What's at stake
What is really at stake
- 01A premium or contribution is assessed and issued.The figure is treated as final because it came from an authority.
- 02Yet assessments rest on assumptions about valuation, land use, density or timing — and where those assumptions are wrong or the basis has changed, there is often a legitimate route to engage.
In plain words
Land Premium Revaluation and Local Authority Negotiation
Advisory and representation on land premium, conversion charge and contribution assessments — reviewing the basis of assessment, identifying grounds to engage, and preparing and pursuing representations to the authority.
