Investment Property Due Diligence
Move from marketing material to verified information with a structured review of the property, documents, location and ongoing obligations.
Begin with a clear framework.
Due diligence is the work of checking what you are actually buying and what may affect ownership. The exact investigations depend on the property, state, contract and your circumstances, so use this as an organising framework rather than a substitute for professional advice.
Contract, title, disclosures, approvals, strata records and conditions requiring legal interpretation.
Planning, local supply, amenity, environmental considerations and factors affecting use or demand.
Four due-diligence workstreams
01
Confirm the listing facts
Verify the address, price, availability, inclusions, land or internal areas and what is represented by images or plans.
02
Inspect and investigate
Arrange the inspections and reports appropriate to the property type, age, condition and proposed use.
03
Review the legal position
Have an independent legal professional explain the contract, title, restrictions, deadlines and risks.
04
Check the ownership plan
Confirm finance, insurance, property management, expected costs and the evidence behind rental assumptions.
Continue your research.
Common questions
Is a new property exempt from due diligence?
No. New property has different checks, including contracts, plans, inclusions, delivery and developer or builder information.
Can an agent or seller replace independent advice?
No. Their role and interests are different from those of your independent advisers.
What if information is missing?
Treat the gap as unresolved. Ask for the document or evidence and understand the consequences before proceeding.
