Property due diligence Brisbane
Complete the checks before you commit.
A building and timber pest inspection is important, but it is not the only due-diligence check a purchaser should complete.
Eight essential checks
A practical buyer due-diligence pathway.
Your solicitor should advise which searches and contractual protections are appropriate for the transaction.
Title, boundaries and easements
Confirm the legal description, registered interests, easements, covenants and boundaries.
Planning and overlays
Check zoning, flood, bushfire, heritage, character, landslide, noise and relevant overlays.
Approvals and records
Obtain available approvals, final certificates, plumbing records and information for additions or alterations.
Services and infrastructure
Confirm water, sewer, stormwater, electricity, gas and telecommunications through official sources.
Building and timber pests
Arrange an independent visual inspection within the contract timeframe and read the full report.
Specialist investigations
Obtain appropriately qualified specialist advice where evidence or uncertainty warrants it.
Insurance, finance and valuation
Confirm insurance availability, finance conditions, lender requirements and valuation matters.
Keep the roles clear: a visual building and timber
pest inspection does not verify title, boundaries, approvals,
statutory compliance, engineering adequacy, concealed conditions or
future performance.
