Due-diligence checklist

  • Confirm who holds title and the authority to sell or let, through qualified legal advice
  • Survey the boundaries independently
  • Visit at different times and in the rains
  • Get written quotes for renovation and utilities
  • Collect comparable executed rents, not just listings
  • Use documented, receipted payments only

TL does not state land-ownership rules here; confirm them with the relevant authorities and an independent lawyer.
