The problem LANDSCOPE solves<\/h2>\n<p>Most bad property deals do not come from the price, but from missing information. A plot in the REN, an easement that cuts the footprint, an index that does not allow the intended number of units, a risk strip that prevents reconstruction. When these facts become known only after the deed, they stop being useful information and become a loss.<\/p>\n<p>LANDSCOPE reverses the order: first the technical reading, then the decision. We gather the PDM framework, the legal and territorial constraints, the building potential and the risks into a clear report, designed for decision-making.<\/p>\n<h2>2.

A real case: the plot that (wisely) was not bought<\/h2>\n<p>An investor had a promissory contract on a coastal property with a ruin, to rebuild as housing. The analysis revealed what the listing did not say: the property sat entirely within the National Ecological Reserve (REN), inside a cliff safeguard strip, in a fire hazard zone \u2014 and with no frontage onto a public road. The prior information request confirmed the reading: unviable.<\/p>\n<p>The result: the feasibility clause was triggered and the purchase did not go ahead. The cost of the analysis was a tiny fraction of the loss avoided.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h2 class=\"title\">&ldquo;In a property investment, the analysis that most protects the capital is the one that identifies a bad deal before the deed.&rdquo;<\/h2>\n<h3>Tiago R.

Send us the data<\/strong> \u2014 the property tax document (caderneta predial) and the location (the land registry certificate, if available, helps). <strong>2. We analyse<\/strong> \u2014 PDM and regulations, constraints, indices, risks; at the Premium level, we also develop the volumetric study. <strong>3.

Possible footprint, number of floors, gross areas per use \u2014 the PDM indices turned into drawn square metres. It is the difference between knowing that &#8220;it can be built&#8221; and being able to show a bank, a partner or a buyer exactly what.<\/p>\n<div class=\"trc-art-cta-inline\">\n<p>Buying land?
