The importance of the Due Diligence for real estate

Due diligence consists of analyzing all the documents related to the property and verifying compliance with current regulations concerning the cadastral, urban planning, plant engineering, and construction aspects of the property. These are necessary conditions to make the property suitable for sale. Due diligence is a true protective tool for the buyer, which is why it is a crucial step in the property purchase process and should be carried out well before signing a purchase proposal.

Tips for selling your home: what causes mistrust in a potential buyer

Selling your home can be a long and complex process, especially if you are not prepared for an undertaking of this magnitude. One of the first steps to take, therefore, is to engage the services of a qualified real estate agent. Equally crucial is to organise your property in good time in terms of the necessary documentation, finding relevant information and, more specifically, minor repairs. Here, then, are the main aspects to consider when preparing your home for sale.

What aspects should be considered when selling a house?

Real estate is often the largest possession we have. Therefore, when it comes to selling the house we live in or a flat we own, it is virtually impossible not to consider memories that bind us to them. The decision to sell one's home is therefore complex, can often give rise to doubts and certainly has a whole series of issues to deal with. So what are the aspects to consider when selling a house? What is the right time to sell? How much is my property worth? How should the transfer of ownership be organised? What are the costs involved? These are just some of the questions you will face when selling. Related to these are some frequent mistakes, which are made especially when selling privately and without the competent support of an appraiser or estate agent.
