MANINI Approved · Preliminary assessment
MANINI Approved: property due diligence in Tuscany
Before deciding on a property, you need information about the building, documents, setting and financial commitment. MANINI Approved records a positive outcome of the preliminary assessment across the 10 areas, within the agreed scope and based on available documents.
MANINI Approved is not an independent certification, a purchase guarantee or an absolute statement of compliance. It does not replace a formal survey or the technical, legal and notarial checks required for the purchase.
The 10 areas of assessment
- Price and value
- Planning and cadastral records
- Ownership and maintenance costs
- Technical condition
- Setting and location
- Potential for improvement
- Potential rental income
- Resale prospects
- Fit with the client’s requirements
- Negotiation and timing
Documents and information to gather
Document availability determines which matters can be assessed. Depending on the property and agreed scope, the file may include plans and cadastral information, planning permissions and building records, access and easement documents, information on building services, photographs and existing technical reports.
The asking price, intended use, potential works and management costs help assess the fit with the search. If a document is missing or information remains unverified, the matter requires further investigation; it is not a positive finding.
What the client receives
The service includes a report of the agreed checks and their outcome. Documented facts need to be distinguished from assumptions requiring confirmation and matters requiring formal investigation.
The client can compare the property with their requirements, consider further investigations or stop the assessment. The outcome relates to the information available and the scope examined.
When a property does not pass the assessment
Issues may include discrepancies requiring investigation, technical condition inconsistent with the financial plan, uncertain access, restrictions affecting the intended use or a price unsupported by the information gathered.
Selection may stop or require additional documents and investigations. A technical or legal issue is not resolved by the preliminary assessment itself.
Specialist investigations
Planning and cadastral compliance, structure, services, title, easements and restrictions may require inspections, document access and assessment by appointed professionals. Roles, appointments and activities need to be defined separately.
MANINI’s support and preliminary report do not replace the formal work and checks of technical professionals, legal advisers or the notary. The checks needed before making purchase commitments must be completed within the agreed process.
