Inside the 360° Due Diligence Method

Posted By Steve Janes  

Buying with Confidence from Overseas

When buying a property remotely, every detail matters. Without the ability to stand in the home or walk the street, expats must rely on a framework that captures every angle of the buying process. That is what the 360° Due Diligence Method delivers.

A Complete Picture Before You Buy
The 360° approach brings structure to remote buying. It merges data, professional review, and visual inspection into a single method that ensures nothing is left to chance.

Phase 1: Pre-Inspection Research
We start with what most buyers overlook: a digital deep dive. Photos, floor plans, and satellite views are studied alongside Vendor Statements and planning overlays. This identifies issues such as adjoining developments, restrictive covenants, or poor orientation.

Phase 2: Professional Due Diligence
Once a property passes the initial review, we move to professional checks. This includes legal document reviews and building inspections. We verify not just the structure but also the details agents rarely disclose, like appliance age, roof integrity, and potential settlement risks.

Phase 3: Pre-Offer Investigation and Decision
At this point, every piece of information is compiled into a single decision document. This lets you confirm that the property fits your Step 1 goals, your Step 2 shortlist, and your financial comfort zone.

The 360° process ensures you never move forward on assumptions. Every property is tested against data, legality, and live inspection insight before an offer is even considered.

Why Expats Trust This Process
For overseas buyers, time and distance can magnify risk. The 360° Rule creates a structured safety net. It transforms uncertainty into clarity, replacing rushed decisions with informed confidence.
