DUE DILLIGENCE ​INSPECTION

Due Diligence or Pre-acquisition advice is often requested by a potential buyer or tenant prior to their decision to purchase or rent a property. A wrong estimation by a layman on the degree of remedial works required, ignorance on the potential problem and operation cost could easily lead to a wrong investment and financial loss.

Our advices include the following:

  • Method of construction of the building;
  • Potential problems of the building, health and safety hazard;
  • Existing defects in the building and rectification works required
  • Items that required periodical maintenance and replacement
  • How to utilize the building for maximum performance and minimum operation cost.
  • Checking the actual building area, net rentable area compared to as-built

K&P COVE CONSULTANCY offers our client to assess the condition of the building, in particular, the structure, fabrics and components, finishes, services and safety requirements. Surveys are a kind of ‘health check’ for buildings by a building doctor. If you’re buying a property, you should have an inspection done by a Professional before you enter into a contract – or before making an offer. This can actually save your money. If there are serious building problems, you can often re-negotiate the sale price of the building / property to reflect the cost of necessary repairs – or you may even decide to look for other worthy property to buy/rent for. There may be hidden building problems in the property that would cost a huge amount to put right – and they won’t appear in the valuation report. Yet, we do provide our clients overall picture in view of the general condition and situation he might be facing in the future.
