Compulsory Acquisition of Land Sydney

Property valuation becomes important in court whenever a property’s market worth becomes a matter of legal dispute, such as in the event that you are subject to a compulsory acquisition of land by the NSW Government . When it comes to property valuation, you can trust the IPV team who specialise in compulsory land acquisitions in Sydney..

Compulsory Land Acquisitions in Sydney by NSW State Govt.

Recently announced new infrastructure projects have prompted The New South Wales Government to initiate a significant number of compulsory acquisition notices of land across Sydney. Under the compulsory acquisition process, different types of compensation are offered to homeowners that may include the market value of their property, removalist costs, stamp duty on new properties purchased, legal and valuation costs. The initial offer may be below market values.
