Verification before travel
Every file we hand you carries a verification date and the survey or land registry check behind that date. Region, plot size, utility status and access road are recorded together, so each line on the page can be traced back to a document.
Property information is subject to verification and may change without notice. We re-run the ledger in the week before your viewing trip and tell you first if anything has moved.
Method
You know what happens before any viewing trip: brief, dossier, travel, handover. Every stage leaves a written record you keep.
01
You describe the region, plot size, access needs and the ceiling for the purchase plus fees. We reply with a written brief, a note on which districts fit it, and the fee for your case. Outcome-linked prices are never published up front; every fee is quoted per case after the brief is reviewed.
02
Each candidate is checked against the land registry, utility connection records and the access road. You get a dossier where every line carries a status word and a survey date rather than an icon.
03
We plan a two or three day route across the regions in the dossier and travel with you. Survey notes and photographs are shared the same day, with a short comparison against the original brief. Property information is subject to verification and may change without notice.
04
You receive the negotiation position, the outstanding documents and the order in which they are signed. If no candidate fits the brief, it is revised and the shortlist is rebuilt.
Administrative notes
Four administrative items decide whether a shortlisted country house or cottage is worth your travel time. Each one is written into the verification ledger with a status word and a date.
Property information is subject to verification and may change without notice.
01
We compare the cadastral parcel number against the state land cadastre and read the designated purpose: housing, gardening or farming. Building rights follow that purpose, so a mismatch is flagged long before a deposit is discussed.
02
Gas line, grid connection and water are confirmed with the supply operator rather than taken from the seller's description. Where a connection is planned instead of present, the ledger says so plainly.
03
Boundary and technical survey reports are requested with their issue dates. An older survey is not a defect, but it tells you that a re-measurement may be needed at handover.
04
A local lawyer reads the ownership extract, checks encumbrances, easements and any lease registered on the plot, and attends the handover at the notary.
Next step
