QUATRO POLITICAL RISK ASSESSMENTS
Quatro has launched a new Political Risks service to help our clients assess the potential risks when considering acquiring a site for development. Our Political Risk Assessments provide the inside track on:
• the local key decision makers and opinion formers;
• local attitudes toward development;
• the effectiveness of the planning decision making machinery;
• the key community and other interest groups.
Given the current financial and economic situation, those considering the acquisition of a site for development need as much information as possible to help ensure they are investing their money correctly.
The location maybe right, the planning policy works, the financials add up, but do the local politics?
With a General Election looming, together with major local elections in London and elsewhere, It is often the politics that can blow the best laid plans off course, and can end up costing developers hundreds of thousands of pounds more than they bargained for.
By commissioning a Political Risk Assessment investors, developers and potential landowners will have a better understanding of the politics they may be getting into, the issues and challenges that they will need to tackle. You will also gain an indication of how likely the decision makers will be to support your development proposals, the bear traps to avoid and potentially save a lot of money and time!
If you would like further information on how Political Risk Assessments can add value to your business and advice, or to discuss how Quatro could help de-risk your plans, please get in touch.
