These guides summarise the property schemes available to people whose land or property may be affected by the construction or operation of the HS2 railway.

HS2 Phase One will run between London and the West Midlands, Phase 2a from the West Midlands to Crewe and Phase 2b from Crewe to Manchester and the West Midlands to Leeds.

You should not apply for any of the schemes available until you have read the guidance and application forms for a particular scheme, which can be found on our dedicated property compensation pages.
