Session 2: Mastering the Hidden Challenges of Property Due Diligence

Due diligence in property transactions is often seen as routine, but beneath the surface, it can reveal a host of unexpected complexities. Overlooking these hidden challenges can lead to significant legal and financial consequences. This session is designed to equip practitioners with the knowledge to navigate the intricate and sometimes obscure aspects of due diligence, with a focus on aboriginal heritage issues and water rights. It covers:

  • Aboriginal heritage:
    • Understanding the scope and significance of Aboriginal heritage interests
    • Techniques for identifying Aboriginal heritage interests on the land
    • Best practices for managing risks when heritage items are identified, including legal protections and mitigation strategies
  • Water rights:
    • Conducting thorough due diligence on water rights, an often-overlooked but critical aspect of land transactions
    • Addressing contracts and legal agreements that run parallel with water rights, ensuring all interests are properly secured
