{"ai_json_enabled":true,"answer":"The developer\u2019s lawyer may explain the developer\u2019s 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.","category":"Due Diligence","category_slug":"due-diligence","confidence":"generated_from_public_sources","created_at":"2026-07-11T04:44:07+00:00","daily_publish_cap":2,"date_published":"2026-07-11","display_date":"2026-07-11","drip_status":"published_seed","freshness_warning":"Property prices, availability, construction progress, rental rules and legal requirements can change.
