Why us
How to conduct due diligence on a property developer before buying real estate?
Conducting thorough due diligence is essential before purchasing any property. In many cases, prospective buyers overlook the importance of researching the background of the property developer they are considering or simply rely on the reputation of well-known developers.
However, even established developers can have varying levels of reliability and differences in the quality of their projects.
Proper due diligence helps identify potential legal and financial risks in real estate deals.The verification process may be divided into two stages based on when the developer obtained the rights for construction, taking into account the new regulations governing the sale and taxation of new properties.
If the construction rights were obtained before October 10, 2022.
We assess the legal and technical aspects based on the construction stage:
- Review the project documentation, technical specifications, and expert evaluations.
- Verify the developer's land rights.
- Examine the required permits and documentation.
- Conduct a comprehensive legal audit of the client and other parties involved in the construction process.
- Evaluate the funding structure.
If the construction rights were obtained after October 10, 2022.
We evaluate the legal and technical aspects of the project by cross-referencing with the information in the following registries: the Unified State Electronic System in the Construction Sector and the State Register of Real Rights.
We analyze the contract between the construction client and the developer regarding the organization and financing of the project. Specifically, consider:
- How future real estate units will be distributed between the client and the developer, which will require initial state registration of special property rights.
- The specific list of real estate objects comprising the guaranteed share, along with their associated real property rights.
- The procedures to ensure project completion in the event of contract termination
A land plot audit in Ukraine
Depending on the intended use and purpose of the land plot, we conduct several checks:
- The legal documents that establish ownership rights, including government registration, any encumbrances, and imposed restrictions.
- The history of property rights transfers.
- The technical specifications of the land, such as its size, boundaries, location, potential overlapping boundaries with neighboring properties, and any relevant archival information.
If the client intends to purchase the land for construction purposes, we also conduct an additional review of the local urban planning documentation. This allows us to determine the feasibility of obtaining the necessary permits for future construction and ensures compliance with local regulations.
Answers to frequently asked questions

Much depends on who the developer is. If this is not the first project the developer is commissioning, then they will most likely also commision your project as well. But this does not always happen.

In order to give a positive answer to this question - you need: First, invest in trustworthy property. Secondly, monitor the construction process and regularly communicate with developers. In this case, it is possible to accurately count on the commissioning of the property on time.
