Transaction Preparation (Sell-side)
We support vendors in preparing assets for sale by providing structured technical review and risk identification ahead of the transaction process.
Our approach helps reduce uncertainty, improve transparency, and support a more efficient sales process.
Reducing uncertainty before sale
Unidentified technical issues and incomplete documentation can lead to delays, pricing adjustments, and extended negotiations. Early technical preparation allows vendors to address key issues in advance.
- Identification of material technical risks
- Review of documentation and gaps
- Early CAPEX visibility for pricing
- Improved readiness for buyer due diligence
Scope of services
The scope of each assignment is defined based on the asset, transaction context, and client requirements. Environmental due diligence and energy performance assessments can be incorporated as part of the overall technical review where relevant.
- Technical review of buildings and systems
- Identification of deficiencies and risks
- Review of available documentation
- CAPEX overview and key investment needs
- Energy performance review and improvement roadmap
Structuring the technical narrative
Early technical preparation allows vendors to clearly present the asset’s technical condition, risks, and capital requirements.
By identifying and addressing key issues in advance, the technical position of the asset can be communicated consistently throughout the transaction process. Energy performance and improvement potential can also be incorporated into the overall technical narrative where relevant.
This supports transparency in discussions with potential buyers and reduces the likelihood of pricing adjustments driven by late-stage findings.
Our approach
Our work is structured to support transaction preparation and interaction with potential buyers.
Technical findings are presented clearly and remain usable throughout the due diligence phase, supporting efficient Q&A and negotiation.
We provide ongoing visibility into the preparation process, highlighting progress, identifying missing information, and clarifying required actions — enabling timely decision-making and keeping the process moving.
This structured preparation supports a more efficient due diligence process and smoother interaction with buyers – see Technical Due Diligence.
