Compulsory Purchase at South Acton
Nearly all of the properties in phase 7.1 have now reached negotiated settlements. On many of these, our involvement saw increased settlements of over £100,000.
In phase 7.1 alone we were appointed by owners of 26 different properties. Across the entire estate, we are appointed by well over 50 properties and expect to represent over 100 by the time the estate is completed.
These will include properties in blocks such as at Ragley Close, Church Road, Clandon Close, Carisbrook, Charles Hocking House, Enfield Road, Frampton Court, Cheltenham Place and many others.
Unusually, the Compulsory Purchase Order was not made despite a very lengthy period of negotiations. Ordinarily, Compulsory Purchase Order processes begin at an earlier stage than has happened at South Acton. Our tough negotiating has we like to think contributed to agreements being reached without the need to make a Compulsory Purchase Order.
Once the revised phasing plan is announced, we shall update all clients.
