Experts determined that additional compensation and compensation for losses to land plot owners should be within 30-50% of the value of the land plot and real estate objects located on it. Taking into account the expert opinion, the structure of damages is proposed, which should be included in the purchase price, which includes: costs of moving, preparation of documents, costs of arranging a new home, compensation for taxes and fees during the purchase of an alternative object of real estate, the cost of fruit and berries plantations and crops.
