Licensing Due Diligence Report

This is the more serious decision-support product for situations where a concise summary is not enough and you want a clearer view of route risk, uncertainty, and next actions.

£79Risk-focused overviewOne-off due diligence productInformation service, not legal advice

Best for

Best for buyers, investors, agents, landlords refinancing, and conveyancers handling material decisions.

  • Buy-to-let buyers before a more material commitment.
  • Landlords refinancing or changing use where the consequence of being wrong is larger.
  • Letting agents or investors assessing instructions with more than one possible licensing route.

What is covered

  • Route-by-route licensing analysis
  • Risk-focused interpretation rather than summary signposting alone
  • More structured uncertainty framing
  • Source-backed next actions for higher-stakes decisions

Executive-summary style outputs

  • Executive-style summary
  • Risk and uncertainty note
  • Action-oriented due diligence support

Risk and uncertainty framing

  • Which routes look most relevant and why.
  • Which facts still depend on boundary, occupancy, or intended-use confirmation.
  • What still needs proving before a buyer, agent, or landlord should rely on the position.

What makes it different from the £29 review

  • More decision-oriented than the £29 review
  • More risk-focused and better suited to higher-stakes files
  • Built for due diligence rather than a quick written summary

Example use cases

Buy-to-let buyer

Useful when you want a clearer picture of licensing exposure before exchange or a final offer decision.

Landlord refinancing

Useful when licensing risk could affect lender questions, timing, or works planning.

Investor comparing areas

Useful when you want a more structured view of route risk, costs, and evidence gaps across candidate areas.

Letting agent assessing a new instruction

Useful when a property may have more than one possible licensing route and you need a clearer risk-focused note for the file.

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from the £29 review?

The premium report is designed for a more material decision. It goes beyond a concise summary and focuses more clearly on risk, uncertainty, and decision-oriented interpretation.

Who is it designed for?

It is aimed at buyers, investors, agents, landlords refinancing, and conveyancers who need a stronger due diligence note before committing more time or money.

Will it be live at launch immediately?

Not yet. The page and product architecture are ready, but the live operational workflow and fulfilment process still need to be turned on centrally.
