Land Acquisition
If someone says they have the authority to buy my land what can I do?
If your property is suddenly sought out in a compulsory land acquisition, we
strongly recommend that you seek prompt legal advice to ensure that your
rights and entitlements are fully protected. we can help. Our legal team will
work with you to assess the relevant issues and advise you frankly of the
legal options and avenues available to resolve your circumstances.
We understand that when a powerful and well-resourced organisation tries to
buy land, or part of it, for a public project without warning, many property
owners are left feeling helpless and intimidated.
We can help you by:
Negotiating with the company or government authority about the amount of
compensation paid to you and the terms of the contracts you enter into
Engaging valuation and other experts to advise you on the amount of
compensation you should be paid and other matters affecting your use of the
land
Preparing and making a claim for compensation.
As a landowner you may not be required to pay for legal advice. In the past,
Slater & Gordon have entered into agreements for the acquiring authority to
pay legal costs incurred on behalf of landowners. |
