Check the title deed
=> Mandatory
|
This is the “ID” of the property, the only official ownership document. There are always 2 identical copies:
o 1 is held by the land department (the public authority in charge of property ownerships),
o 1 is held by the owner
=> Investors need to review the title deed held by the seller (the land department won’t release it to avoid loss or dispute)
=> Notary service is not mandatory for property transactions in Thailand, it is therefore advised to hire a lawyer for the due diligence
The back-side of the deed details the changes of ownership and potential liabilities and mortgages on the property
