Part I Claims

Do you own property near a new road, road improvement scheme or railway?

People who own property near such a scheme may be able to substantiate a claim resulting from the depreciation in the value of their property because of the unpleasant effects of noise, vibration, smell, fumes and smoke which arise from traffic using the new road and adjoining sections of altered highway. Claims can also be made should artificial lighting, including car headlights be intrusive. You must have owned the property at the time road alterations were completed in order to be eligible to claim.

At Lister Haigh, we have been dealing with compensation claims for the depreciation in value of property since claims of this type became admissible in 1973. Under the Land Compensation Act 1973 our fees for successfully claiming and negotiating compensation for you will be paid by the Highway Authority responsible for the works.
