how we can help
Olden Property is a firm of chartered surveyors and RICS registered Valuers, specialising in supporting individuals impacted by compulsory purchase. Director Tom Olden deals with every case personally. One point of contact, one source of knowledge throughout the process. From the beginning Tom will explain the important elements of the process in a clear and straightforward manner, thereby removing any confusion. It is imperative that homeowners and small businesses are given the same level of valuation and negotiation expertise as freeholders and large institutions; this is not always the case. Tom is passionate about ensuring his clients receive a fair deal.
If you are being affected by compulsory purchase, you need to take advice early in order to ensure you understand your rights to object and compensation. Any costs of taking advice should be paid for by the council or developer. If instructed to act on your behalf we would ensure this is confirmed in writing by the Council or Developer before work on your behalf is undertaken, you should not pay any surveying or legal fees in dealing with a compulsory purchase. Tom is already working for four leaseholders on the Princess and Hanover estates to ensure they get full compensation and advice buying back into the new development. Please get in touch with Tom for an initial free-of-charge consultation on your situation.
Regeneration in Cambridge
Cambridge Council is leading on a number of regeneration schemes aimed at improving housing, infrastructure, and community spaces, in areas including Davey Road, East Barnwell, Ekin Road, Fanshawe Road, and The Princess and Hanover Estates.
These areas, many of which are residential, have been targeted for development to address ageing housing stock and create more sustainable, energy-efficient homes. Similarly Fanshawe Road and the Princess and Hanover estates are undergoing changes that involve modernizing the environment, improving accessibility.
Although it would be difficult to argue with the motives of these Cambridge regeneration schemes, it is important that the homeowners who will potentially lose their properties, to make way for these developments, are adequately advised and compensated. Olden Property is currently advising a number of homeowners affected by these schemes. Particularly the valuation of the Property and the homeowners right to compensation.

The scheme focuses on redeveloping outdated housing and seeks to improve infrastructure and public spaces, making the area more accessible for residents.
