Before we begin
Clarity throughout.
Can you search for a particular reference or specification?
Yes, the brief can be narrow or exploratory. Availability and condition are assessed during the search; no particular asset is guaranteed.
Do I need Reserve membership?
No. A private acquisition can be commissioned independently. Reserve can support the ownership that follows.
Who verifies the asset?
The relevant independent specialist is scoped to the asset and proposed checks. We distinguish verified findings, seller statements and unresolved information.
MCL coordinates the search and agreed process. The seller supplies the asset; independent specialists provide reports within their scope. Purchase money is paid directly under the agreed transaction arrangements. Fees and third-party costs are confirmed before commitment.
A private conversation. A clear way forward.
