Capacity is confirmed after triage — professional appointment, not a marketplace of random agents. Scope is matched to the property and brief — not a fixed product invented from the NW3 postcode alone.

Useful briefs include address, proposal summary, drawings if held, conservation or listed status, and prior refusals if any. Camden conservation and listed stock dominate many briefs — flag listing and Article 4 notes early.
