✈️ Gatwick Northern Runway – could your property be affected?

The Gatwick Northern Runway Project is moving forward, and homeowners, businesses and landowners around the airport may be wondering what it means for their property.

Depending on your location, the scheme could involve:

• Acquisition of land or property
• Temporary possession during construction
• Changes to access or road layouts
• Construction disturbance
• Safeguarding restrictions
• Business relocation
• Potential compensation

Being affected by the project does not necessarily mean your property will be compulsorily purchased, but it is important to understand your position and the rights you may have.

We’ve put together a new guide explaining the Gatwick Northern Runway Project, compensation and what property owners should be considering.

👉 Read the full guide on our website – link in bio.

If you’ve received correspondence about the Gatwick Northern Runway or are concerned about how your property could be affected, please get in touch.

✈️ Received a Heathrow Land Referencing Letter?

If you’ve recently received a letter from Heathrow about its proposed expansion, don’t panic.

A Land Referencing Letter or Land Interest Questionnaire (LIQ) does not automatically mean your property will be compulsorily purchased.

It is part of the planning process to identify everyone with a legal interest in land that may be affected.

Our latest blog explains:

✔️ Why you’ve received the letter
✔️ What the Land Interest Questionnaire is
✔️ Whether you need to complete it
✔️ What it could mean for your property
✔️ How to protect your position from the outset

If your property could be affected by Heathrow’s proposed third runway, obtaining independent professional advice early can make a significant difference.

Has your property been affected by a proposed Compulsory Purchase Order (CPO)?

Many homeowners, business owners and landowners don’t realise that they may have the right to object before a CPO is confirmed.

If you’ve received a letter, safeguarding notice or heard that a scheme could affect your property, it’s important to understand your options as early as possible.

Our latest blog covers:
✔ Can you object to a CPO?
✔ Who can object?
✔ What are valid grounds for objection?
✔ What happens at a public inquiry?
✔ When should you seek professional advice?

The earlier you understand the process, the better placed you’ll be to protect your interests.

Need a property valuation for HMRC, probate or tax purposes?

Many people rely on estate agent estimates or online valuation tools when dealing with Capital Gains Tax, Inheritance Tax, probate or gifting property to family members.

The problem? HMRC can challenge property valuations – and they have their own valuation surveyors who review submissions.

A valuation for tax purposes often requires much more than an opinion of today’s value. It may involve assessing the property’s value at a historic date, analysing comparable evidence from the time and providing a robust explanation of the methodology used.

That’s why instructing an RICS Registered Valuer can be so important.

At Olden Property, we regularly undertake valuations for:

✔ Capital Gains Tax
✔ Inheritance Tax
✔ Probate
✔ Gifts and transfers
✔ Company restructuring
✔ Trust and estate planning

Our reports are supported by detailed market evidence and prepared in accordance with RICS standards.

Could Heathrow expansion affect your property?

Many homeowners and businesses focus on compensation, but one of the most important decisions can be whether to object to a proposed Compulsory Purchase Order (CPO) in the first place.

An objection may help protect your interests, highlight development potential, challenge the extent of land required and ensure your concerns are properly considered before any CPO is confirmed.

At Olden Property, we advise property owners affected by compulsory purchase schemes, helping them understand their options and protecting their position throughout the process.

If your property may be affected by Heathrow expansion or another infrastructure project, early professional advice can make a significant difference.

Lease Extensions: Waiting Could Cost You

Thinking of waiting for leasehold reform? It might not pay off.

Your lease is shortening every year and costs rise fast:

The risk of waiting:
• Higher premiums over time
• Unclear reform timing and detail
• No guarantee you benefit

Act now = certainty
Wait = uncertainty

If your lease is below ~90 years (especially near 80), it’s worth reviewing now.

📩 Get in touch for advice.

Missing Freeholder? You May Still Be Able to Extend Your Lease.

Many leaseholders assume that if their freeholder cannot be found, extending the lease isn’t possible. In fact, you may still be able to proceed by applying to the County Court for a vesting order, allowing the extension to move forward without the landlord.

If you’re facing a missing landlord situation, it’s important to understand the process and obtain the right professional advice.

80 Years. The Lease Extension Tipping Point.

Once your lease drops below 80 years, marriage value becomes payable and the premium can rise sharply.

Example:
82 years → £12–15k
78 years → £20–30k+

It also affects mortgageability and saleability.

Although reforms propose removing marriage value, this is not yet in force. The 80-year rule still applies.

If you’re at 82–85 years, now is the time to act.
