Define what representation does and does not include
Each instruction identifies the location, people, questions and evidence to obtain. The report records what was observed or said, identifies open actions and separates factual notes from matters requiring a solicitor, surveyor, accountant or other appointed expert. You remain responsible for the investment decision and any contract.
Choose the support you need and build a short brief to discuss with Jack.

The first discussion establishes the objective, the people involved and the immediate decision. We then confirm whether I can help, what input is needed from other professionals and how updates will work. Any scope, fee or referral arrangement is explained before proceeding.
What to prepare
- Property or project summary
- Meeting or viewing details
- Questions and non-negotiable points
- Professional advisers already involved
- Preferred report and decision deadline
You do not need every document before saying hello. Start with a short outline; detailed or sensitive records should follow through an agreed secure route.
Representation is not a valuation, survey, legal review, regulated investment recommendation or authority to handle funds. Written authority and limits are agreed before attendance.
Your questions, answered
What should I send before a consultancy discussion?
Share the objective, current position, decision-makers and any immediate deadline. A concise brief helps establish whether coordination, UK representation or an introduction would be useful. You can explain the broad requirement first and agree a secure route for detailed information later.
How are deliverables and fees agreed?
The work should have a written scope setting out what will be done, what it depends on, reporting arrangements and fees. If the brief changes, the scope should be reviewed. An initial conversation does not appoint anyone to make investment decisions or enter into contracts for you.
Can consultancy run alongside a mortgage enquiry?
Yes, where the actual requirements fit, but the engagements remain distinct. Mortgage and protection advice is provided through Mortgage Force (UK) Ltd. Consultancy has its own agreed terms and does not replace regulated investment, legal or tax advice.
Scope described for initial enquiries. Any engagement is subject to a separate written agreement.
