Real estate due diligence in Brazil

Understand what the documents support—and what still requires clarification.

Before acquiring, financing or developing a Brazilian property, an international decision-maker needs a reliable view of title, restrictions, parties, documentation and project dependencies. Due diligence organizes that investigation around the intended transaction rather than treating certificates as isolated items.

How Prime supports the matter

1. Define the purpose, scope and document set required for the proposed transaction.
2. Review ownership and land registry history, recorded restrictions and relevant party documentation.
3. Identify discrepancies, missing evidence and matters that require technical or specialist review.
4. Present findings and open items in a format that supports negotiation, conditions and next decisions.

The scope, professional fees and sequence are agreed after an initial assessment. Timing and outcomes depend on the documents, public authorities, registries, counterparties and specialists involved.

What to bring to the first conversation

• Property identification and location.
• The proposed acquisition, investment or development structure.
• Available registry certificates, contracts, proposals and corporate documents.
• Decision timeline and any conditions already under negotiation.
