Compulsory purchase is where the government, local council or utility company has the legal right to buy or take rights over your private property, if it falls within a public or private construction project, e.g. airport expansions, housing developments, sewer, water or gas pipe schemes, and rail or road building projects.

If you are, or think you might be, affected by a compulsory purchase or statutory scheme why not call +44 (0)870 333 1600 ?
