Acquisition & Due Diligence
FAM provides independent forestry acquisition and due diligence advice for buyers of UK forests, woodland creation land and related land assets. We review the forestry fundamentals, operational constraints, management history and portfolio fit before acquisition decisions are made.
Independent assessment before purchase
Forestry due diligence should test the practical reality behind the headline investment case. Productive area, crop quality, access, age class, roading and restocking liabilities can change both value and risk.
FAM reviews opportunities from the owner’s perspective, helping clients understand what they are buying, what it may cost to own and how the asset may perform under different management decisions.
Beyond the sale particulars
Acquisition advice may include title considerations, management history, productive area, crop quality, species, yield class, age-class structure, access, roads, harvesting constraints, restocking liabilities, grants, carbon assumptions, natural-capital assumptions, management costs and portfolio fit.
