Technical Due Diligence

Investigation into the technical risks of a building and its essential services, prior to acquisition or lease.

Prendos has provided expert technical due diligence (TDD) advice to the commercial property market for over 20 years. In that time, we’ve worked for New Zealand and overseas clients on all property asset types. Our technical due diligence surveys are an essential stage of the purchasing process, making you aware of and enabling you to manage the associated risks.

We apply the latest RICS guidance to guarantee accuracy and best practice in all our technical due diligence services.

Our knowledge of building pathology allows us to advise on repair and maintenance expenditure, planning and capital management over the life of a property. We will also advise you on the presence of deleterious materials, building code compliance, operational legislation, fire regulations and accessibility, so you get a wholistic approach to the due diligence process. Environmental and sustainability issues are also considered, ensuring you are aware of the risks and opportunities. Whether you’re preparing to buy or sell, you can trust us to provide the full range of building surveys to give you the detail you need.

Different priorities and needs

We know each transaction has different priorities and needs. So we take very clear instructions at the outset, working with your legal advisors to ensure the service we provide generates maximum value.

Our nationwide building surveyors have a wealth of building knowledge. Better yet, each and every one of them is in tune with specific issues prevalent in their region. You can depend on our local knowledge while at the same time knowing we follow international best practices for due diligence processes.

A range of clients

When it comes to technical due diligence, we work for funders, investors, occupiers and vendors. We complete pre-acquisition TDD and vendor surveys for single assets and portfolios across all property sectors.

We fully understand that transaction times are usually compressed and will work with you to deliver high quality in-depth reports no matter how tight the bid deadlines.
