Use one issue register to track legal, technical, commercial and operational questions.
01
Legal workstream
Gather seller authority, asset documents, contracts and the intended transaction structure for independent review.
02
Technical workstream
Arrange appropriate site, building, access, drainage and utility assessments. A visual inspection does not replace specialist investigation.
03
Commercial workstream
Reconcile the price with included assets, transaction costs and necessary works. Separate quotations from assumptions.
04
Decision register
Give every open issue an owner and a deadline. Agree what must be resolved before funds are committed.
Turn reading into a useful record
Keep three columns in your working notes: the question, the source of the answer and the action still needed. Give each open issue a responsible person. Ask the relevant professional to explain the limits of their review, and preserve assumptions alongside the conclusions.
Before making a commitment
Use this checklist to prepare a more precise conversation. It does not establish rights, condition, value or suitability of any individual property. Obtain the appropriate independent advice for your transaction and confirm current requirements with the responsible authority.
Official starting points
Consult the Department of Lands and BOI land guidance with your adviser. BOI guidance concerns its own context and does not determine eligibility for an ordinary property transaction.
