The catchment, measured
A real drive-time — not a circle on a map — with the census profile of every household inside it.
Location & Market Intelligence — £1,200 to £2,500
The site is the biggest bet most small businesses place — and the catchment, the pipeline, the rates and the competition are all on the record before you sign.
This report puts a number where "the area feels busy" used to be.
The street will change —
the portal already says how.
A real drive-time — not a circle on a map — with the census profile of every household inside it.
Twenty-four months of applications: fit-outs, changes of use, anchors arriving or leaving.
The unit's rateable value against every comparable neighbour — is the bill defensible?
Who already serves the catchment, at what density — full and free look identical from the pavement.
Between "the area feels busy" —
and a number a lender accepts.
The address — or the two or three you are choosing between — and the decision you are facing: sign, walk away, or renegotiate.
Catchment drawn, portals read, rating list compared, competitors counted. Two to three weeks depending on how many sites are in play.
One document per site: the catchment, the pipeline, the rates position and the density, every figure cited to its source and dated.
An hour on a call. If the record says walk away, the report will have already said it in writing.
£1,200 for one site with a straightforward catchment; up to £2,500 where several sites are compared or the catchment crosses several authorities. You get the exact figure, fixed, before any work starts.
What this is not. It is not a property valuation and not investment advice — it reads the public record around a site, it does not price the building. And it will not predict footfall; it counts what is there and what is coming, which is what the guesswork was standing in for.
