Property Compensation for Compulsory Purchase

Our property compensation and compulsory purchase services are normally free to our clients because the acquiring body usually pays all professional fees. Our everyday involvement with local farm and residential markets provides us with the up-to-date information needed to negotiate compensation for compulsory purchase.

Case Studies
“Chalmers has a good reputation. The rural economy is in flux so sound advice is more important than it has been for some time.”
Client
Haddington from the air

Chalmers & Co were the principal rural land agents involved in compensation negotiations on behalf of farmers and homeowners affected by the upgraded A1 Expressway for sections before Haddington and beyond Dunbar. Our involvement began six years before the contract was awarded and continued after it opened. As a result, many of our clients have benefited from significant compensation awards in return for having their land compulsorily acquired.

Chalmers & Co compensation negotiation services include:
  • All aspects relating to compulsory purchase of land and buildings.
  • Preparation of accommodation works schedules.
  • Wayleave payments from service utilities.
  • Claims for:
    • Property Damage /Loss of crop
    • Loss of business income
    • Disturbance
    • Severance and Injurious Affection
