Compulsory Purchase Orders

A Compulsory Purchase Order (CPO) is an order made by an acquiring authority such as a local authority, highways agency or utility company, giving them the legal right to buy or take land or property from you, without your consent, for the benefit of the public.

There are strict procedures set out in the statute to adhere to when obtaining a CPO including the provision of compensation. If you are under threat from a CPO, WBW Solicitors have lawyers with specialist experience in advising on the legal rights and obligations in the process.

Given the nature of the CPO process, it is important to act fast to protect your position, mitigate your loss and secure compensation.
