Land acquisition solution
A complete ecosystem for all land referencing needs
Tailored service
A successful infrastructure project hinges on the smooth and efficient acquisition of necessary legal interests in the land. TerraQuest ensures streamlined land acquisition, minimizing costs and risks.
With expertise in risk management, our tailored land referencing service identifies and mitigates potential obstacles early on. Our rigorous quality control procedures guarantee technical excellence from start to finish. Specialising in land and planning services, TerraQuest employs proprietary systems to handle large volumes of land data. The land referencing service identifies landowners and occupiers within a specified area usually defined by a redline.
Prescribed schedules and plans
This information is utilised to produce prescribed schedules and plans to support the consultation process or applications under compulsory purchase orders (CPO) and development consent orders (DCO), Parliamentary Bills applications under the Planning Act, Transport and Works Act, and Town and Country Planning Act.
TerraQuest works very closely with key stakeholders - particularly legal, environmental and engineering consultants, to ensure interdependencies between each discipline are fully understood, and as a result, costs are controlled without compromising diligence and best practice.
