Technical Due Diligence
Technical due diligence focused on energy and sustainability risks in real estate transactions.
Technical shortcomings get expensive after handover. Thorough due diligence surfaces risks while they can still be priced in—or negotiated out.
What we assess
- Condition of heating, ventilation, and cooling systems
- Energy performance against a benchmark and the expected energy label rating
- Alignment with the EU Taxonomy and the CRREM pathway
- Required measures within 3, 5, and 10 years, with cost estimates
- Risks from upcoming regulation (energy labelling, Taxonomy, climate requirements)
Deliverables
- Summary report with red/yellow/green status for each system and topic
- Investment plan to reach the expected performance
- Basis for pricing and negotiation
- Input to a green CapEx plan or a decarbonisation roadmap
When to use it
- Purchase or sale of a single asset or a portfolio
- Refinancing under green loan terms
- Internal portfolio review as part of a fund strategy
The report is concise enough for transactions, yet precise enough for the figures to stand up in negotiation.
