The demands of modern investment markets call for property that is considered a liquid asset class. Buyers are therefore obliged to satisfy themselves as to the condition of a property before committing to the transaction. Watts has been providing acquisition advice in the commercial property sector for more than 20 years, during which time, it has successfully delivered many thousands of reports on a multitude of building types.

The Service:

  • Clarifying the extent of the service required
  • Reviewing all relevant technical and legal documentation
  • Inspecting the property
  • Co-ordinating the involvement of specialist sub-consultant concerning services installations, deleterious materials testing and land contamination
  • Liaising with other members of the acquisition team such as solicitors, agents, accountants and investment advisers
  • Preparing a report to the client's preferred format or our own format
  • Dealing with queries raised by the acquisition team, including more forensic re-inspection of the property, if required
  • Attending review meetings

Why Watts?

Watts is an independent firm that has, for more than 20 years, specialised in the production of reports associated with property acquisition. It is one of the largest practices of building surveyors and engineers to do so, and has developed a reputation in the market place for pragmatic, balanced advice. Our network of offices and our staff complement enable us to deal with single properties or large portfolios, anywhere in the UK, Ireland and Iberia.

Our clients range from commercial companies acquiring space for their own occupation, financial institutions and large property companies acquiring property for investment purposes, independent asset managers and developers. We are able to tailor extensively the precise scope of our reports, to suit the circumstances of our involvement and co-ordinate the involvement of many other professional disciplines, if necessary.

We pride ourselves on a responsive and proactive approach.
