Pre-acquisition Reports

Compass Building Consultancy provides pre acquisition reports for investors, developers, occupiers, pension funds, asset managers and commercial landlords across the UK.

Our reports are designed to provide clear, commercially focused technical advice before property acquisition, helping clients understand building condition, repair liabilities, statutory compliance risks and future expenditure requirements prior to commitment.

We undertake inspections across a broad range of commercial property types including offices, industrial units, retail premises, education buildings, mixed use assets and multi let estates.

Our Approach

We provide pragmatic advice tailored to the nature of the asset, transaction and client objectives. Our reports are intended to support informed decision making by identifying material building defects, maintenance concerns and technical risks which may affect value, operational performance or future investment requirements.

Assessments may include:

Building fabric condition
Repair and maintenance liabilities
Planned preventative maintenance considerations
Lifecycle and CAPEX forecasting
Accessibility considerations
Statutory compliance observations
Environmental and operational risks
Lease related repair obligations
Reinstatement cost assessments
Measured survey requirements
M&E overview observations

Commercially Focused Advice

We understand the importance of timescales and commercial pressures during acquisitions. Our reporting is concise, practical and focused on helping clients understand risk exposure and future liabilities in a clear and accessible format.

Compass Building Consultancy is regulated by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), providing clients with confidence in the professional standards and quality of advice delivered.
