The 12-Point Due Diligence Framework

The twelve checks we run on every overseas project before a client ever sees it. For each one: what we check, why it matters, the questions to ask, the documents to request, and the red flag that should stop you.

Why it’s different

Written from site visits, not brochures

Questions to ask

Five questions per check that you can put straight to a developer, an agent or your lawyer.

Documents to request

The paperwork that proves each answer, so you are not taking anyone’s word for it, including ours.

Real red flags

What it looks like when a project fails a check, including forged papers and a pin drop that led to a village.

The full framework is free to read on The 12-Point Due Diligence Framework page, and we test a real project against it every Wednesday in the Due Diligence Library.
