Commercial Due Diligence for Overseas Property Investors

The growing popularity along with the unregulated nature of the overseas property market has led to the sector being swamped with potential overseas investment opportunities. While this provides greater diversity for investors, it also presents greater risks and, therefore, requires a more cautious approach.

To avoid the pitfalls of the overseas property market it is crucial that overseas investors seek independent and unbiased advice, which is given only in their best interests. This type of analysis is fundamental and should be the keystone of all property investments. But, sadly, it is all too rare in the current market.

If you are thinking about buying an overseas property, and want an unbiased professional opinion, there are services which undertake a thorough investment appraisal on your behalf.

By arming yourself with the information provided below we believe you can have peace of mind that your overseas property investment is the best available for you and can help ensure that you secure it at the right price.

MyoverseasProperty.ie has linked with one such Irish company, Empire Consulting, which offers due diligence for overseas property investors. Their services can be broken down as follows:

Market Research and Analysis
The research typically has five levels of analysis: international, national, regional, local, and site specific. We have designed a matrix to assess each investment, allowing us to calculate and grade its potential and carry out a clear and concise appraisal. This approach ensures you are armed with all the facts needed to ensure your investment has sound foundations.
Competitor Analysis
‘The day you buy is the day you sell’ – by this we mean that the ability to sell is vital for any successful investment. All investors should have what is called ‘an exit strategy’, this means you have to know how or when you are going to sell your asset. By carrying out a detailed analysis of any competing developments we can establish if you are paying the right price, how much potential demand there will be, and how easy it should be for you to actually sell your investment.
Site Visits
We always recommend visiting a site before you buy. No amount of desk-based research is a substitute for an actual site visit. If you do not have the time to visit the site, or know what to look for, then we can produce a full appraisal of your site and its surroundings, including the local infrastructure.
Project Audit and Feasibility Study
Once the external factors of an investment have been assessed it is important to assess its internal structure i.e. the nuts and bolts of how a deal is put together. Empire analyses the financial details of your investment to ensure they are correct and that there are no inaccuracies or hidden costs. More importantly, we ensure they stack up for you so that you have a true indication of the potential returns expected from your property investment.
Financial Guidance
We also offer a free Financial Health Check to ensure you are funding your investment in the most efficient way possible.
Legal Guidance We strongly recommend that you seek Independent legal advice. This is vital to ensure that any deal is safe and that the contract is legally secure. It also helps protect you against any unknown liabilities that may occur.
