Compulsory Purchase and Compensation

Valuing land and property for compulsory purchase compensation is a step into a hypothetical world – where land is taken, where some land is taken and no land taken, with its own language and terms - severance and injurious affection - with potential for ransom, and planning assumptions; and its own set of case law dictating what valuers are to do.  Valuers are increasingly expected to get their valuation right first time.  This is a thorough review of the valuation best practice and the underlying methodologies in respect of compulsory purchase and its compensation.
