✅ Due Diligence System
Don't sign anything until you've checked every box
Most property buying mistakes are due diligence failures — things that could have been found but weren't checked. Dajumo's Due Diligence Checklist gives you 60+ items organised by category, priority and property type, so nothing falls through the cracks.
What's Covered
Six categories. Zero gaps.
Due diligence failures happen in every category. Our checklist covers all of them — structured so you can work through each phase systematically.
Legal & Title Checks
Title search, easements, caveats, encumbrances, zoning, heritage overlay, encroachments and covenant review.
Structural & Physical
Building and pest inspection review, asbestos, damp, roof condition, drainage, electrical and plumbing compliance.
Financial Analysis
Rental history, current tenancy review, outgoings verification, depreciation schedule assessment and cash flow modelling.
Strata (Apartments)
Strata report review, sinking fund balance, outstanding levies, AGM minutes, litigation and major works planned.
Location & Market
Flood zone, bushfire overlay, noise attenuation, planned infrastructure, nearby development applications.
Contract & Settlement
Section 32 / vendor statement review, special conditions, sunset clauses, deposit terms and settlement timeline.
FAQ
Due diligence questions
How long does property due diligence take?
A thorough due diligence process for an investment property typically takes 14–21 days. This is why your offer conditions should include a finance clause (typically 14 days) and a building inspection clause (5–7 days). Never sign unconditionally without completing due diligence first.
Is a building inspection always necessary?
Yes, for freestanding houses. For apartments, a strata report is the equivalent — it reveals the financial health of the owners corporation, upcoming levies and any structural issues affecting the building. Skipping these is one of the most common and costly mistakes property buyers make.
What is a Section 32 / Vendor Statement?
In Victoria, the Section 32 is a legal document the vendor must provide before you sign a contract of sale. It contains title information, planning details, outgoings and any known material facts. Other states have equivalent vendor disclosure documents. Dajumo's checklist includes a Section 32 review guide tailored to each state.
Can I customise the checklist for my property type?
Yes. On signup, you select your property type (house, apartment, townhouse, commercial) and state, and the checklist automatically adjusts — showing apartment-specific strata items for units, or rural-specific checks (water rights, septic, easements) for regional properties.
