Owners who will sell, but never advertise. We hold the plans, the price and the key — the address arrives after we have spoken.
How we workPlate 03 — procedure
We sit down and write the brief: quarter, light, ceiling height, the school run — and the budget, honestly.
You leave with: a written brief
We search the index and the sealed register, walk the buildings ourselves and send four to six files.
You leave with: 4–6 complete files
Out of hours, with the owner present. We negotiate on your side and stay to the notary signature.
You leave with: the keys, or the next list
