Choose an independent lawyer whose duty remains with you, the buyer. Ask upfront who they represent and obtain a written engagement confirming their role. Look for experience with property transfers, lease structures, company arrangements, construction contracts and defect management in Thailand. The engagement should cover scope of work, fees, timelines, and how they handle potential conflicts of interest. Require clear communication on title checks, due diligence, reviews of contracts and any tax implications. Ideally, bring in a qualified accountant as well for any financial questions. Do not rely on a developer’s or their lawyer as your sole source of advice, and ensure you have access to independent specialists before signing documents or paying deposits.
