Proof & Disclosure Center

Don’t take our word for it. Interrogate it.

Trust pages usually ask for belief. This one asks for scrutiny: every headline number carries its definition, period and source; every service carries its method; fees and conflicts are stated before you ever pick up the phone. Where something is a placeholder or an illustrative example, it says so — plainly.

How we count Fees & conflicts

How we count our numbers

A number without a definition is marketing. Each figure below states what it counts, over what period, and where it comes from — including when the source is our own records rather than an independent audit.

Assets transacted & advised

Cumulative market value of properties Chacadom has transacted (as buyer or seller representative) plus assets under advisory mandate, at the value recorded at transaction or mandate start.

Engagement profiles

What a Chacadom mandate looks like

Read this first. The profiles below are illustrative composites of typical mandates — not permissioned client case studies. Real engagements are confidential until a client agrees to be named; each profile carries the full structure (role, problem, work, outcome, horizon, risks) so that permissioned real cases can replace them one-for-one without redesign. Treat them as a preview of the work, not evidence of specific transactions.

Commercial disposal in a soft office market

Sell-side representative (vendor’s agent)

7 months from mandate to completion

Starting problem: An owner needed to exit a tenanted Grade-B office floor in a market where vacancy was rising and buyers were discounting aggressively.

  • Income verification and tenancy-schedule reconstruction before listing
  • Market-band pricing analysis to set a defensible asking range
  • Targeted marketing to owner-occupier and yield buyers simultaneously
  • Negotiation managing a rent-review contingency the buyer discovered in diligence

Outcome: Transaction closed inside the agreed range after a longer marketing period than the seller hoped — an honest outcome, not a miracle.

Buyer’s lender revalued the asset below asking — required renegotiation One tenant’s covenant needed clarification before exchange

Diaspora land acquisition with title anxiety

Buy-side advisor (client representative)

4 months from engagement to registered transfer

Starting problem: A diaspora buyer had been shown three "bargain" plots by an unverified agent and feared a title trap — a common Kenyan fraud pattern.

  • Official land search on each candidate parcel; two failed encumbrance review
  • Beacon walkthrough and boundary confirmation on the surviving candidate
  • Price benchmarking against corridor comps to test the "bargain" claim
  • Advocate-led transfer coordination with staged payments tied to milestones

Outcome: Clean freehold parcel acquired at fair value; the two failed parcels are the case study — avoiding a bad deal is the service.

One parcel had an unresolved succession claim (deal declined) Another was priced 30% below market — a classic bait pattern (deal declined)

Landowner–developer joint venture structuring

JV structuring advisor and development manager

18 months structuring-to-completion

Starting problem: A family owned a prime development plot but no capital or expertise; a developer had both but wanted asymmetric terms.

  • Independent land valuation to anchor the contribution split
  • Profit-share framework with staged release tied to construction milestones
  • Governance: joint sign-off thresholds, dispute escalation, exit clauses
  • Development management with monthly owner reporting

Outcome: Structure agreed and documented; construction completed with distributions tracking the model within tolerance.

Construction-cost inflation forced one budget revision A delay in approvals pushed the first distribution by a quarter

Methodology

How we work, step by step

Interrogate the method before the first call. These outlines are informational — they describe how we approach each discipline, not advice for your situation.

Valuation & pricing

  1. 1Comparable transactions first: recent, nearby, same asset class — asking prices are data, not truth
  2. 2Income approach for tenanted assets: verified rent roll, market vacancy, operating costs
  3. 3Replacement-cost sanity check for new builds and off-plan
  4. 4Reconcile the three into a range — a single-point figure implies false precision

Investment underwriting

  1. 1Separate facts (verified rent, title, costs) from estimates (market rent, occupancy) from assumptions (growth, exit)
  2. 2Model downside before base case: what breaks first if the market turns
  3. 3Yield calculated net of realistic management, rates, insurance and voids
  4. 4Every model output carries its label — no blended "trust us" number

Title & document review

  1. 1Official land search on the registered parcel — ownership, encumbrances, caveats
  2. 2Rates and rent clearance confirmation
  3. 3Succession and identity checks on the seller side
  4. 4Physical beacon walkthrough for land; boundary confirmations where boundaries matter

Tenant screening

  1. 1Identity and company registration verification
  2. 2Income or covenant evidence proportionate to the rent commitment
  3. 3Reference history from prior landlords where obtainable
  4. 4Deposit and guarantee structure matched to the risk grade

Portfolio reporting

  1. 1Monthly statement: income, expenses, occupancy, capex — no averaging over surprises
  2. 2Quarterly review against the acquisition model, variance explained
  3. 3Annual plan: refinance, capex, divestment signals explicitly flagged
  4. 4Everything documented in writing the client actually receives

Fees & conflicts

How we earn

Chacadom earns negotiated professional fees per mandate (typically commission, retainers or success fees). No fee schedule is published on this site yet — until one is, every engagement is quoted in writing before work begins, and you are free to walk away.

Fee typeStatus todayHow it works
Sales / letting commissionNegotiated per mandatePercentage or fixed, agreed in the engagement letter before marketing begins.
Advisory retainerNegotiated per mandateFor ongoing advisory and portfolio work; scope and fee in writing.
Development / JV management feeNegotiated per mandateStructured against milestones, never purely time.
Referral fees from third partiesDisclosed when applicableIf a mandate involves a referral arrangement, it is declared in the engagement letter.
Listing placement or ranking fees on this websiteNot chargedNo property or profile is ranked or promoted on this site for payment.

Conflicts & incentives

Where Chacadom acts for both sides of a transaction, or has an interest in an asset it recommends, that interest is disclosed in writing before engagement. The firm does not accept mandates whose incentives it cannot disclose.

This page will move to a formal, counsel-reviewed disclosure when the fee schedule is published.
