Technical due diligence

Technical due diligence delivers a structured assessment of a site or a property’s physical condition prior to acquisition, leasing, or major refurbishment. It uncovers hidden structural defects, maintenance liabilities, and compliance issues, serving as the foundation for risk mitigation and financial planning for likely capital expenditure.

Our building consultancy specialists provide owners, occupiers, investors and lenders with technical due diligence support and building surveys to translate building defects and issues into clear commercial advice, helping clients understand risk before committing to a transaction or strategy.

Our services

Building survey

We conduct pre-acquisition and building surveys for commercial, rural, estates and residential investments. We provide professional, thorough building surveys that assess the fabric, structure, roofs, windows and service interfaces. We identify any immediately required repairs and flag medium-term liabilities and full-lifecycle maintenance considerations. We can support with full planned preventative maintenance plans to protect your assets and their longevity.

Technical due diligence (TDD)

Our support goes far beyond identifying the physical state of your property. We can interpret your building survey, assess the underlying statutory compliance indicators and occupational risks, and translate this into financial advice, investment support and risk planning. We produce budgetary cost advice and capital expenditure schedules to support negotiations or asset planning, and perform portfolio due diligence and risk ranking to guide investment, disposal, and estate strategy decisions.

Technical due diligence support tailored to you

Our reports can be tailored to the asset, transaction timetable and level of reliance required for your projects, from focused defect reviews to portfolio-level assessments. We can also arrange specialist surveys where required, including structural engineering, M&E, drainage, and environmental or heritage advice. Whether you’re looking for support to acquire or dispose of a property, are managing a leasehold property, or you’re looking for advice to support informed funding and investment decisions, our building consultancy specialists are here to help.
