Property Consultancy
Practical advice for buildings, property and development.
Virtus Consult provides independent Building and Property Consultancy services to owners, occupiers, investors, developers and organisations responsible for managing property assets.
Buildings must adapt throughout their lives to changing operational requirements, occupier expectations, regulatory obligations and investment priorities. We help clients understand the condition of their assets, assess potential liabilities and make informed decisions about acquisition, occupation, maintenance, refurbishment and development.
Our involvement ranges from individual property assessments to the review and monitoring of substantial development projects and property portfolios.
Our Services
Building Surveying & Property Advice
We advise on building condition, defects, maintenance requirements, refurbishment and adaptation.
Our services include property inspections, condition assessments, investigation and reporting on building defects, and advice on maintaining and improving existing assets.
Dilapidations
We advise landlords and tenants on their repairing and reinstatement obligations under commercial leases.
Our services include inspections, preparation and assessment of schedules of dilapidations, evaluation of remedial works, cost assessments and negotiation of claims.
Our approach considers the building’s condition, the relevant lease obligations and the commercial implications of the available options.
Technical Due Diligence
We provide independent technical assessments to support property acquisitions, development opportunities and investment decisions.
Our work includes reviewing available property and technical information, identifying significant risks, assessing potential expenditure and coordinating specialist advice where required.
We help clients understand the physical and development-related considerations that may influence a transaction.

Depending on the appointment, our involvement can include reviewing project documentation, monitoring construction progress, assessing reported risks and providing independent advice on emerging issues.
