• Do I have to accept the authority's first offer?

  “No. You're generally entitled to seek independent valuation advice before negotiating. In many jurisdictions, the acquiring authority may reimburse the reasonable costs of your valuer, so check this with your lawyer early.”

• How is an easement valued?

  “An easement is valued on how it affects your property. We assess the area affected, restrictions on how you can use or develop the land, and any effect on its appeal to buyers. This applies to powerlines, pipelines, rights of way, and underground tunnels.”
