DevCity Report
DevCity Report
DevCity is the ultimate report for city property buyers, a bespoke report that investigates a property and its immediate vicinity in detail to prevent any costly mistakes during the purchase transaction.
The DevCity assessment is delivered in two stages: the first is a detailed analysis of the area surrounding the property that reveals any unbuilt planning consents and identifies land that could support future development.
The second stage, before contracts are exchanged, will include Freedom of Information requests on pending planning applications or pre-consultations from the local council that may prompt the buyer to reassess the area.
