Our thorough due diligence, with keen evaluation of the science and technology marketplace, clears the path for a smooth transaction, yielding the best return.

Our work on 31 science and innovation parks across the Arc gives us the experience to ensure that before proceeding with a purchase, you get a good market price and identify any risks you could be inheriting.

With expertise spanning capital markets, surveying and asset management, we provide comprehensive due diligence, examining both the investment value and the building itself. Whether you’re in the market to buy, repurpose, sell, or manage a portfolio, we have the right resource to give you the answers you need while meticulously analysing the building fabric and legislative requirements.

Our continuing work with life science, material science and production business workspaces gives us an understanding of the building requirements for the sector to attract the right tenants.
