answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/01/2019 answer text <p>For eligibility purposes for the HS2 statutory and non-statutory property compensation schemes (including the Rural Support Zone), the Government’s policy is that unless the owner is also the occupier of that property, they cannot qualify to apply under any of the schemes. Occupation is a long-standing requirement under the Government’s wider property compensation framework.</p><p> </p><p>The only exception within HS2 relates to the non-statutory Need to Sell property compensation scheme, if the person seeking to sell the property to the Secretary of State is classed as a ‘reluctant landlord’. This is where the person can demonstrate they had a compelling reason to sell at the time they moved out of the property in order to avoid or escape a situation of unreasonable burden, and that letting the property could provide only temporary relief from this burden, and they do not own another home.</p><p> </p><p>The Government has no plans to alter these arrangements.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Wealden answering member printed Ms Nusrat Ghani question first answered 14/01/2019 11:10:21 answering member 4460 label Biography information for Ms Nusrat Ghani
