Asset Visibility Report (pre-litigation)

A snapshot of a named individual or company's visible assets, property, business interests and lifestyle spending, before proceedings begin or a dispute escalates.

The Problem

You cannot plan for a dispute if you do not know what the other side actually has, or how they actually live.


Family disputes moving toward divorce proceedings, commercial disagreements heading toward litigation, and disputes with individuals suspected of dissipating assets all share the same early question: what does this person or company actually own, right now, before anything changes, and does their visible lifestyle match what they are claiming. Waiting until proceedings are issued to ask that question can mean asking it after assets have already moved. A pre-litigation snapshot, taken early and documented properly, gives a legal team or a family a factual starting point rather than a guess, and can materially change the strategy adopted from the outset.

What's Included

What you receive.


A structured report on the visible assets connected to a named individual or company, covering property, business interests, directorships, and any early indicators of insolvency or asset transfer, delivered with sourced findings suitable for a legal team or your own planning. Where a matter turns on whether declared income matches actual spending, financial disclosure disputes, insurance claims contradicted by documented activity, misrepresented financial position, the report includes a lifestyle evidence module documenting visible spending and activity against the subject's declared position.

Property ownership, current and historical, across the UK

Company interests and directorships, current and dissolved

Early indicators of insolvency proceedings or financial distress

Recent asset transfers or disposals worth further investigation

Optional lifestyle evidence module: vehicles, travel patterns and visible high-value spending, sourced and dated for evidential use

A clear summary suitable for briefing a solicitor ahead of proceedings

Methodology

How it's produced.


Property registry searches, corporate filing analysis, and court record checks for insolvency or dissipation indicators, built as a fast, factual snapshot rather than a full asset tracing exercise. The lifestyle evidence module adds systematic documentation of publicly visible spending and activity, timestamped to a standard suitable for family finance proceedings or insurance disputes, with every finding verified by a named analyst before it is reported.

Timeline

What to expect, and when.


Typical turnaround: 3 to 5 business days from confirmed scope, expedited review available where dissipation is a live concern. Add 1 to 2 business days where the lifestyle evidence module is included.
Frequently Asked

Questions we're asked most


Is this useful before a decision to litigate has even been made?

Yes, this is one of its most common uses. Knowing what is actually there can materially change whether litigation is worth pursuing at all.

How is this different from Asset Recovery Intelligence?

This is a pre-litigation snapshot, taken before or early in a dispute. Asset Recovery Intelligence is the deeper, post-judgment tracing exercise once you have a judgment to enforce.

Can this be updated if the matter runs on for months?

Yes, through our Asset & Wealth Monitoring subscription, which keeps this same picture current on a continuous basis for as long as the matter is live.

Will the subject know this report has been commissioned?

No. It is built entirely from publicly available information and lawfully obtained records, without contacting the subject.

Do I need to request the lifestyle evidence module separately, or is it always included?

It is an optional module, confirmed at scoping. Instruct it where the matter specifically turns on a gap between declared income and visible lifestyle, family finance disclosure, an insurance claim contradicted by documented activity, or a commercial dispute involving misrepresented financial position.

How far back can the lifestyle evidence go?

As far as the publicly available record allows. Historical evidence is often as relevant as current activity, since it can establish a pattern rather than a single snapshot.
