OUR SERVICES
TECHNICAL
DUE DILIGENCE
The technical due diligence of real estate helps buyers, sellers and portfolio/asset managers to assess the opportunities and risks of planned transactions. The condition of the building fabric, fire protection, building services and outdoor facilities is examined to estimate the costs for maintenance, modernisation and/or retrofitting. In addition to answering technical questions, ESG aspects are always considered:
- Determination of the general property parameters
- Review and description of the structural, building services and fire protection risks.
- Review of the building law situation
- Statements about building dimensions, flexibility, and tenancy
- Desktop testing of environmental aspects such as sustainability, contaminated sites, flooding, explosive ordnance, noise protection, etc.
- Transaction assistance, participation in sales contract negotiations, monitoring and coordination of seller's obligations, clearance of retentions
ESG
DUE DILIGENCE
With ESG due diligence, we provide an overview of the status and potential environmental, social and governance risks of the property. The assessment criteria are based on the real estate aspects of the EU Sustainable Finance Disclosure and Taxonomy Regulations, the GRESB portfolio rating, the environmental due diligence processes and the BREEAM In-Use KPIs. The ESG scoring includes the following topics, which can be tailored to the needs of the client or the fund:
- Energy and energy efficiency
- Greenhouse gas emissions, carbon footprint, and stranding risk
- Water and water efficiency
- Waste management
- Interior and exterior qualities, wellbeing
- Environment, natural risks & resilience
- Mobility concept
- Digitalisation concept
- Pre-check for sustainability certification
- Stakeholder engagement

- Advice on all major changes and deviations
- Follow-up of defects after acceptance

Sustainability

We are pleased to offer you the preparation of energy certificates according to GEG (German Building Energy Act) at a fixed price.
