The gap Deal Diligent does not cover
Property due diligence tells you about the asset. It does not tell you about the company selling it, the directors behind it, or whether those directors have a history of insolvency, fraud, or phoenix activity. If you are buying a property from a company (rather than an individual), you face two risks:
Property risk (Deal Diligent)
Flooding, contamination, planning issues, title defects, rights of way, covenants. These are risks attached to the land.
Company risk (RecoupIQ)
Director track record, insolvency history, phoenix patterns, charges on assets, ability to complete the transaction. These are risks attached to the counterparty.
