– even under time pressure. This was the case when the
acquisitions department of a real estate investor quite
unexpectedly came across a promising property in a
prime location, serious tenants on medium-term leases
and an asking price that was well within the budget.
TÜV Rheinland was able to make a team of experts avail-
able to the investor at short notice and was awarded the
contract to carry out the Real Estate Due Diligence. The
result was extremely valuable to the investor: The compre-
hensive report not only described the state of the building
and its technical systems in detail, but also highlighted
repair and restoration requirements that had not been
apparent beforehand. Furthermore, the investor’s purchase
decision was facilitated by a detailed and clearly formu-
lated analysis of possible harmful substances in the build-
ing, legacy contamination on the site and the energy effi-
ciency of the building. After this very positive experience,
the investor will again call on the professional expertise
of the TÜV Rheinland specialists in any future real estate
transactions.
