Acuitus is the leading UK commercial property auction house, specialising in institutional and yield-driven investment lots. Quarterly London auctions feature high-value commercial assets — typically £500,000 to £20M+ — with sophisticated investor competition and rigorous pack preparation. The complexity of the typical Acuitus lot means that a thorough pre-bid review is not just helpful but expected practice among serious bidders.
Acuitus packs are commercial-grade, with extensive lease documentation, schedules of condition, environmental and structural reports, and detailed income analyses for income-producing lots. Pack quality is generally high; risk usually lies in the future income trajectory, break clauses, outstanding rent reviews, and any side letters or supplemental agreements not bundled with the headline lease. VAT election and SDLT treatment on commercial lots at this value level warrant careful confirmation.
Every Bidq report follows the same framework. This is an anonymised example representative of the issues that commonly arise in Acuitus packs.
Register and plan analysis. Charges, restrictions, easements, third-party interests.
Every clause read in full. Indemnities, retentions, vacant possession, buyer’s-costs clauses.
Local authority, drainage and water, environmental. What’s present, what’s missing, what it means.
A defensible R/A/G position with a recommended ceiling — for the bid you’re actually planning.
Three tiers. The same diligence framework and the same solicitor team across all of them. Choose the turnaround that fits the Acuitus sale you're bidding into.
A full pre-acquisition legal review — auction pack, seller pack or off-market documents. Title, contract, leases, searches, planning — distilled into a structured risk report.
Same depth as the Standard Report, prioritised through our solicitor team for investors working against a lot date, exchange deadline or off-market timeline.
For acquisitions where the deal merits a deeper review — typically transactions above £2.5M, properties with five or more occupational leases, mixed-use or commercial elements, multi-title or development-track sites, or portfolio purchases.
A deeper, longer-form review for material acquisitions. Senior reviewing solicitor with commercial property experience. No page or document-count limit.
