Land compensation
If the use of a new or
altered road or other public works impacts on the enjoyment of your
property you may be entitled to compensation for the affect on the
value of your property.
The Land Compensation Act 1973
created a new right to compensation for the loss of the value of
interests in land caused by use of highways, airports and other
public works.
There are time limits for claims
and a complex array of statutory provisions which apply and we
therefore recommend anyone with a claim to take legal advice.
Hugh James has handled many
thousands of claims under the Land Compensation Act 1973 and offers
"no win no fee" funding in suitable cases.
