Transaction Support

What is transaction support

In a real estate transaction, ESG rarely determines whether the deal goes through. It determines the price. Excessive energy consumption, an incorrect EPC, non-compliance with taxonomy, unaddressed climate risks, a lack of a decarbonisation or certification strategy — each of these gaps enters negotiations as an argument for lowering the valuation or for adding an extra reserve in the agreement.

We support both sides of the process. However, the scope of work is different, because the risk is different.

The seller prepares the asset for going to market. The goal is a complete set of verified data assembled before the process begins — so that the buyer does not discover anything that the seller did not already find. A gap discovered in due diligence costs many times more than the same gap closed six months earlier.

The buyer assesses what is actually being acquired. The asset is purchased together with its regulatory obligations for the next decade: the cost of bringing it up to standard, the risk of losing tenants, the risk of a stranded asset. Our task is to value this before the price is set.

The scope includes:

1. ESG Due Diligence with modelling
2. regulatory risk assessment and the CRREM pathway
3. CAPEX planning and valuation
4. preparation of data for the data room (seller side)
5. cross-border ESG DD for assets in multiple jurisdictions
6. project management of remedial actions after closing

Expert Opinion

“ESG rarely determines whether a transaction will go through. It determines the price.”

Benefits for the seller

Valuation protection

Data prepared before the process removes the buyer’s arguments for lowering the price during negotiations.

Faster closing

A complete ESG package in the data room eliminates rounds of questions that can drag the process out by weeks.

Wider pool of buyers

Institutional buyers and funds have their own ESG thresholds. An asset that does not meet them is dropped from the list before the first conversation.

Benefits for the buyer

Price based on actual costs

A valuation of the expenditure needed to bring the building up to standard — a concrete figure on the table instead of a buffer.

Revealed regulatory risk

Identification of obligations that will come into effect after the asset is acquired, and the horizon in which this will happen.

A plan ready from day one

The findings from due diligence go directly into an action schedule for the new owner.

Transaction Support

We will guide you through the entire project process

Mandate and timeline - We define the scope and transaction schedule. Result: a work plan matched to the pace of the process, not the other way around.
Initial screening - A quick assessment of the asset for red flags before you commit full resources. Result: a decision on whether and how deeply to proceed.
ESG Due Diligence - We verify operational data, regulatory compliance, certifications, and energy profile. Result: a picture of the actual state of affairs rather than claims from the presentation.
CAPEX and risk modeling - We estimate the cost of bringing the asset up to standard and place it on the CRREM pathway. Result: every risk comes with a number you can take into negotiations.
Report and support in negotiations - We turn the findings into arguments for your side of the table. Result: a position based on evidence, not opinion.
After closing - We carry out remedial actions or hand over a ready-to-implement plan. Result: continuity between due diligence and execution.
