Due diligence procedures performed by CEA
In Singapore, the Council of Estate Agencies (CEA) regulates due diligence procedures, as verifications are done through its agents, who are required to check if the properties can be sold.
CEA can apply its due diligence procedures on the following situations:
• due diligence on a developer, in which the agents verify the financial situation of the real estate development site; they also have to check if the owner respects all his contractual rights and obligations;
• due diligence on foreign estate agent – the agent verifies the projects the company has been involved in, to ensure there are no financial litigations on former development sites;
• due diligence on a property – the agents verify the property, its location and amenities;
• due diligence on claims – performed on properties.
