Which Documents Should I Request First for Thorough Due Diligence?

Due Diligence · 2026-10-03

Start with the documents that establish ownership and transfer rights and that confirm you can legally buy what is offered. Key first documents are the title deed or land register evidence and the seller’s identity and authority to sell, followed by any encumbrance certificates showing mortgages, liens or servitudes. If there are leases, leases or occupancy rights, collect the full terms. Confirm boundaries, access rights and road/utility easements. Then check planning and building documents: zoning, permits, building approvals, occupancy certificates, and any restrictive covenants that affect use or resale. Also gather the latest tax bills, maintenance fees, and details of any ongoing contracts for common areas, if applicable. Finally, request the draft sale and transfer agreement and any existing contract for review by an independent lawyer. Ask for written confirmations of all findings. Prioritizing these items helps you identify risks early and avoid surprises at closing.
