If you live near Southampton Airport, you might be experiencing increased noise, or other environmental factors, and have concerns about the effect on property values, due to the operation of the newly extended runway, now is the time to act. Claims are now able to be submitted and affected residents may be entitled to compensation.
As solicitors specialising in Land Compensation Act claims, Hugh James is available to provide advice to worried homeowners on protecting your rights and addressing any potential impact on your property’s value.
Hugh James is a top 100 UK law firm with a specialist team that handles claims under Part 1 of the Land Compensation Act 1973 (“the Act”).
Part 1 of the Act allows homeowners to claim compensation for diminution in value caused to their property, as a result of physical factors brought about by the use of new, or in certain circumstances altered, public works (i.e. aerodromes and public roads).
We have over 17 years experience dealing with Part 1 claims. During this time, we have acted for claimants in complex matters that have centred on interpretation of particular provisions of the Act, in addition to seeking compensation. We have acted for over 750 claimants in airport and road claims and have had several matters determined in the Upper Tribunal (Lands Chamber), and the Court of Appeal.
We have successfully recovered over £4.6m in compensation for homeowners impacted by airport development including the second runway at Manchester Airport and the runway extension at London Southend Airport.
