Lewis's Land Banking Due Diligence Guide

Before buying into a newly acquired land precinct under Sime Darby Property, inspect the master plan for infrastructure completion timelines. Verify whether primary access highways, public school sites, and commercial hubs are already under construction or merely tagged as future phases. Request a side-by-side comparison of Sime Darby Property's pricing against adjacent submarket transactions. To say this plainly: Sime Darby Property's unbilled-sales coverage of 0.93x is in the 0.80x-1.20x moderate band, short of the 1.20x safe bar. That does not mean the project won't complete — it means buyers should weight unbilled sales, contractor payment history, and Schedule G/H dates more heavily than the marketing headline before booking.
