Real Estate Legal Due Diligence for secure decisions

We thoroughly analyze the legal status of the property and the documents supporting the transaction to identify risks and set the conditions needed to move forward securely.

We look beyond the title

The legal security of an acquisition also depends on who is involved, how it is structured and under what conditions it can be formalized.

Chain of title and ownership

We review the property’s legal history and the standing of everyone involved in the transaction.

Liens and encumbrances

We identify encumbrances, restrictions or conditions that may affect the disposition of the property.

AML/CFT (SARLAFT) and watchlists

We run the applicable checks on money laundering, terrorist financing and other compliance factors.

Asset forfeiture

We review records and relevant signals to identify exposure to asset forfeiture proceedings.

Acquisition structure

We analyze the legal specifics of transactions funded with own resources, mortgage loans or leasing.

Collateral for financing

When a financial institution is involved, we advise on creating the collateral required for the transaction.

From analysis to a clear legal roadmap

Each review starts from the specifics of the transaction and combines legal rigor with agile execution to define, in a timely way, the conditions needed to move forward.

We analyze with rigor and agility

We integrate the different validations under a methodology that lets us identify early the factors affecting the deal’s legal viability.

Talk About My Transaction

Before moving forward, a few answers

Why carry out a legal review before formalizing a transaction?

A real estate transaction requires more than checking who is listed as the owner. It is necessary to determine the property’s legal viability, review conditions that could affect the deal and, when financing is involved, meet the lender’s requirements. A prior analysis identifies these factors before moving toward formalization.

What does the service include?

We carry out title reviews for transactions funded with mortgage loans, own resources or leasing, as well as reviews for investors, legal opinions on properties and document validation. When financing is required, the service can also include legal structuring for the mortgage loan, with drafting and review of deed drafts, document adjustments and compliance with the legal conditions prior to the deed.

Who is it for?

Financial institutions, developers, companies, investors and individuals who need to legally assess a property or structure an acquisition.
We also support Colombians living abroad and foreign investors interested in carrying out real estate transactions in Colombia.

What happens when the acquisition requires a mortgage loan?

In addition to the property’s legal review, we support the structuring required for financing: we review or draft the deed drafts, adjust documents to the lender’s requirements and coordinate the legal conditions needed to leave the transaction ready for formalization.
