Mergers and Acquisitions

Mergers and acquisitions involving industrial facilities, manufacturing plants or operational property portfolios require a clear understanding of the condition, compliance status and operational suitability of the built assets involved.
Buildings, infrastructure and plant can represent a significant proportion of transaction risk, particularly where sites include complex services, specialist environments or ageing facilities.
Ambrey Baker provides technical due diligence support for acquisitions involving industrial, logistics, food production and temperature-controlled environments.
With almost 40 years of experience working across complex operational sites, our team understands the technical issues that can affect value, future investment requirements and operational continuity after acquisition.
Our assessments review the condition and performance of key building and infrastructure elements, including structural components, roofing and cladding systems, building services, utilities infrastructure, drainage, yards, loading areas and external works. Where relevant, we also consider specialist plant interfaces, hazardous materials, environmental risks and operational constraints that may affect future use, maintenance or redevelopment.
The purpose of this review is to give investors, operators and acquisition teams a realistic picture of the asset base they are taking on. Our reports identify material defects, maintenance liabilities, compliance concerns, capital expenditure risks and operational issues that may influence transaction decisions, negotiation strategy or post-acquisition planning.
Where relevant, our technical due diligence can help clients understand issues associated with applicable UK legislation and compliance requirements, including building safety, workplace safety, fire safety, asbestos management and environmental risk. This provides a practical basis for identifying where further investigation, remedial works or management actions may be required.
Ambrey Baker works alongside legal, financial and corporate advisory teams to provide clear, engineering-led insight into the facilities involved in a transaction. Our experience across industrial and operational environments allows us to identify issues efficiently, communicate findings clearly and support well-informed investment decisions.
