A closer look before you commit.

Found a property you’re interested in? We can help you look through the details, understand the likely costs and identify what needs further investigation.

Working for you.

We agree the scope of our acquisition support and explain the applicable fees before work begins.

We help you make sense of the lease and identify the questions it raises for your purchase. You can then discuss those points with the seller and your professional advisers before committing.

Your lawyer guides the due diligence process, including whether building or other specialist reports are needed. We can assist with reviewing that information and considering what it means for ongoing property management.

We look at rental and value projections alongside property costs and borrowing assumptions. The timing and terms of rent increases matter to those projections, as do the assumptions about market rent and future value. Exploring different scenarios helps test the purchase figures.

We can discuss what managing the property would involve, from rent and property expenses to maintenance and tenant communication. That way, you can plan for ownership as well as the purchase.
