Public Property Q&A

What Should Be Checked at the Land Office?

Due Diligence & Contracts · 2025-10-29

An independent lawyer should verify the original title, registered owner, mortgages, leases, usufructs, superficies, servitudes and other encumbrances. They should confirm whether the proposed transfer or lease can be registered and calculate the official fees and taxes. On completion, the documents and payment sequence should match the agreed contract. Do not rely only on an undated photocopy. 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.
