Compensation Claims
Infrastructure, Utilities, Growth & Transport Links
Compulsory Purchase and Compensation can be a complex area with huge impacts for businesses affected by infrastructure and Utilities schemes. At Hardcastle Rural we have experience in handling a wide range of complex matters, from road and rail schemes to utilities and development plans.
Utilities Schemes & Bursts
The UK is crossed by an amazing range of water, gas, electric and telecoms pipes, cables and infrastructure. To facilitate growth these networks are ever expanding which often means crossing private property. Owners and Occupiers of affected property are able to reclaim the costs of employing a Surveyor to assist with negotiations.
Hardcastle Rural Surveyors specialise in claiming compensation for damages resulting from utilities schemes including both new and repair/replacement works. If you have been impacted by a recent scheme please get in touch.
Road & Rail Schemes
With a push from the Government for growth and new infrastructure projects across the north of England, the number of private landowners affected by these schemes continues to rise. The impact of a scheme on a business can be significant with potential additional costs of working around the construction works and a loss in trading due to limitations on the business. Affected parties should seek early advice on their position, it is often possible to mitigate against significant losses through accommodation works or advance payments of compensation.
