Real estate

MacLeod

A site's document set, read before you sign.

MacLeod reads the file behind a site the way an objector or a critical adviser would: looking for what does not add up, not for what reassures. The real estate vertical of Ramirez.

Who it is for

For whoever signs, not for whoever sells.

MacLeod works for acquisition and due diligence leads at developers, REITs and family offices across Europe. People who have to decide, on the basis of a file, whether a site deserves a signature, often under time pressure and with a document set the seller assembled. The sharpest use case: logistics and industrial property, where zoning, permitting and environmental constraints decide the deal.

Such a file is written to persuade. The questions it raises are, by definition, not in it. Someone has to find them before the signature, not after.

What MacLeod does

Reading the way the other side reads.

MacLeod puts the full document set of a site through an evaluative review: what does the file say about zoning and designation, about the permitting trajectory, about the soil, and where does it contradict itself. Every finding points to the place in the file it rests on.

The same eye an objector, a neighbourhood committee or a critical adviser will later turn on the project, but now, while you can still choose: renegotiate, seek further advice or walk away.

Product

One product: the Site Pre-Check.

No suite, no modules. You provide the file as it stands; you get a findings report: what we found, where it sits, why it matters, and the questions to put to your advisers.

The boundary

Flagging, not attesting.

A pre-check is not an attestation and does not replace your advisers. MacLeod flags; you decide.

MacLeod drafts no file, applies for no permit and gives no legal or technical advice. Your notary, lawyer and technical consultants remain your advisers; MacLeod makes sure you ask them the right questions.
