Compulsory Purchase

We are Compulsory Purchase specialists able to offer in-depth robust advice in what is a highly complicated and often misunderstood process.

A Compulsory Purchase Order (CPO) is a legal mechanism used by government, councils and utility companies to assembly land and property without the consent of the owner to promote nationally significant infrastructure and regeneration projects. This can include airport expansion, electricity pylons and cables, housing developments, road and rail projects.

The law on Compulsory Purchase is complex and is derived from a variety of statue and case law built over more than 100 years. Kinney Green have the experience in dealing with all aspects of CPO and have negotiated compensation claims on behalf of claimants throughout London and the United Kingdom.

We act on behalf of investors, developers, owners, and tenants of both commercial premises and residential properties.

Mark Billige Simon-Kucher & Partners

We have used Kinney Green, and in particular Kim White, for over 20 years. From finding suitable premises; to negotiating lease renewals; to advising and guiding in protracted negotiations with difficult landlords, Kim never fails to secure the best deal. Reassuringly helpful, always professional, clearly respected in the market, deeply knowledgeable, and infectiously enthusiastic from beginning to end.

Kim White of Kinney Green did a first class job of finding exactly the right offices for us. He fully understood and exceeded our brief but most importantly was a pleasure to work with.

John Bradley Reynolds Colman Bradley LLP

Kinney Green’s detailed knowledge of the market and ability to show us only those properties that met our fairly restricted brief was impressive. Kim’s flexibility following a long hiatus between the start and recommencement of our search was also much appreciated and I would heartily recommend them.

As a growing business wanting to stay in the heart of Soho it's a real challenge to find good space, Kevin's quick research enabled us to grow within our existing space.
