Pre-pack Administration
Mar 2009 – My letter published in Estates Gazette, March 2009:“Whilst I agree with Anthony Ratcliffe there seems precious little difference between “phoenix” company and “pre-packs”, I do think landlords could do both themselves and the shop property sector a service by adopting a more robust approach to requests for assignment. Generally, alienation criteria in a lease […]
Shop Comparable Evidence Service
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 […]

Aug 2025. According to LinkedIn, the analysis for response so far is 42% London area, and companies including CBRE, Savills, RICS. Interestingly, the RICS is taking an interest. Costar’s sub is at least £6000 (ex VAT) [subject to any discount for volume, I don’t know] per user, with each user monitored via log-in ID and […]

Aug 2025 – I’ve been checking Costar UK figures and claims. I daresay someone from C will correct if this is wrong. C’s accounts for y/e 2023, turnover £53,948,605. According to C’s promotion on YouTube it has 9500 agents. I doubt there are 9500 agents in UK. I would think that what C means by […]

Aug 2025. I’ve registered the domain: comparableevidence.com To begin with, I’ve asked my site developer to launch a site modelled on the appearance and layout of my private access sites. The appearance isn’t trendy as more important it’s designed for users. I have a global search which doesn’t require match search terms that the user […]
Shop Comparable Evidence Service – update 5
Sep 2025. Comparable Evidence site update. I don’t know how others do their websites – unless I’m told – but I’ve always done the look and written all content for mine. My first site used NetObjects Fusion until a developer told me it used proprietory code so if anything went wrong then I’d have to […]

Nov 2025 Shop Property Comparable evidence website. Thank you again to the >2000 (on LinkedIn) that expressed interested in my idea. So I am sorry to disappoint, but I am not going to pursue the idea, as I envisaged. Instead, I shall provide all the information free of charge – no payment, no log-in, no […]
Statement of Agreed Facts and Comparable Evidence
Sep 2025. On referral and in the process of agreeing a Statement of Agreed Facts, it appears – in my experience – to be taken for granted that the SOAF will contain proforma of so-called comparable evidence even if neither party’s surveyor has had any involvement with the evidence premises. And not only reliance on […]
