Commercial & Pre- Acquisition Building Surveys

Before you commit to investing in a commercial property, it pays to make sure you understand the risks involved. Our commercial building surveys are purpose-built to give you clarity, precision and peace of mind.

We don’t deal in vague statements, and our advice aims to protect you from hidden surprises. You will get detailed insight from experienced commercial Building Surveyors. A commercial building survey involves a full inspection of the building’s structure, materials, and condition; it can also include M&E installations, extant Lease terms where relevant, environmental issues, etc. When you are taking on the liability of a commercial space, that level of detail matters.

Insight that’s Deeper than the Bricks and Mortar

Every commercial building survey we carry out is customised to your site, the property type, and what you need from the process. You’ll get a full breakdown of the physical state of the building, as well as details about any visible defects, deterioration, or potential risks. That includes the external and internal fabric, roof, walls, windows, drainage, mechanical and electrical services.

We don’t neglect legal and environmental considerations.

Aspects like planning permissions, flood mapping and soil conditions are all factors that could impact your costs or liabilities down the line. That’s why we include them in our commercial building surveys. We want to empower you to make confident decisions based on clear data.

Is a Commercial Building Survey Right for You?

Before you lease or purchase a property, make sure you know what you’re signing up for. Our surveys check for and help you manage common and rare risks in your property.

Pre-acquisition Building Surveys

Before you commit to a commercial property, it’s helpful to have the facts. A pre-acquisition building survey gives you precisely that.

The surveys we provide are focused on protecting your position. Buying, leasing, or investing in a commercial property without knowing the risks can throw up expensive surprises down the line. We dig into the real condition of the building, including any compliance concerns. That means you can make informed decisions with absolute clarity of the situation at hand.

Make Smart Property Decisions Based on Data

The sooner issues are identified, the sooner they can be priced in. You can then utilise the information to negotiate accordingly. We’ve designed our pre-acquisition building surveys to give you the tools to support those conversations. If there are building regulation concerns, planned works needed, or the asset won’t perform in the way you might expect, we’ll flag it, explain it, and help you plan around it.

Pre-sale building inspections that tell you what matters.

If you’re looking to sell a commercial property, pre-sale building inspections give you total control. We help you spot issues in advance, so you can address them before a buyer picks them apart. What’s more, this gives your agent or legal team an honest picture so they can manage risk and avoid last-minute surprises.

It Pays to Be Proactive with Your Property

Delays, overspends, and compliance headaches often trace back to assumptions made too early. If you invest in a pre-acquisition building survey, you get peace of mind from the outset and frequently avoid the stress later on.
