ESG Property Investor Survey Q3 2023

To understand how ESG factors into investment decisions, we surveyed 45 investors who together represent almost £300 billion in assets under management.

Improving existing assets 

Improvement was a key focus for the investors.

Of those surveyed:

• 76% aim to improve the efficiency of existing properties
• Just under 60% are looking to acquire poor ESG-performing assets to upgrade
• Around 20% are looking at disposing of poor ESG-performing assets

ESG considerations in transactions 

ESG due diligence is going to become increasingly commonplace for transactions.

Of those surveyed: 

• 61% require an EPC Plus or pathway report before an acquisition, which can help assess capital expenditure requirements and improvement pathways
• More than 50% require CRREM analysis before a new acquisition to understand the asset's impact on overall portfolio performance

NABERS building certificates 

We could see a wider adoption of NABERS building certificates.

Of those surveyed:

• Energy use data is required by nearly 70% of those surveyed before acquisition
• Despite NABERS UK being relatively new, 44% of those surveyed already own or are developing a NABERS-rated building
