What is the importance of Due Diligence?

Due diligence is a crucial element in development projects. It encompasses legal, financial, practical, and physical factors that impact your project’s feasibility.

To protect your position, due diligence conditions need to be documented. This is important when you wish to acquire an asset for subdivision and development through a conditional contract. Similarly when you’re utilising put and/or call options.

The language and clauses within this important document must ensure:

Adequate access

We ensure that you and your agents gain access to the property for essential investigations, such as environmental assessment, soil tests, compaction testing, and invasive inspections.

Buyer's rights are upheld to mitigate risk

Meticulous due diligence conditions will ensure your rights are upheld throughout the full scope of your investigations and enquiries.

We comprehensively address any risk elements associated with due diligence investigations and ensure that the seller provides you with all pertinent information regarding the property — including plans, infrastructure details, certificates, and more.

Existing use & restrictions are addressed

The document we create will address existing property use, including leases, as well as any restriction to access for due diligence purposes.
