{"ai_json_enabled":true,"answer":"Confirm the full payment schedule, deposits, refund conditions, transfer fees, taxes, legal costs, management charges and any recurring obligations before funds move. The contract should state who pays each item, when it becomes due and what happens if conditions are not satisfied. Relevant category details include: Practical checks for title, boundaries, permits, contracts, deposits, access rights and professional review before a property commitment. Start by separating what the seller or developer says from what the title documents, contract, land-office records and independent advisers can verify. Ownership structure, building rights, taxes, transfer steps and ongoing control are related but not interchangeable questions. Red flags include pressure to pay quickly, unclear title, inconsistent area figures, missing permits, vague access rights, verbal-only promises, unrealistic rental claims, unexplained fees and reluctance to provide documents. Answers that change between salespeople are another warning. A good transaction should withstand careful questions and buyer-side review. Apply the checks to the actual property, intended use and written responsibilities rather than relying on the category label alone. Before signing or transferring funds, use an independent Thai lawyer and, where relevant, a qualified tax or accounting adviser. Ask for the important answers and documents in writing, and confirm that the advice applies to the exact buyer, property and transaction.","answer_source":"deterministic_grounded_fallback","category":"Due Diligence & Contracts","category_slug":"due-diligence","confidence":"grounded_in_approved_property_guide_context","created_at":"2026-08-01T19:15:49+00:00","daily_publish_cap":3,"date_published":"2026-08-02","display_date":"2026-08-02","drip_batch":"2026-08-02","drip_status":"daily_auto_published","freshness_warning":"Property prices, availability, construction progress, rental rules and legal requirements can change.
