Resumption Experts VIC assists property owners affected by compulsory acquisition across Victoria.
What Is Compulsory Acquisition?
When land is acquired for infrastructure or public purposes in Victoria, property owners are entitled to compensation under the Land Acquisition and Compensation Act 1986 (VIC).
Under Victorian law, property owners may be entitled to compensation including market value, special value, severance, disturbance and relocation costs, loss attributable to disturbance, and reasonable legal, valuation and professional fees.
How to get help
Compulsory acquisition can be complex and disruptive. To ensure you receive fair compensation and all entitlements available under Victorian law, obtaining advice early is critical.
We provide expert property resumption advice and independent valuation services. Early representation - particularly at the Notice of Intention to Acquire stage - can materially influence the final outcome. Compensation outcomes depend on how the claim is prepared, supported by valuation evidence and negotiated with the acquiring authority.
If you have received a Notice of Intention to Acquire or believe your property may be affected by a current Victorian infrastructure or redevelopment project, early advice is essential. Contact Resumption Experts VIC today and ensure your compensation claim is in the right hands from the start.
