A DEFINED FIRST APPOINTMENT

Property handover review

Prepare for a change of responsibility with a clear picture of operational records, supplier arrangements and unresolved actions.

Bring these inputs

The premises covered, intended handover arrangements, available maintenance records and supplier information.

Receive a practical output

An operational handover register, missing-information requests and a proposed list of first-period management actions.

Operational mobilisation does not replace legal due diligence, a formal survey or a compliance certification exercise.

An initial discussion leads to a written scope and fee proposal. After delivery, implement the actions yourself or discuss ongoing support.

Discuss this review

Turn fragmented handover information into an actionable operational plan.

We help businesses organise the property and maintenance workstream when taking over premises, changing management arrangements or integrating assets after an acquisition.

Who this helps

For acquiring businesses, portfolio owners and managing agents preparing for a property handover or operational transition.

A transaction can complete while critical operational questions remain open: who holds the records, which contracts continue and what maintenance is already overdue? A structured handover makes those gaps visible.

How we help

Define the property information and supplier records needed at handover.
Review available maintenance history and unresolved operational issues.
Identify contract transition questions, ownership and dependencies.
Develop an initial action plan for stabilisation and ongoing management.

What you receive

A property operations handover checklist.
An information-gap and operational action register.
A mobilisation plan with named responsibilities and review points.

The precise output and level of detail are agreed in your proposal before paid work begins.

Discuss the output you need

What we need to get started

The property schedule, transaction timetable, available asset records, supplier agreements and the proposed operating model. Share only information you are authorised to disclose.

A clearly defined appointment

This is operational property support. It does not replace legal, financial, valuation, environmental or technical acquisition due diligence, and is not a recommendation to proceed with a transaction.

We begin with a discussion of your property and the decision you need to make. We then set out the scope, responsibilities and fee. Site involvement across Devon and Cornwall is arranged to suit the brief; suitable records-based work can be delivered remotely across the UK.

Your questions, answered

Can you help after completion?

Yes. We can help organise records, clarify supplier arrangements and prioritise operational issues after control of the property has transferred.

Is this acquisition due diligence?

Our scope addresses maintenance and property operations. Formal legal, financial and specialist technical due diligence must be separately commissioned.

What if records are missing?

We record what is unavailable, why it matters and who should obtain or verify it. We do not treat a missing record as evidence that work has been completed.
