At Tate Woodburn, we provide clear, robust and fully compliant Compulsory Purchase valuations for property owners affected by compulsory purchase orders (CPOs) across London and the wider UK. Our role is to ensure that you receive fair and accurate compensation when land or property is acquired by a public authority under statutory powers.

Compulsory purchase can be a complex and unsettling process. Whether your property is being acquired for transport infrastructure, regeneration schemes, utilities, or other public works, it is essential that your valuation is prepared by experienced professionals who understand both the legal framework and the commercial realities of the property market.

Expert Valuation Advice You Can Rely On

Our Chartered Surveyors have extensive experience acting for property owners, occupiers, developers and investors affected by compulsory purchase. We prepare valuations in accordance with the Land Compensation Act, the Compensation Code, and relevant case law, ensuring that all heads of claim are properly assessed and evidenced.

We advise on compensation for:

  • The market value of land and buildings
  • Disturbance and relocation costs
  • Loss of profits or goodwill
  • Severance and injurious affection
  • Temporary possession and advance payments

Each valuation is bespoke, reflecting the specific circumstances of the property, its use, and the impact of the acquisition. Our local market knowledge of London allows us to provide well-supported assessments that stand up to scrutiny.

Supporting You Through the Entire Process

In addition to preparing formal valuations, Tate Woodburn supports clients throughout the compulsory purchase process. We work closely with legal advisers and negotiating surveyors, providing clear documentation to assist with negotiations and, where required, reference to the Upper Tribunal (Lands Chamber).

We pride ourselves on explaining complex issues in plain English. From the initial notice stage through to settlement, we ensure you understand your rights, the basis of your compensation, and the options available to you.
