HS2 affecting your property?

If HS2 construction or operation affects your land or property, we can help. We offer property schemes based on how close you are to the railway and how you’re affected.

If we agree to buy your property on behalf of the Secretary of State for Transport, we’ll guide you through what to expect. You can also track tour case from start to finish using our online portal.
