Compulsory land acquisition notices
Whether notice of the proposed compulsory acquisition comes as an unpleasant shock or you’ve been dreading a resumption for some time, we have the knowledge and experience to advise you on the best way forward in your circumstances – whether that be by objecting to the resumption, negotiating to maximise your compensation, or simply explaining your rights.

- Objecting to an unfair or unwanted resumption
- Coordinating consultants, including expert valuers, to prepare your claim for compensation
