Good property decisions come from asking the right questions in the right order. This checklist separates commercial and investment due diligence, which an advisor like Aasti can carry out, from legal due diligence, which must be done by a qualified advocate.
Objective
- Is this for rental income, long-term appreciation, self-use or a combination?
- How long can you hold it, and how quickly might you need the money back?
Location
- Travel time to employment centres, schools, hospitals and transport.
- Which nearby infrastructure is operational, under construction, sanctioned or only announced?
- How much new supply is coming up nearby?
Developer and project
- Delivery record on previous projects.
- Construction quality on site and in completed projects.
- Specifications, carpet area and common amenities in writing.
Financials
- All-in cost including taxes, registration, parking and deposits.
- Realistic rent and holding costs.
- Conservative, base and optimistic scenarios — try our ROI Calculator.
Exit
- Who would buy this from you, and how easily?
- Are there many similar units competing for resale?
Legal due diligence (your advocate)
- Title chain, encumbrances and litigation.
- Validity of approvals, land conversion and regulatory registration.
- Agreement terms, power of attorney and sale deed.
