Due diligence is the part of the purchase that should happen before the problem.

Due diligence is not one document. It is a structured review of the property, the counterparty, transaction documents, payment position, physical condition and commercial assumptions supporting the purchase. Check the property and counterparty: Confirm identity and authority, the property or project registration position, material encumbrances or payment obligations and signing authority. Read the transaction documents: Review payment, completion or handover provisions, default consequences, notices, charges, representations, assignment restrictions and any waiver or discharge wording. Test the commercial claims: Rental projections, appreciation claims, service-charge estimates and promised facilities should be checked against reliable evidence. Do I need due diligence for a new developer project? Yes. New projects still require checks on the developer, project status, contract, payment structure and delivery obligations. Is a broker’s description enough evidence? No. Marketing information can help, but ownership, project, payment and contractual matters should be verified through relevant documents and official records. When should due diligence be completed? As early as possible and before signing binding documents or paying amounts that may be difficult to recover.
