Possible deliverable: A criteria brief and a list of points to check before an acquisition.
EVERY DECISION NEEDS PERSPECTIVE
Find clarity.
Decide with purpose.
A property project rarely raises just one question. Establish the context, constraints and useful information before choosing what comes next.

FICTIONAL CASE EXPLAINED

IMAGINED DELIVERABLE EXCERPT
Two options. The same criteria.
| To examine | Adapt | Relocate |
|---|---|---|
| Everyday use | Which spaces can be adapted? | Which spaces must be provided? |
| Access | What needs checking on site? | Which criteria should guide the search? |
| Continuity | How can the work be organised? | How can the transition be prepared? |
Sources, costs and assumptions still need documenting. This grid starts a conversation; it does not decide for you.
- The constraint
- Imagined scenario: a small business is deciding whether to adapt its premises or relocate. Budget and market data are not provided.
- The choice to explain
- Compare uses, access, business continuity and missing information. Make no financial conclusion without evidence.
- The deliverable and its limits
- A comparison grid with sources to complete, assumptions and questions for advisers. Neither a valuation nor legal advice.
Illustrative example: no real client, completed work or measured outcome is claimed.
THE IMAGINED PRACTICE
Listening before
recommending.
Repère illustrates a practice where the first conversation clarifies the situation, everyone’s role and the decision ahead. The scope is then agreed before any study begins.
- One contact to define the enquiry
- Information examined and limitations explained
- Findings to discuss, not a decision imposed
Fictional practice. No real expert, accreditation, client or investment outcome is presented.
