Method note

How we assess possible uses

The practical checks and evidence needed before an arrangement is proposed.

Would this be worth pursuing?

A possible use only becomes a worthwhile opportunity when the space, demand, cost and operating conditions can work together. We assess those factors from the information available and identify what still needs proving.

When a figure would be meaningful

We are not publishing income figures while the payment basis and local evidence are being established. An illustrative use is not an offer for a particular property.

What needs checking

The permitted use, usable area, access, operating dates, local demand, work needed and who funds it all matter. A proposed payment also needs its fee basis, owner costs and tax position understood.

Before an arrangement starts

The parties agree the use, payment, period and responsibilities in writing, with specialist advice where needed.
