brief
A family visitor spent 17 minutes on the tour, almost all of it in the courtyards rather than the waterfront — courtyard one held them over three minutes, the waterfront barely a minute. They asked about the school being open, dogs, a payment plan during construction, and what would be complete by their spring relocation from London. Three apartments viewed, the 63 and 81 compared side by side and both shortlisted. WhatsApp number left. The moving-in question and the payment-plan question both landed outside what I can answer, so they are still open.
budget
- Unknown — no price discussion took place and none is possible from this session. Family-of-four framing across a 63 and an 81 suggests they are testing the size step rather than working to a fixed ceiling.
signals
- Left a WhatsApp number unprompted
- Shortlisted two apartments and ran a direct comparison of E2-63 vs E3-81
- Asked about a payment plan during construction — finance is on their mind already
- Concrete relocation trigger: London, spring
- Asked whether the school is actually open, not whether one exists — checking delivery, not browsing
- Long dwell in the courtyards, which reads as family-use assessment rather than view-shopping
objections
- Timing is the live risk: they need to know what is habitable by spring and I could not give dates
- Payment plan unanswered — if the terms disappoint, the shortlist collapses
- Low waterfront dwell suggests the river premium may not be what they are paying for; pitch courtyards and school, not views
- Relocating from a different country — practicalities of buying from abroad were never raised and may surface late
- Two shortlisted flats in different buildings, so no settled preference yet
next step
Call on WhatsApp within a day. Lead with what is genuinely complete and what that means for a spring arrival, then the payment plan. Bring the 63 and 81 side by side with floor and aspect on each, and confirm the school and nursery are open and how far they sit from both buildings.
