DLD, RERA and Property Verification
Official verification supports due diligence on brokers, developers, projects, property records and rules. Salespeople can provide useful information, but important claims should be confirmed independently where possible.
This lesson is designed to turn a broad property claim into a decision that can be checked. Start with the property, price and investor objective. Separate facts that can be verified today from forecasts that remain uncertain. Then record the evidence, assumptions and downside case so another person could understand how you reached the decision.
Worked example
A salesperson may provide useful information, but official records should confirm important claims.
Change one assumption at a time and recalculate. This shows which variable has the greatest effect and prevents a headline number from hiding the real risk.
Practical verification checklist
- Write down the source and date for every price, rent, fee and rule used.
- Compare like with like and explain important differences.
- Calculate a realistic base case and a weaker downside case.
- Confirm ownership, project, broker and payment details through appropriate official channels.
- Keep unanswered questions visible before deciding.
Apply the lesson
Create a checklist of claims you would independently verify before buying.
Finish with one of four clear outcomes: buy, negotiate, watch or reject. The goal is not to force a purchase; it is to make the reasoning transparent and repeatable.
