Shop Comparable Evidence Service

17/08/2025

Aug 2025. On LinkedIn i posted this disruptive idea. For sourcing comparable evidence, there are many sources amongst which Costar considers itself a leader. However, C is pricey because, as I understand, this may be wrong, one cannot limit a subscription to a particular type of property or location. I have a massive database of shop details (England and Wales), to which I’ve added for decades.

I am considering making the information available generally on a website that would list the address of every property, the date, and other useful information. Other surveyors / agents might also like their information listed. Anyone wanting details would pay a nominal fee for each item, no more than £1 with a discount for regular purchases, and where information is provided by contributor surveyors/agents I’d split the fee. The site would enable payment on-line and the information emailed direct within 24-48 hours. (For an additional fee, the Land Registry could be searched for lease dates so that an inquirer could obtain a copy lease direct.)

Obviously, there is a lot for me to think about, but at this stage all I’d like to know please is whether you’d be interested.
