Performance & risk
ESG due diligence for real estate transactions
Whether you are acquiring or disposing, ESG factors shape long-term value, compliance and climate risk. We combine quantitative modelling with qualitative assessment and translate the result into insight that can inform pricing, strategy and asset management decisions.
Before you commit
Five questions we answer.
What data exists?
Whether the asset has ESG data at all, in what quality, and what you will inherit on day one.
How efficient is the asset?
Energy intensity and carbon footprint, measured rather than assumed.
Is it aligned with CRREM and EU Taxonomy?
Where the asset stands relative to the pathway and to future climate targets.
What physical and transition risks exist?
Flooding and heat exposure, plus tightening energy regulation, carbon pricing and tenant expectations.
What will improvement cost?
The measures required and their capex implications, before you price the deal.
Scope
Five modules.
ESG screening
Data availability, energy intensity, carbon footprint and alignment with EU Taxonomy and CRREM.
Physical & transition risk
Exposure to flooding, heat and other hazards, alongside regulatory and market transition risk.
Improvement pathways
Practical measures and capex implications post-acquisition, from retrofit to renewable integration.
Tenant & occupier engagement
Satisfaction, collaboration potential and green lease clauses that align owner and occupier.
Portfolio consolidation
Asset findings rolled up into a portfolio view of risk, potential and fit with investment objectives.
Investment committee
The output is a decision sheet.
Not a report nobody reads. Three columns, in the language the committee already uses.
Red flags
Exposures that should change the price or the decision: stranding risk, missing data, hard regulatory limits, capex you cannot avoid.
Value opportunities
Where improvement is cheap relative to the value it unlocks — measures with a credible payback and a decarbonisation story.
Post-acquisition actions
The first twelve months: what to fix, what to measure, what to disclose and who owns it.
Why it matters
What robust due diligence does.
01
Mitigates risk
Regulatory, reputational and financial exposures identified before they materialise.
02
Informs decisions
A transparent view of sustainability performance and transition readiness.
03
Enhances value
Targeted improvement opportunities and credible decarbonisation pathways.
04
Supports disclosure
The reporting obligations that follow the transaction, already anticipated.
