Compulsory Purchase, Land Acquisition and Compensation form a major part of our business. We have built up a wealth of experience within the business and represent many clients throughout the Midlands conurbation whose properties have been affected by either direct compulsory acquisition or the acquisition of Wayleaves and Eastments by utility companies.

In addition to representing the interests of landowners and occupiers against entry by water, gas and other utility companies, we have built up considerable expertise in dealing with properties affected by overhead power lines, the compensation provisions for which are governed in the Electricity Act 1989. We are developing a niche market in this area and our efforts have in some instances led to the removal of overhead power lines affecting development sites and failing that, the settlement of compensation claims where sites and existing properties have been blighted by the power lines.
