A property transaction is one of the largest commitments many people and businesses make. Due diligence is how you learn what you are actually buying or leasing before you are bound to it.
Questions about title and ownership
Who owns the property, and are there any restrictions, easements, or charges registered against it? Confirm that the seller has the right to sell on the terms proposed.
Questions about the property itself
Are there planning, zoning, or building compliance issues? Are there known defects, environmental concerns, or outstanding works?
Questions about existing arrangements
If the property is let, review the leases carefully. Understand rent, term, break rights, and repair obligations that will pass to you.
Questions about the transaction
- What conditions must be satisfied before completion?
- Who is responsible for which costs and taxes?
- What happens if completion is delayed?
Conclusion
Good due diligence does not remove every risk, but it helps you decide with open eyes. Our team can help structure the review and explain what the findings mean for you.
