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\">\u201cIn a property investment, the analysis that most protects the capital is the one that identifies a bad deal before the deed.\u201d<\/h2>\n<h3>Tiago R.

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 \u201cit can be built\u201d 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?
