A nationwide property due diligence programme verifying 140+ retail assets in just six weeks, delivering trusted area data to support accurate portfolio valuation and a major commercial transaction.
Plowman Craven was appointed to deliver a large-scale property due diligence programme across a major supermarket portfolio as part of a significant commercial transaction.
The project required the rapid mobilisation of survey teams across England, Scotland and Wales to capture and verify property information across the portfolio, providing accurate and consistent data to support valuation and transaction decisions.
With a demanding commercial timetable driving the programme, the challenge was not simply the number of properties involved but the need to survey them consistently and accurately across multiple locations.
The client required reliable area information across the portfolio within a six-week timeframe, meaning survey teams had to be mobilised nationwide while maintaining consistent methodologies, quality standards and deliverables.
Effective coordination was essential to manage access, survey activity, data processing and quality assurance while keeping the overall programme on schedule.
Plowman Craven mobilised surveyors across the UK, supported by a central project management team responsible for coordinating the programme and maintaining consistency across every site.
Surveyors utilised a combination of laser meters, tablets, scanners and total stations, selecting the most appropriate technology for each property and site condition.
Captured information was processed through CAD and subjected to a structured quality assurance process, creating consistent and reliable area plans across the portfolio.
This combination of nationwide resource, technology and centralised project management enabled a substantial volume of property information to be captured, processed and verified within the required timeframe.
The programme provided the client with a consistent and independently verified property dataset across the supermarket portfolio.
Accurate area verification provided the client with reliable information to support portfolio valuation and commercial decision-making.
More than 140 retail properties were surveyed across England, Scotland and Wales within a six-week programme.

Using the right technology for each individual site avoided unnecessary data capture while maintaining the high levels of accuracy required for valuation purposes.
