Real Estate Due Diligence Before Purchase
Conducting Due Diligence is a critically important stage before purchasing real estate — whether residential or commercial. A pre-purchase property inspection is a comprehensive legal and technical review of the property that helps identify potential risks for the buyer, avoid fraud and hidden defects, and ensure the legal clarity of the transaction.
What’s Included in Real Estate Due Diligence
1. Legal Review
- Verification of title documents (sale agreement, ownership certificate, extract from the State Register of Property Rights, etc.).
- Analysis of ownership history and title transfer chain.
- Identification of arrests, prohibitions on alienation, mortgages, and other encumbrances.
- Checking data consistency in the State Register of Property Rights, Unified State Register of Legal Entities, and Court Decision Register.
- Verification of third-party rights (especially in cases of shared ownership or inheritance).
2. Technical and Structural Assessment
- Evaluation of the technical condition of the property, including structural elements, utilities, and facades.
- Review of the BTI technical passport and design documentation.
- Identification of unauthorized construction or remodeling.
- Compliance check with construction regulations (e.g., DBN B.2.2-15:2019 “Residential Buildings. General Provisions” or DBN B.2.2-10:2011 for public buildings).
3. Urban Planning Review (for new buildings and land plots)
- Review of urban planning conditions and restrictions (UPC).
- Analysis of land use designation according to the State Land Cadastre.
- Compliance check with zoning regulations and functional land designation according to the Master Plan.
