The Compulsory Purchase process can be involved and complex and extend over many years for larger schemes. The compensation issues that arise, together with other statutory notices that may be served, will normally require appropriate professional advice and representation for both parties.

Whether you are a local authority, statutory undertaker/utility exercising such powers or an affected owner/tenant, NPS can assist you throughout the whole process.

• Estimates for land and property compensation
