Supported by our network of offices throughout North & West Yorkshire, we keep a finger firmly on the pulse of land values across the region.
We provide valuation services to banks, private individuals and other professionals. We act on behalf of landowners and occupiers in preparing and negotiating claims resulting from Compulsory Purchase of land for road construction or other purposes and for easements for pipelines and service media. This can include compensation for loss of land, damage to crops, injurious affection and general disturbance. The acquiring authority generally pays our fees with no cost incurred by the landowner or occupier.
