Due Diligence in Real Estate Transactions

In general, there are three forms of due diligence in real estate
transactions: financial, legal and physical. Smart purchasers pay careful
attention to all three. Financial due diligence is generally more applicable
to commercial transactions and consists of acquiring and reviewing
financial documentation, such as current and historical financial
statements of the property, property tax bills, federal tax returns, utility
bills and other proof of expenses. Legal due diligence is crucial in all real
estate transactions and involves acquiring and reviewing all legal
documentation related to the property, including leases, title and survey,
and allows purchasers to determine anything that might legally impact
the property, such as rights of occupancy, liens, encroachments and/or
restrictions on use or development. Physical due diligence refers to
arranging for, obtaining and reviewing documentation that shows the
physical condition of the property, including on-site physical inspections.
