Major schemes may well have to deal with some recalcitrant owners including those under an actual or perceived statutory obligation to extract ‘best value’, even if it means holding a development to ransom.
We have a strong track record in negotiating real solutions for land owners, occupiers, developers and investors, with and without the use of CPO power, including those who are having interests compulsorily acquired.
This is achieved by having a comprehensive understanding of the statutory compensation code and its evolving interpretation as well as a very balanced and realistic commercial appreciation of the facts of each case.
From this position of strength we are able to firmly advocate each client’s case to seek an agreement. If needs be, we are able to advocate this in either the political or a judicial environment (as an expert witness).
We have a particular skill in resolving contentious cases, where initial expectations may be particularly divergent. Here we have consistently achieved results and offer excellent value for money in terms of the cost of our services.
