INREV Guidelines Consultation

INREV is embarking on an important project to evolve elements of the INREV Guidelines, keeping INREV standards ahead of the curve and ensuring they remain practical, transparent and fit for purpose — without unnecessary disruption. The process will be industry-led and collaborative, involving INREV committees, the Guidelines Steering Committee, the Management Board, and input from industry associations across the globe such as ANREV, NCREIF, and PREA. 

The consultation will cover the INREV NAV module, OpRE considerations, and the Due Diligence Questionnaire (DDQ)

Up for consultation

INREV NAV Module

This module has been a trusted industry standard for over a decade. Now is an opportune moment to carefully review and enhance it — while keeping the underlying methodology stable.  
 
What might change? 
The review process will consider how the NAV framework can remain robust and practical in the context of emerging trends, such as growing OpRE investments, ensuring any changes are thoughtful, responsible, and aligned with industry needs. 

OpRE considerations 

Operational real estate (OpRE) strategies are gaining prominence and reporting expectations are growing..   
 
What might change? 
INREV’s next step is to assess how OpRE considerations can be more systematically integrated into the Guidelines. The goal is not to impose rules, but to support investor confidence through enhanced transparency and governance guidance, reflecting the realities of new operational models. 

Due Diligence Questionnaire (DDQ)

The DDQ remains one of INREV’s most widely used templates, providing a standardised framework for efficient and consistent investor due diligence.   

What might change? 
The update will streamline the questionnaire, incorporating emerging topics such as OpRE/platform investing, cybersecurity and AI, and ensuring existing questions stay relevant for investor decision-making. The aim is to deliver a more focused and efficient tool, rather than a longer or more complex one.
