Buyer due-diligence pack for a property sale

The buyer pack should be organised by title, planning, tax, community, leases, technical matters and works. Every document needs a date, source and explanation of what it covers.

Short answer

The buyer pack should be organised by title, planning, tax, community, leases, technical matters and works. Every document needs a date, source and explanation of what it covers.

Why it matters when investing in Barcelona

Sale preparation begins at acquisition: the future buyer will need clear title, permits, evidenced works and transparent economics. Fixing gaps immediately before completion is usually slower and more expensive. In Barcelona, the same price per square metre can conceal very different planning status, common-element condition, leases and approvals. Every metric therefore needs an address, date, source and list of exclusions.

How to make the decision

  1. First define the question the calculation must answer. For “Buyer due-diligence pack for a property sale”, fix the unit of measure, data date and decision that will follow from the result.

  4. Finally document the decision: assumptions, open questions, owner and deadline. New evidence will then update the model instead of disappearing in messages.
