If a new road was built very close to your home, it could reduce its value.

Under the Land Compensation Act 1973, property owners affected in this way have the right to claim compensation for the reduction in value of their home as a result of noise, dust, light pollution, etc. caused by use of the new road.

However, the claims process is not always straightforward and the highway authority responsible for the new road scheme will appoint a Chartered Surveyor to represent its interests - the success or failure of your claim will depend on the expertise and experience of your representative.

At Samuel Rose, we have specialised in this type of compensation claim for many years. We have negotiated many millions of pounds worth of compensation for past clients and are currently acting on behalf of thousands more clients throughout the United Kingdom.

We provide a professional and friendly service for our clients - taking charge of the complex administration involved in dealing with a claim and representing their interests during the lengthy, and often difficult, negotiations with the highway authority's representative.

If you would like us to act on your behalf, please email or telephone us on Freephone 0800 220982.
