Due Diligence Checklist for Corporate Property Ownership Investigations

Use a repeatable process

1. Validate the entity at Companies House.
2. Screen the entity or address against CCOD data.
3. Review any matching titles and proprietor signals.
4. Order formal title material where the matter is transaction-critical.
5. Record what was screened, what matched, and what still needs escalation.

A checklist makes the search output defensible and easier to hand over across teams.
