Independent Commercial Pre-Acquisition Survey and Technical Due Diligence (TDD) to de-risk purchases, leases and refinancing. Expect a clear red-flag memo, a robust 1–10 year capex forecast, and practical next steps — fast.
Our Commercial Pre-Acquisition Survey equips investors, landlords and occupiers with a decision-ready view of risk, cost and programme — before you commit.
Where packages include remedial delivery or tendering, we can align with trusted partners: roofing & building-envelope contractors for refurbishment scopes, specialist leadwork nationally, small-scale roof repairs across Yorkshire, and HETAS-registered chimney services for residential and commercial estates (e.g., pub chains).

Commercial transactions live or die on certainty. A Commercial Pre-Acquisition Survey turns unknowns into an action plan. We tailor scope to your deal stage — from desktop red-flag reviews to enhanced TDD with opening-up and specialist testing where appropriate.
Many TDD reports under-weight the roof. We don’t. During the Commercial Pre-Acquisition Survey we examine covering type, fixings, laps, flashings, rainwater management, workmanship and detailing against current standards and good practice. Where needed, we’ll propose controlled opening-up to confirm build-ups and vapour control strategy.

• Industrial & logistics (new build & legacy stock)

Whether you’re acquiring, leasing, or refinancing, Strut Building Surveyors delivers Commercial Pre-Acquisition Survey and Technical Due Diligence reporting that is concise, defensible and usable. We’ll align scope to your timescales and tell you what to do next — not just what’s wrong.
If your instruction requires delivery support, we can connect you with proven contractors for implementation: roofing & envelope, leadwork, local roof repairs, and chimney & solid-fuel compliance.
