Technical Due Diligence

Whether you’re investing in a commercial portfolio, acquiring a residential development, or entering a joint venture, understanding the full technical condition of a property or portfolio is essential. Our Technical Due Diligence (TDD) service provides comprehensive, independent assessment of real estate assets giving investors, developers, and asset managers the confidence to proceed with clarity. We assess risk, highlight value, and uncover issues that can impact performance, compliance, and long-term returns.

We provide investors, asset managers, and lenders with the clarity to make informed real estate transaction decisions. Our due diligence process delivers independent, data-driven insights that identify and mitigate risks before acquisition, sale or finance. Using a multi-disciplinary team of building surveyors, MEP engineers, and ESG consultants, we provide technical clarity to real estate transactions and have supported clients across the capital structure.

What We Do

Our real estate TDD process is structured to identify material risks, latent defects, and compliance gaps across a wide range of asset types and investment strategies. Key areas include:

• Building Fabric & Structure: In-depth assessment of the physical condition of the property, including roofs, façades, floors, foundations, and structural integrity.
• Mechanical, Electrical & Public Health (MEP): Evaluation of all building systems - HVAC, electrical, plumbing, lifts, and fire safety for - compliance, capacity, condition, and lifecycle cost.
• Statutory Compliance & Planning: Verification of adherence to building regulations, fire codes, planning permissions, and environmental legislation (including ESG and sustainability requirements).
• Environmental & Sustainability Review: Identification of environmental liabilities, flood risks, energy performance (EPC ratings), and opportunities for decarbonisation or retrofit.
• CapEx Forecasting & Lifecycle Planning: Forward-looking analysis of maintenance liabilities and capital expenditure requirements, mapped over short, medium, and long-term horizons.
• Building Services & Infrastructure: Review of utility connections, drainage, telecoms, energy systems, and overall service resilience.
