What is Due Diligence?

Due diligence in real estate involves a thorough investigation to verify a property’s legal, financial, and physical status before a transaction. This includes:

• - Confirming legal ownership and checking for liens or disputes.

• - Reviewing documents like land deeds and permits for compliance with regulations, such as Nepal’s Lands Act 2021.

• - Inspecting the property’s condition and boundaries to ensure no zoning or legal violations.

• - Identifying risks, such as environmental or financial liabilities.

What is Property Valuation?

Property valuation determines a property’s fair market value based on:

• - Location and proximity to amenities.

• - Current market trends and demand.

• - Property size, condition, and features.

• - Recent sales of comparable properties.

Conducted by experts following guidelines like those of the Nepal Valuer's Association, valuations ensure fair pricing in a market where Kathmandu Valley properties are appreciating at 27.7% annually but recent depressive market has shown the opposite so, the expert assessment is much needed.
