Commercial Property Due Diligence

Optimise your location strategy with a comparative building analysis and detailed test fits.

When planning an office renovation or relocation, the decisions you make early on have the biggest impact. Property and people are two of the most significant costs for any business, so it pays to make informed choices. Our commercial property due diligence service helps you select the right site for your workplace, ensuring it supports your people, operations, and long-term goals. Crest Interiors offers an expert, hands-on approach to site assessments, technical reviews, and spatial planning, giving you confidence before signing the dotted line.

Select the building that’s right for your business

We start with a detailed analysis of your shortlisted properties. Working with mechanical, electrical, and fire specialists, we assess the condition and performance of each site’s base building services, identifying any limitations that could affect your design, construction, or budget. Using our tailored due diligence checklist, we help uncover hidden risks and opportunities. To support your decision-making, we also provide a comparative analysis of each property, including indicative costs per sqm, design constraints, and budget considerations.

Visualise potential with comparative test fits

Our team will prepare tailored test fit plans for each shortlisted property, helping you clearly compare how your business could function in each space and make confident, informed decisions. These test fits take into account factors such as natural light, accommodation capacity, circulation planning, staff density and flow, built zone allocations, and neighbourhood planning. The result is a clear visualisation of layout, space types, and staff capacity across each site, empowering you to choose the right fit for your people and business goals.

Our Process

Case Study | Finding the right site for UAC

When the Universities Admissions Centre (UAC) planned to consolidate three floors into one new space, we were engaged early to support the property selection process. Our due diligence revealed a hidden issue that would have significantly increased their costs. Backed by our test fit analysis, UAC had the insights to select a more suitable site aligned with their hybrid working needs.

I liked the consistent communication with the Crest Interiors team, it kept the project moving and ensured the brief hadn’t changed. I liked the way that Daniel, Katie and Garry guided the process with confidence and involved our staff in the workplace journey.
