Buy / Due Diligence & Legals

Know what you're really buying

Before you commit, Fourma builds a complete picture of the property — its ownership, title, legal status, planning, physical condition, restrictions, liabilities and risks.

We turn fragmented documents, records and expert findings into one clear view of what you are buying and what could affect the deal.

Fourma AI Risk Scan for a Swiss chalet: 6 of 16 due diligence checks cleared across title, planning, property and financial categories

Every property has layers

Fourma coordinates the checks needed to understand them:

Title & ownership Seller authority, title history, liens, encumbrances, easements and boundaries.

Planning & use Zoning, planning permissions, building approvals, conservation and heritage restrictions.

Property & environment Structure, building systems, defects, hazardous materials, environmental and natural risks.

Financial & contractual Leases, HOA or condominium obligations, taxes, service charges and other liabilities.

AI helps find where to look

We use AI to review documents, information and applicable rules, identify potential zones of risk and highlight what requires deeper investigation. AI helps us surface inconsistencies, missing information and unusual provisions early.

Then we bring in the right local lawyers, planners, surveyors, engineers, tax advisors and other specialists to verify what matters.

Find problems before they become expensive

Due diligence is not about producing a longer checklist. It is about identifying issues that could change the price, use, financing, construction potential, timing or future value of the property — and understanding what it would take to resolve them.

Proceed. Renegotiate. Resolve. Or walk away.

Proceed No material issues found — move forward with confidence.

Renegotiate Use findings to adjust price, terms or timing.

Resolve Fix or clear an issue before moving ahead.

Walk away Some risks simply aren't worth taking on.

From due diligence to a better decision

Fourma carries the findings into negotiation, financing and closing, and, where relevant, into renovation, construction and ownership.

The Project keeps the documents, findings, decisions, risks and expert input connected, so nothing important gets lost between stages.
