At Sawyer Fielding, we are Chartered Surveyors and RICS Registered Valuers who specialise in helping resident owners and landlords of residential properties affected by the threat of Compulsory Purchase
On 18th February 2026, the law changed on landlords entitlements, reducing the Statutory loss payment from 7.5% of the Market Value to 2.5% and reducing the cap from £75,000 to £25,000. Some acquiring authorities are now using the new law and some are honoring assurances made based on the old law. Our video was made prior to the legal change.
We shall therefore advise landlords on a case by case basis.
