Public Property Q&A

Should the Developer’s Lawyer Act for the Buyer?

Due Diligence & Contracts · 2025-10-15

The developer’s lawyer may explain the developer’s structure, but a buyer should have independent advice from a lawyer whose duty is to the buyer. Independence is especially important for lease terms, renewals, company structures, construction contracts, defects, management obligations and tax. Ask who the lawyer represents and obtain a written engagement. This is general educational information, not legal, tax or financial advice. Property structures, taxes, licences and registration practice can change or depend on the facts. Use an independent Thai lawyer and, where relevant, a qualified accountant before committing money or signing documents. Do not let a sales deadline replace documentary checks or buyer-side professional advice.

Useful next steps

Use this answer as a practical starting point. Current prices and availability should be confirmed with the relevant seller, developer or manager, while ownership, contracts, tax and inspection matters should be checked with qualified buyer-side professionals.
