Acquisition criteria
A brief describing the preferred asset class, location, occupancy profile, budget and decision timetable.

Look past the
asking price.
A property’s price is one part of the investment. Income, vacancy, lease terms, capital works and the cost of holding the asset all belong in the same conversation. We help you assess them together.

Before the spreadsheet
What is the asset
supposed to do?
An occupied office, an empty building and a development site should not be compared as though they carry the same obligations. We begin with the purpose of the acquisition, the amount of capital involved and the time you expect to hold the asset. Those choices shape the property search and the information required for a meaningful assessment.

Review areaWhat it tells us
Commercial assessment
A review of the income and cost information supplied, the lease position, the property’s condition and the diligence still required.
Portfolio context
Consideration of how the proposed acquisition sits alongside existing properties, including exposure to locations, tenants and future capital commitments.
Recorded income and forecast income are kept separate. A proposed return is an assumption to examine, never a promise.
When the inputs change
Does the case
still make sense?
For an existing asset, the work can include reviewing tenancy records, recurring costs, near-term expenditure and comparable properties. For a new opportunity, it can include testing the proposed use and the assumptions behind projected income. We distinguish recorded performance from estimates, and show how the picture changes when occupancy, expenditure or timing differs from the initial plan. The aim is a decision you understand, including its limits.
Set the brief
Agree why the asset is being considered and what would make it suitable. Identify the information needed before shortlisting.
Test the assumptions
Compare property information, market evidence and possible changes in income or expenditure. Keep uncertainties visible.
Prepare the decision
Summarise the commercial case and outstanding checks. Coordinate with the legal, tax and technical advisers involved in the transaction.
The next conversation
Bring the opportunity.
We’ll examine the case.
Share the investment objective, budget range, preferred geography and any asset documents already available. We can then define an appropriate review scope.
