What is the due diligence process?

Watertight due diligence is required at each stage to ensure you know exactly what you are signing up for. This ensures that your best interests are protected and minimises potential future liabilities.

We will take the time to assess your property needs and requirements while considering both possible growth and expansion plans as well as exit strategies in the future. Harnessing our experience, we can consider properties available on the open market and those being sold “off-market”.

Working with your list of expectations, we will narrow down the field, cutting through those which are not suitable, and present you with a tailored shortlist of options.
