Compulsory Acquisition

We provide valuation advice to landowners in regards to Compulsory Acquisition of property by government agencies to help you obtain fair compensation. We do not act on behalf of acquiring authorities.

Our valuers are experienced in undertaking valuations for compulsory acquisition purposes and are fully aware of the relevant Commonwealth and State / Territory legislation including the important principles of;

Market value;
Special value;
Loss attributable to disturbance;
Loss attributable to severance; and
Solatium.

Compulsory or voluntary acquisition may be required by government agencies for such things as road widening, new freeways, new and expanded rail corridors, power distribution, gas and water pipelines, and others.
