DUE DILIGENCE
SERVICES
Pembroke Realty Group is a market-proven Hampton Roads commercial real estate firm with decades of experience in commercial real estate due diligence, commercial property inspections, and property condition assessments.
Commercial real estate due diligence is the process of evaluating the physical condition, observable deficiencies, accessible building systems, maintenance needs and potential property-related liabilities before acquiring or leasing a commercial asset.

CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER
“Commercial property due diligence gives owners, buyers and investors a clearer understanding of physical condition and potential property-related risks before a major real estate decision is made.”
Know the condition before you commit.
Commercial properties can carry significant and costly risks. Roofing, HVAC, drainage, moisture, deferred maintenance, and aging building systems may require substantial investment after purchase or lease.
A commercial property inspection and property condition assessment document observable deficiencies and maintenance concerns before you commit to the property. For tenants, this can also clarify building-condition issues that may become their responsibility under a lease. The resulting property condition report provides clear, documented information about the property’s observable condition, helping buyers, investors, property owners, and commercial tenants make their own informed decisions.
Visual assessment of accessible structural components (foundations, columns, walls, floor systems and roof framing) for observable signs of distress, deterioration or deferred maintenance.
Review of accessible roofing, exterior walls, façades, windows, doors, flashing and visible building-envelope conditions. Coastal exposure and moisture intrusion receive particular attention.
Observation of accessible areas for visible moisture intrusion, staining, water damage and conditions that may indicate potential mold or moisture-related concerns.
Visual inspection of accessible HVAC equipment, plumbing components, drainage, electrical service and other observable building systems to identify apparent deficiencies and maintenance concerns.
Observation of accessible fire and life-safety components: visible alarms, extinguishers, emergency lighting, exit signage, and egress conditions. A visual observation only, not formal certification.
Evaluation of observable conditions affecting parking areas, paved surfaces, sidewalks, curbs, fencing, exterior site improvements, grading and drainage across the property.
And more: depending on the property, our due diligence review may also document additional observable building conditions, maintenance concerns and areas that warrant further specialist evaluation.
A clear, disciplined process built around observable property conditions.
