Due Diligence

We recognise the technical due diligence inspection needs to be tailored to suit a client’s specific needs. Whether the client is the landlord, the tenant o prospective purcharser not only inspection but the emphasis of the reporting will need to reflect what the client needs to know.

Our reporting is also tailored to meet client requirements. Unless specifically instructed otherwise, we would provide concise summaries and recommendations in clear text for non-technical readership combined with both a photographic record of the site and an in-depth detailed technical description secions that can be used as a point of reference in any later discussion.

Reports can be provided in one of several languages, checked by native speaker to ensure ease of reception by the client.

Before we commence a technical due diligence inspection we need to know reasoning behind the request and what the client needs from the inspection.

We have carried out technical due diligence inspections for clients for many reasons but principally the following categories make up the majority of cases.

  • Asset lease on purchase
  • Sale and laseback​
  • End of lease dilapidation Condition survey in anticipation of taking a lease​
