Dealing with the prospect of a CPO can be daunting; it’s not every day that you face the possibility of your property being compulsory acquired. It is therefore paramount that you obtain appropriate professional advice.

We regularly act for private land owners, businesses and individuals affected by compulsory purchase and can guide you through this complex process.

Having experience acting for scheme promoters and acquiring authorities not only means we understand the complexities of the process, but we also know their thought process.

As a claimant, you are entitled to have reasonable fees met by the acquiring authority. We seek fee undertakings at the outset to provide you with peace of mind.

What is the CPO process?
