ColoTrader Datacenter Site Transaction Services

Overview

At ColoTrader, we specialise in facilitating datacenter transactions for both new and legacy builds. Whether you are looking to purchase, lease, or sell datacenter facilities, our experienced team provides expert guidance through every stage of the process. We ensure that your transaction is backed by comprehensive site surveys, due diligence, and power capacity reports from local Distribution Network Operators (DNOs) to make informed decisions.

Our Services

1. Site Surveys for New and Legacy Builds

Accurate site surveys are critical for the successful acquisition, development, or sale of datacenter assets. Our team conducts thorough surveys to assess:

  • Site location and accessibility
  • Structural integrity of legacy buildings
  • Scalability for future expansions
  • Environmental factors (e.g., flood risks, climate conditions)
  • Existing infrastructure (power, cooling, fiber connectivity)

We provide detailed reports to help you understand the true potential and limitations of any site.

2. Due Diligence for Datacenter Acquisitions

Our due diligence service ensures that all critical factors are evaluated before any transaction is finalised. This includes:

  • Legal and regulatory compliance
  • Environmental and planning permissions
  • Equipment and infrastructure assessments
  • Security and safety protocols
  • Tenant and lease evaluations (for co-location or leased data centers)

Our thorough approach helps mitigate risk and ensures the best possible return on your investment.

3. Power Reports and Assessments

Power is the backbone of any datacenter. Understanding the power capabilities of a site is crucial, particularly in legacy builds or when planning for future growth. ColoTrader works closely with local Distribution Network Operators (DNOs) to provide:

  • Accurate reports on current power availability
  • Future power upgrade options
  • Load capacity analysis
  • Redundancy and backup power solutions
  • Grid connection feasibility

Our in-depth reports enable you to make well-informed decisions about energy provisioning and sustainability for your datacenter.
