Introduction
Before You Commit Your Money, Check the Property
A property can look like a good opportunity and still require careful investigation before you proceed.
Our property due diligence service helps buyers investigate important information about a property and the transaction so they can better understand potential concerns before committing their funds.
Whether you are buying land, a house, an investment property or a developer-led project, due diligence should come before a major financial commitment.
What we check
What Does Our Property
Due Diligence Check?
Property Checks
We investigate relevant information about the property itself to help identify important issues that should be considered before you proceed.
Title Checks
We investigate the title information associated with the property and help you understand relevant ownership and title considerations.
Developer Checks
For developer-led properties, we investigate relevant information about the developer so buyers can make a more informed decision.
Documentation Checks
Get guidance on the verification of relevant land titles and essential property documents.
Loan & Encumbrance Checks
We check whether the property has been used as security for a loan or has relevant loan-related or financial encumbrance considerations.
Comprehensive Property Search
Our comprehensive search brings the relevant checks together to provide a broader assessment before you commit your funds.
Why it matters
Why Is Property Due Diligence Important?
A Property Listing Is Not Proof of a Safe Transaction
A listing, brochure or seller's explanation does not by itself establish that every important aspect of a property has been checked.
Documents Need to Be Investigated
Property documents should be examined carefully rather than accepted at face value.
Developers Should Also Be Checked
When buying from a developer, the developer is part of the decision not just the property.
Financial Interests Can Matter
A property may have been used in connection with a loan or other financial obligation. This is why loan-related checks are important.
Know Before You Commit
The goal of due diligence is to help you understand important considerations before you make a major financial commitment.
The cost of skipping it
What Can Happen When You
Skip Property Due Diligence?
Questionable Property Information
You may discover important inconsistencies only after money has already been committed.
Title or Ownership Concerns
Issues relating to title or ownership may create significant uncertainty around a transaction.
Documentation Problems
Missing, inconsistent or questionable documentation can create problems later in the transaction.
Developer-Related Concerns
A buyer may overlook important information about the developer when focusing only on the property itself.
Loan-Related Issues
A property connected to a loan or financial encumbrance can create risks that a buyer may not expect.
Expensive Mistakes
The cost of investigating a property before purchase can be far smaller than the financial consequences of discovering a major issue after payment.
