Dye & Durham Limited, a leading provider of cloud-based software and technology solutions designed to improve efficiency and increase productivity for legal and business professionals, today announced it has acquired Future Climate Info Limited and certain assets from CLS Property Insights Limited (together “FCI”) for approximately £55 million.

Through its cloud-based technology, FCI provides access to critical intelligence needed in assessing environmental risk in a property transaction by analyzing proprietary data. The acquisition will enhance Dye & Durham’s offerings to its U.K. based clients, providing seamless integration with a product that is already accessed through Dye & Durham’s workflow platform today and used on most real estate transactions.

said Matt Proud, CEO of Dye & Durham.

“Through our Platform, our customers are, by far, one of the largest consumers of environmental, ground risk and liability reports in the United Kingdom. The acquisition of FCI, along with the recently announced acquisition of Terrafirma, will allow us to drive significant revenue synergies as we provide a far more efficient and integrated offering.”

While the acquisition multiple is not disclosed, the Company believes that it will be able to achieve post-synergy returns that are consistent with the Company’s targeted return model.
