SAMPLE REPORT
One location.
The full picture.
Explore the recommendation, the local context and the checks that matter before signing a lease.
Actions
Four prioritised checks turn the analysis into a lease decision.
Resolve what could change the lease decision first.
Check marks organise this visit only; they do not verify facts.- 1
Compare the measured plan and written use confirmation across takeaway-led, balanced and sit-in formats.
Why it changes the decision
A workable layout and confirmed permissions would allow format selection. Inadequate preparation space, circulation or permissions could require redesign or rejection; lease commitment should remain withheld until resolved.
- 2
Observe the frontage during morning, lunchtime and weekend periods; walk the approach and test the proposed customer occasions.
Why it changes the decision
Consistent convenient passing trade would strengthen the case for fast service. Weak frontage flow would shift attention to proven local repeat visits and destination appeal, or undermine the site if neither is evident.
- 3
Compare nearby coffee shops on menus, prices, opening hours, service speed, food and seating.
Why it changes the decision
A genuine gap in speed, opening periods or food and seating could support a differentiated offer. Strong overlap would weaken the commercial case even if the residential catchment remains attractive.
- 4
Review asking rent, measured area, rates, service charges, repairs and fit-out with the draft lease.
Why it changes the decision
Verified occupancy terms would make an affordability review meaningful. Unfavourable liabilities or weak comparable support would justify renegotiation or withdrawal rather than relying on the area benchmark.
