Independent legal-status dossiers on Vietnamese development projects — for foreign buyers

Approval chain, inspections, eligibility to sell, foreign ownership, land-use term; every fact linked to its source and quoted.

You pay only after the dossier is delivered. Missing a section listed on /pricing, or the wrong project? Tell me within 7 days of delivery — you owe nothing, or get a full refund if you paid in advance. Terms →

Open any fact in the sample, follow its link to the source table, and compare the quotation with the original document.

What's in a dossier

  • Approval stages, from investment policy to ownership certificates
  • Decisions and resolutions of the authorities, quoted
  • Inspections and findings of violations
  • Eligibility to sell off-plan
  • Foreign ownership
  • Land-use term
  • The developer: registry record and bond disclosures
  • What could not be verified, listed openly

Dossier or lawyer?

A dossier is desk research on the project from public sources, done before you pay for legal work. It shows what is on record, what is not, and which questions to ask. A Vietnamese lawyer checks your unit and your contract and advises on your case. Use the dossier first, then give its questions to your lawyer.

How it works

  1. 1

    You name the project

    Send us the project name, or a link to it.

  2. 2

    We collect the sources

    Government sources, registers and the press: the documents behind each stage.

  3. 3

    Every quote is checked against the stored copy

    Each quote is matched character by character against the stored copy of its source; "…" marks where a quotation is cut.

  4. 4

    You get the report

    A traffic-light status per question, with sources, and a list of what could not be checked.

Source grading

Every fact in a dossier carries the grade of the source it rests on, so you can see what each statement stands on.

Source grades

  • A — text of a legal act or government document from an official source
  • B — official portal or register page
  • C — press report, or a party's words in the press
  • D — developer's website
  • M — manual check by the compiler

Status colours

  • Green confirmed by a grade A or B source with nothing adverse.
  • Amber adverse or mixed facts that do not meet the Red test: historic findings for which a later approval is reported (they stay in Inspection findings), finance, or facts known only from the press.
  • Red a quoted official finding of non-compliance, or a blocking circumstance, concerning the project's land, approvals or permits, and no source reports it resolved.
  • Grey not found, or not accessible.

Grey means the record was not found in public sources. In the Golden Hills sample, foreign-buyer eligibility, eligibility to sell off-plan and the land-use term are Grey; the dossier turns them into questions for the seller and a lawyer.

Proof of method

Before dossiers, the same discipline (every record traced to its source file, accuracy measured) was applied to the Hanoi foreign-buyer registrations: 83 official files → 4,343 transactions across 35 projects; 96.8% field accuracy on a 50-record sample after fixes; 79.18% extraction completeness.
