## How we help.

We identify operator formats that could suit your property, prepare a factual summary and approach an agreed list. Existing agents, shared facilities and any limits on disclosure are discussed with you first.

## What matters at the property.

-   Owner authority, occupation and any sole or joint agency instruction.
-   Current planning use, conditions and physical format.
-   Fit-out works the property can accept and who would fund them.
-   Lease length, rent structure, rent-free period and security package the owner is prepared to discuss.
-   Evidence the landlord wants from an operator before heads of terms.
-   Shared access, parking, servicing, noise and operating-hour effects.
-   Property details that can be disclosed before the operator is named.

### What Rivermark checks

-   A concise landlord-approved property summary.
-   Plans, services, condition and access information.
-   Existing agent role and excluded contacts.
-   How the property could suit each operator approached.
-   Approaches made, response and next action.

### More on the property requirements

An operator search should begin with the building, not a long brand list. Height, access, services, neighbours, planning, fit-out burden and lease term decide which formats can make a credible proposal.

Rivermark defines those constraints with the landlord, accounts for any existing agency instruction and approaches a short list with an accurate property summary. For host venues, the conversation also covers shared parking, customer peaks and who controls the wider site.

-   A sector label does not show that an operator can fund or run the proposed use.
-   Premature contact can cut across an instructed agent or reveal a confidential plan.
-   Fit-out burden can outweigh a headline rent advantage.

## Tell us the essentials.

Share what you know so far. We can discuss the remaining details.

-   Property address, tenure and current occupation.
-   Existing agents, marketing and conversations.
-   Use, size, access, services and known restrictions.
-   Target lease shape and landlord works.
-   Operator formats to include or exclude.

## Common questions.

### Can you work beside an existing agent?

Sometimes. Rivermark reviews the instruction first and agrees a separate operator-search role that does not duplicate or cut across the agent's work.

### How many operators do you approach?

The number follows from the property and agreed format. A short, reasoned list is more credible than a mass email.

### Do you assess covenant strength?

Rivermark can collect the information the landlord requests, but financial and covenant judgement remains with the landlord and its advisers.
