Advice & Contacts

The information contained in this website is not a substitute for professional advice. If you think your property may be the subject of a Compulsory Purchase Order (CPO) you should seek advice from a professionally qualified person such as a chartered surveyor or solicitor, who should be able to advise on your rights and also act on your behalf if appropriate. It is best to seek professional help as early as possible.  The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors operates a Compulsory Purchase Helpline which can be contacted on 0870 333 1600. This helpline puts you in touch with experienced chartered surveyors in the local area who will provide up to 30 minutes of free advice.
