## Finding and comparing sites.

What you receive, and where you decide.

**An agreed brief**

We confirm the area, property requirements, budget and timing with you. The work and fees are agreed in writing before the search starts.

**Properties to compare**

We find potential sites and set out the available details, asking terms, fit with your brief and information still missing.

**Contact about your choices**

You select the sites to pursue. We agree the approach, contact the owner or agent and report their response.

## What makes a site work?

The property needs to support the way you will use it.

-   ### The space
    
    Usable area, layout, height, services and any work needed before opening.
    
-   ### The location
    
    Customer and staff access, deliveries, parking and neighbouring uses.
    
-   ### The commitment
    
    Purchase or rent, lease length, running costs and your target date.
    

## Land, buildings or a host venue.

Each brings different questions to the search.

### Room to build around the project.

Usable area, access, services and the surrounding uses shape a land search. We compare the available information with what your project needs.

-   Usable footprint
-   Access and services
-   Planning context

### Space that works from the inside out.

The floor area is only the beginning. Structure, clear height, access, services and lease terms decide whether premises can support the way you will use them.

-   Layout and structure
-   Customer and staff access
-   Tenure and occupation

### A new use alongside an existing venue.

Clubs and other venues may have land or buildings for a new operator. We look at the space, shared facilities, opening hours and the agreement the owner can offer.

-   Shared facilities
-   Operating hours
-   Owner agreement

## Before you commit.

Our comparisons use the property information available. We flag gaps and questions for further investigation.

Your solicitor, surveyor and other appointed advisers assess legal terms, condition, value, planning and technical suitability before a commitment.

## Start with what you know.

Send the area, property requirements and timing. Include any sites you have already considered.
