Initial due diligence: title and encumbrance search
Before committing funds, we verify the title at the Land Department, confirm the seller is the registered owner, identify mortgages, rights of restriction, and check for outstanding disputes or claims. This factual check informs whether negotiation should proceed or be adjusted.
For foreign buyers we also verify condominium quota availability under Thai law and identify any leasehold versus freehold considerations that affect long-term ownership options.
Contract review and negotiation
We review reservation and sale-and-purchase agreements to ensure the terms protect your deposit and specify clear conditions for payment, handover, defects, and default.
- Payment milestones and escrow options
- Clear handover and defect resolution clauses
- Liability and penalty terms that align with the transaction risk
Where needed, we propose practical amendments and communicate with the seller or developer to reflect market standards and your specific priorities.
Tax, fees and cost clarity
We calculate transfer fees, revenue tax implications for the seller, withholding tax where applicable, and advise on who typically pays which fee under local practice.
Understand the numbers before transfer
Providing a clear cost breakdown helps you budget effectively and avoid last-minute surprises at the Land Department.
Power of attorney and representation
If you cannot attend the Land Department in person, we prepare a limited power of attorney drafted to meet Land Department requirements and local notary standards.
We explain the scope of authority, duration and any necessary identity verification to ensure a smooth, lawful representation.
Practical delegation with clear limits
Representation reduces scheduling delays while preserving control over key decisions.
Land Department transfer support
We coordinate document preparation, appointment scheduling and presence during transfer at the Land Department to ensure forms are correctly completed and taxes and fees are paid in the proper sequence.
This hands-on assistance removes administrative uncertainty and reduces the chance of administrative rejection or rework.
Post-transfer follow up
After transfer we confirm registration records reflect the new ownership and supply a complete closing pack with copies of registered documents and receipts.
- Final Land Department extract
- Receipts for taxes and fees
- Advisory notes on property tax and next steps
This wrap-up ensures you have a clear record and next-step guidance for taxes, insurance and property management.
