What role does the lister play in my investment?
The lister plays a crucial role in your investment by managing the sourcing and acquisition of properties, executing co-ownership agreements, and dividing the asset into profit-share contracts. It ensures that each property meets our stringent selection criteria and that homeowners meet eligibility requirements, helping to minimize risks for investors.
How can I be sure that the lister’s properties are legitimate and secure?
To ensure that the lister’s properties are legitimate and secure, we conduct a thorough due diligence process at Urby. This process includes:
- Reviewing all relevant documentation about the property and the lister.
- Examining financial statements, business plans, and legal agreements.
This comprehensive vetting process ensures that the profit-share contracts listed on our platform are well-vetted and compliant with the underlying property assets, providing you with a secure and trustworthy investment opportunity.
How does Urby perform due diligence on the listers?
Urby has a comprehensive vetting process to assess the credibility and financial health of each lister. This process includes:
- Legal and Financial Due Diligence: Urby carefully reviews the lister's financial statements, business plans, and track record to confirm their financial capacity to manage and list properties.
- Background Checks: A thorough background check is conducted on the lister, including its key stakeholders and partners, to identify any legal disputes, pending litigation, or other potential red flags.
- Compliance with Local Regulations: Urby ensures that each lister complies with all relevant legal and regulatory requirements. All necessary licenses, permits, and legal documentation must be in place before a lister can list properties on our platform.
- Ongoing Monitoring: After onboarding, Urby continuously monitors each lister’s financial health and performance to maintain ongoing compliance and security for investors.
What happens if a lister or the homeowner goes bankrupt?
Homeowner Bankruptcy: If the homeowner goes bankrupt, UrbanWave’s ownership rights in the property are safeguarded through a robust ownership structure. This typically includes legal protections such as the right to purchase the homeowner's shares and formal recognition as co-owners on the property’s land title, which prioritize investors’ rights and funds in the event of liquidation or other legal proceedings.
UrbanWave Bankruptcy: In the unlikely event that UrbanWave goes bankrupt, Urby has measures in place to protect your investments. Investments tied to profit-share contracts are ring-fenced and kept separate from UrbanWave’s operational assets. This structure ensures that investors’ stakes in the properties are secure. In such a scenario, the Trustee (Universal Trustee Malaysia Berhad) would step in to manage the assets, protecting investor interests and working to ensure a smooth resolution.
