These Regulations increase the amount of home loss payments in England which may be payable under the Land Compensation Act 1973.

It increases the maximum amount of a home loss payment from £15,000 to £31,000 and the minimum amount from £1,500 to £3,100. Regulation 3(2) increases the amount of a home loss payment in other cases from £1,500 to £3,100. The increases do not apply in cases where displacement occurs before the date in which these Regulations come into force (regulation 3(3)).
