What is Technical Due Diligence (TDD)?
Technical due diligence (TDD) is the activity within a property transaction where the state and condition of a property is reported on by a building surveyor. Our expert advice helps clients assess the risks and opportunities associated with property investment. It is technically backed and commercially astute with a focus on solutions, not problems. Our technical assessments cover all aspects of the property including its physical condition, environmental risk and compliance with regulations. We also interact with your legal advisors in advising on the impact of lease terms and the Title Register, and other relevant legal issues. We understand that investors require quick access to the red flags, and a desire to work through issues, enabling investment rather than preventing it.
How can Pinnacle help?
Our TDD reports are one of several building survey report types that add transactional value. Whether preparing to purchase or dispose, we work closely with you and will deliver the full range of surveying services (including VT, M&E, cladding and fire) to provide the information that you need so that you can make informed investment decisions. Our advice will reflect your needs whether you are an occupier, vendor, investor or funder.
We understand that time is of the essence. We can be on site anywhere in New Zealand within 5 working days. With the property file and the LIM available for immediate review, a summary report will be issued within 48 hours and a full report within 5 days of site inspection.
