Due Diligence.<br />

Aside from an independent legal team, being thorough in your own<br />

research is your biggest ally when reducing any risk involved<br />

in investing overseas.<br />

Due Diligence might be a timely process, but could save you thousands by<br />

flagging up any potential issues at an early stage. Even when working with<br />

an agent who has already carried out research on a development<br />

opportunity, it is vital you know what <strong>to</strong> look for when starting your own<br />

Due Diligence process.<br />

Redbrick Wealth has worked with carefully selected developers for years –<br />

those with a proven track record, and previously successful developments<br />

(where returns have already been paid <strong>to</strong> inves<strong>to</strong>rs). We would like <strong>to</strong> use our<br />

expertise in this field <strong>to</strong> offer you a checklist of what <strong>to</strong> look out for when<br />

considering investing abroad:<br />

Check out the developer:<br />

• Look at the developer’s track record with previous projects.<br />

• Ask <strong>to</strong> visit previous completed projects where funds have been<br />

returned <strong>to</strong> inves<strong>to</strong>rs.<br />

• Make sure you meet the developer and ‘walk the ground’ of<br />

where the new development will be.<br />

• Use Companies House, Linkedin and Google <strong>to</strong> do your own<br />

research in<strong>to</strong> the background of the company direc<strong>to</strong>rs.
