Is there a timeframe that one can own a property before there’s a compulsory purchase order?
I have a query regarding the power of a local authority to put a Compulsory Purchase Order on land that was in my late father’s name. My father died in 2002, intestate. We have taken out a grant of administration on his estate only now, of which there is a parcel of town centre land that the local authority has made several failed attempts to put a CPO on.
The short reply to your query is that there is no time frame or period for which you are required to have owned a property before this action can be taken by a local authority. As you are probably aware, a CPO is the legal process available to certain statutory bodies to take land or property without the owner’s consent for the purposes of development or to enable those statutory bodies to perform their functions and duties.
Once the CPO has been confirmed, the landowner will have an opportunity to submit a claim for compensation in respect of the land being acquired. There are various heads of compensation under which the landowner is entitled to submit a claim for compensation in the case of a CPO, and your valuer and or solicitor will advise you in that regard.
