Many property acquisitions are subject to a Due Diligence study. Whilst a large amount of data is available through internet searches (Titles, Contamination, Easements etc), a large amount of information is available to analyse by valuation professionals including property History and market related data.
In many cases this information requires expert analysis and rationalisation- an expertise PHV has perfected over decades of market activity. This analysis would include another necessary Due Diligence Input- a Risk Analysis.
