Property Due Diligence Explained for Home Buyers

What due diligence is

A disciplined look at facts that could change your willingness to pay or your ability to get a mortgage, before you are emotionally locked in.

Layers

Public data, seller disclosures, professional searches, and physical survey.

Write it down

Notes with dates and sources beat memory when you compare multiple homes.

With conveyancing

Your solicitor converts issues into enquiries; you supply evidence from your diligence pack.
