Five questions beyond the brochure

A brochure shows a possible future. Due diligence checks whether the exact home, price, and timing fit your plan.

1. Who will use this home?

Name the likely owner, tenant, or future buyer. Their budget, work trip, school needs, layout, and building-cost limit should match the unit.

2. What exists today?

Separate open roads, shops, schools, transport, and buildings from future plans. Note which future items matter to your reason for buying.

3. What is the full cost?

Add buying fees, service charges, finance, furnishing, management, repairs, and vacancy. Compare the full cost with real alternatives.

4. What official facts can I check?

Use the property regulator for the project, developer, escrow, title, and registration status. Match the official name and number with your documents.

5. What could make the plan fail?

Test late delivery, lower rent, slower resale, higher costs, and a missed area milestone. Know which risks you can accept before you reserve.

Check every claim and document for the exact project. Use legal advice for the contract.
