Property Law & Due Diligence
Property due diligence in Phuket — know exactly what you’re buying before you’re legally committed.
Property due diligence in Phuket is the essential first step before any purchase. Buying property in Thailand is not like buying property at home — title deeds vary in legal strength, land can carry debts or restrictions that aren’t immediately visible, and ownership structures for foreigners have strict rules.
Due diligence isn’t optional. It’s the foundation of every safe transaction.
What we cover
Title deed verification
We check the type and status of the title deed (Chanote, Nor Sor 3, etc.) and confirm it is valid and unencumbered.
Ownership history review
We trace the ownership chain and identify any disputes or claims that could affect your purchase.
Land Office records search
We cross-check official records for mortgages, liens, and restrictions on the property.
Foreign ownership compliance
We verify that the transaction structure is legally sound for foreign buyers under Thai law.
Developer background checks
For off-plan purchases, we review the developer’s track record, permits, and financial standing.
