Look for a lawyer who represents the buyer, not the developer, and demand a written engagement before work starts. The right lawyer should cover buyer-focused areas such as lease terms, company structures, construction contracts, defects, management obligations and taxes. Independence is crucial to avoid conflicts of interest, especially in matters like renewals and title issues. Confirm they have Thai-property expertise and the ability to coordinate with other professionals if needed. Relying on an independent buyer-side attorney helps ensure checks are thorough and not guided by sales pressure. Use their services alongside a surveyor or accountant as appropriate, rather than relying solely on the developer’s representatives.
