Property and market research
Rivermark researches properties, locations and potential uses to help clients and advisers decide what to pursue.
How we help.
- Agree the question, area and research period.
- Gather property details and relevant public records, with source links.
- Compare findings on the same basis so the differences are easy to see.
- Explain what remains unknown and what needs specialist advice.
Who this is for
- A developer testing whether a search area contains enough sites before direct owner work.
- A landlord comparing occupier formats for an unusual building.
- An adviser who needs a dated property list without handing over the client relationship.
Typical enquiries
- A location and competing-property screen before an operator search.
- A development-site longlist with planning and ownership sources.
- A landlord audience review before marketing starts.
What a research finding should show
The finding should return to the question you asked. This example shows how the available information and a missing measurement affect a property decision.
| Report entry | Example | What follows |
|---|---|---|
| Question | Could a building accommodate the proposed operation? | Set the minimum usable space, access and operating requirements before comparing properties. |
| Source and date | An agent's particulars and the available floor plan provide an initial description. | Keep the document reference, its date and the date reviewed beside the finding. Record later owner or agent responses separately. |
| Finding and unknown | The advertised area appears sufficient, but the usable layout or clear height remains unmeasured. | Keep the property as an initial lead. A measured plan and the relevant specialist's review are needed before relying on the layout. |

Before work starts
We discuss the property requirement, the work and the fees with you. Those are agreed in writing before Rivermark starts work or contacts anyone about a property.
Request a callCommon questions.
How current is the information?
The report states a cut-off date and keeps source links. Property availability and public records can change after that date.
Can the research be updated?
Yes. We agree what needs refreshing and the date the update should cover.
Is it a planning, legal or valuation report?
No. It organises the property material and directs those questions to the appointed specialist.
