Due Diligence Reviews
Property acquisition and estate management for both
residential accommodation and commercial properties
must undergo a process of due diligence to ensure
transparency at the time of any new purchase.

These Technical Due Diligence Reports, which detail the
physical condition of a property, (such as the Fire Safety
Assessments we produce), are increasingly in demand, as
financial institutions, investors and owner-occupiers look
ever more closely at the risks of buying and selling
property.
An accurate and honest assessment of the existing
building’s fire safety standards is therefore an essential
element to these proceedings and when done correctly can
save buyers time and avoid unexpected redevelopment
costs, incurred by having to complete expensive mandatory
upgrades.
KFS have extensive experience carrying out due diligence
reviews and surveys covering fire safety on a wide range of
private and public buildings.
We are able to submit comprehensive and professional
written assessments focusing on areas such as fire
engineering, smoke ventilation, fire system design and the
surveys of fire doors and walls.
Our written assessments will provide a detailed review of
the site, give expert opinion on any areas of concern that do
not meet applicable fire safety standards and highlight
issues which require significant investment to make good.
