Compensation
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 reasonable professional fees are normally paid by the acquiring authority. We also offer advice regarding compensation for existing overhead power lines, pylons and fibre optic cables.
Matters covered include:
- Road/rail schemes
- Laying of pipelines and cables
- Wind Farms
- Installation of electricity lines
- Negotiation for wayleaves/easements
