Got Questions?

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our Due Diligence service for commercial and residential property clients across London and the UK.

What is the difference between due diligence and a building survey?

A building survey focuses on the physical condition of a property. Due diligence is broader, encompassing structural condition, compliance risk, environmental considerations, and future capital expenditure requirements — providing a complete risk assessment for acquisitions and lease transactions.

When should I commission a due diligence survey?

Due diligence surveys should be commissioned as early as possible in the transaction process — ideally before heads of terms are agreed — so findings can inform price negotiation and legal documentation rather than arriving too late to use.

Can you survey multiple properties in a portfolio acquisition?

Yes. We regularly support portfolio acquisitions across multiple assets and locations. We provide both individual property reports and portfolio summary reports to support investment committee decisions.
