This type of property investigation has the potential to pay for itself many times over. The in-depth survey provides the potential buyer with important knowledge regarding the condition of the building, highlighting all present and potential problems. This information can be critical to help negotiate a better purchasing deal. It can also help put a long-term plan into place to mitigate liability at the end of a Lease or upon the sale of the building at a future date. An Acquisition Survey can give estimates on the lifecycle costs of a building, advice on refurbishments, improvements and repair obligations.
