Title, Easements & Constraints: Issues that affect design, access or yield.
Site Access & Infrastructure: Servicing, access points and physical constraints.

Looking to buy smart?

These FAQs cover the most common client questions, helping you understand what’s involved in a property acquisition report, when to request one, and how it can reduce risk while sharpening your strategy.

What is a Property Acquisition Report?

A Property Acquisition Report by Forge Developments is a pre-purchase assessment that sits between a basic feasibility check and full due diligence.

It gives you a clear, strategic view of a site’s development potential, including planning pathways, constraints, red flags and acquisition considerations, before you commit to a contract.

Think of it as expert development advice before you buy.

Why a Property Acquisition Report Matters

Most buyers focus on price.
Experienced developers focus on planning risk, yield and approvals.

Without proper acquisition advice, buyers often:

Overestimate yield
Miss planning restrictions
Underestimate approval complexity
Buy sites that look good but don’t perform

Forge Developments role is to protect you from costly mistakes and help you acquire sites with confidence.
