Development Impact
Through detailed technical due diligence, independent surveying, and close collaboration with the development team, Approved Property Services (APS) supported the successful acquisition of the Bayview Gardens development by North & East Housing Association. Our structured surveying and reporting process provided clear visibility on building condition, regulatory compliance, and long-term asset performance, enabling informed decision-making prior to completion.
The project delivered a high-quality residential scheme comprising modern apartments alongside the sensitive restoration of a protected Georgian structure and historic coach house. By identifying potential risks early and ensuring thorough technical oversight, APS helped ensure the development met the required standards for long-term ownership, compliance, and asset management.
Bayview Gardens now provides high-quality homes within a well-designed and sustainable residential environment, contributing positively to the local community in Drogheda. The project demonstrates APS’s expertise in supporting Approved Housing Bodies with technical due diligence, building surveys, and acquisition support for complex residential developments across Ireland.
