LeaseholdersUnited has considerable and detailed property market information as a result of its research. But simply publishing that data would have limited benefit to the businessman. This is because he needs the knowledge of how to use that information.

Equally having lots of irrelevant data available to you can often be as bad as having none at all.

So we have developed a system that is "tailor made" to the clients' property. If you register 12 High Street, Southend, the system gives you information and guidance relevant to reducing the property costs of  12 High Street Southend.

Chartered Surveyors know how to use the information, as they look at property costs for a living and often have been doing so for decades. Businessmen look at property costs regularly, occassionally or never bother. So their ability and their experience varies.

We have therefore developed guides and applications that take account of the varying abilities and in our CostMINDER product we even "grade" from 1 to 10, some tasks.

Where a member is having difficulty with an issue he can ask questions into our "forums" and where he wants to pass the matter on to an expert, we have the only localised Expert directory in England.

Within the system there are also unique information sharing databases and an online messaging system to allow members to communicate with one another.

Finally, we also recognise that businessmen are "time poor". So we made the system 100% web based so that a businessman can look at his property costs "over a cup of coffee on a Sunday morning".
