03 / ADVISORY
Independent advice on what a piece of land is, what it can carry and what should happen next.
What advisory means at WENS.
Advisory is the part of the business with no inventory attached to it. A client asks whether a parcel is worth buying, what a site can carry, or what should happen next — and we answer without a position in the outcome.
The output is a document, not a conversation. Every mandate ends with something written down that a client can take to a bank, a partner or a board. Where a question calls for a regulated opinion — legal title, tax, a formal valuation — we say so and work alongside the professional qualified to give it.
Capabilities
The work we take on within advisory, and what each one involves.
- 01
Land acquisition advisory
Survey reconciliation, site verification and a written proceed or walk-away recommendation, with the title chain, encumbrance and litigation search coordinated with the relevant legal professionals.
- 02
Development feasibility
Highest and best use, yield modelling, approval pathway, cost plan and a phased cash-flow projection.
- 03
Real estate investment & development advisory
Portfolio construction across corridors and asset types, entry pricing and hold-period modelling, assessed against available information and market conditions.
- 04
Transaction support
An indicative market view, transaction structuring and support through partition, succession or dispute matters — in coordination with the relevant legal, tax and valuation professionals.
The sequence
Every mandate runs through the same steps in the same order. It is the order that matters.
- 01
Scope
What decision the advice has to support, and by when.
- 02
Record
Revenue records, survey numbers, sale deeds and encumbrance pulled and reconciled, with the legal reading of them taken from a qualified professional.
- 03
Site
Physical inspection against the record — access, extent, encroachment and boundary.
- 04
Analysis
Comparables, yield, cost and approval pathway modelled against your brief.
- 05
Report
A written recommendation with the evidence attached and the risks named.
Four mandates, four documents.
Every advisory engagement ends in something written down that a client can take to a bank, a partner or a board.
- 01
Land acquisition advisory
Before you buy: whether the seller can convey what they are offering, whether the extent on the ground matches the record, and whether anything is pending against it.
What you get
- Title chain traced through original deeds
- Encumbrance certificate for the maximum available period
- Survey reconciliation against revenue records
- Litigation and attachment search
- Written buy or walk-away recommendation

Development feasibility
What a site can carry, what it will cost to get there, and what it should return. Built to a standard that survives a lender’s review.

- Yield model against the permissible envelope
- Approval pathway with dated milestones

- Hold-period and exit modelling
