Quick answer: Independent due diligence should cover the legal interest, seller authority, land boundaries, use rights, building condition, financial records and actual contractual obligations.
Legal documents
Request certificate or lease details, seller identification, parcel survey, any encumbrances, access rights and relevant agreements. Use an independent Indonesian lawyer or PPAT to verify them with the appropriate authorities.
Zoning and buildings
Check applicable spatial planning and the documents relevant to the building, such as PBG or older permits and SLF where required. Do not assume older or incomplete paperwork is acceptable for the planned use.
On-site checks
Walk the perimeter, inspect road access and drainage, test utilities, document neighbouring developments and commission a structural review. A public online map is not equivalent to registered title verification.
Operating and financial checks
For a rental property, reconcile bookings with settlement records and cost accounts. Review operator permissions, staff arrangements and management agreements.
Before completion
Track unresolved findings as verified, needs clarification or unacceptable. Do not release final funds while material title, permit or authority issues remain unresolved.
