Our pre application service

This is offered to all customers who have their full application and associated supporting information ready to go.

This service would then review the application to understand and provide feedback if there is anything missing or unclear that would result in delays or non-validation or refusal of the application.  This service will also advise if any additional permissions or approvals are required, that will impact on your ability to have a positive outcome when you submit a full application.

This service is a one-time transaction, the application package is submitted and comments supplied.  It is not an iterative process, and further checks will be charged at the full pre app rate. 
In order for pre-application to be productive and worthwhile to all parties and to provide advice, we will require the submission of upfront information.
