/land can be affected by compulsory acquisition in one form or another, be it for road widening, laying of water pipes, electricity lines, etc. We can provide assistance in dealing with the whole process of such an acquisition, including representations to the acquiring authority, negotiations for accommodation works, determination and negotiation of claims for capital and disturbance items. It is important to remember that under compulsory acquisition situations, your professional fees are normally paid by the acquiring authority.

Matters covered include:

• Road/rail schemes
• Laying of pipelines
• Installation of electricity lines
• Negotiation for wayleaves/easements
