Technical Due Diligence Explained

Technical Due Diligence is the process of assessing a property’s physical condition, compliance risks and future liabilities before an acquisition, lease, funding decision or development commitment is made.

For commercial property, this typically includes reviewing the building fabric, structure, roofs, services, statutory compliance, fire safety, accessibility, maintenance records and potential capital expenditure.

RICS guidance describes Technical Due Diligence as a key part of understanding the technical risks associated with commercial property transactions and ensuring the scope of services is tailored to the client’s brief.

For investors, occupiers, developers and funders, the value is clear: informed decision-making, stronger negotiation positions and fewer unexpected costs after completion.

BAQUS provides commercially focused Technical Due Diligence advice to help clients identify risk early and make property decisions with confidence.
