Early Acquisition Application
We can assist you with preparing and lodging your early acquisition application (application) by:
(a) identifying the best grounds that will increase your chances of securing an approval;
(b) obtaining any necessary third party information required for the application; and
(c) ensuring that only relevant information is included depending on the ground/s used to make the application;
The cost of our preparing the application is not reimbursed by the resuming authority, however once the application is approved, the resuming authority must reimburse your reasonable legal fees.
Once your application is approved, we will assist you with appointing a valuer who specialises in resumptions and acquisitions. You are also entitled to be reimbursed reasonable valuation fees as well as the reasonable fees of any other expert required to determine the highest and best use of your property.
After obtaining valuation advice, we will negotiate with the resuming authority on your behalf to obtain the best possible compensation which comprises the value of your land and fair disturbance items. Disturbance include the reimbursement of your reasonable legal and valuation fees as well as other costs you are entitled to claim under the Acquisitions of Land Act 1967.
If you cannot resolve your application, then ordinarily the property will be resumed when it is required for construction of the project. We have had only a handful of matters out of many hundreds completed over the past 14 years that have not settled after being approved. Our focus is to settle matters so that you can move on with your life unaffected by the requirement over your property.
If you have any questions, we are happy to have an obligation free discussion with you about your affected property and or business. Please feel free to call one of us directly or use the contact form and one of us will be in contact with you.
