The Importance of Property Due Diligence
Before any deposit is paid, we conduct structured due diligence to identify legal risks. This includes:
Verification of legal ownership
Confirmation of zoning and land-use restrictions
Review of building permits and construction compliance
Litigation and encumbrance search
Early legal review reduces the risk of defective title, hidden liabilities, and unenforceable contracts.
Foreign Ownership And Legal Structures
Under Thai law, foreign nationals are generally restricted from owning land freehold. However, lawful structures are available, including condominium ownership within the foreign quota and long-term lease agreements.
Our real estate lawyer provides legal advice on structuring property acquisitions to ensure compliance with Thai regulations while protecting your long-term investment interests.

Common Questions About Buying Property in Thailand
While foreigners generally cannot own land freehold, they can own the building (house) itself and secure the land through a long-term 30-year leasehold (renewable) or a Usufruct agreement. Alternatively, some investors use a Thai Limited Company for business-related land use. Our real estate lawyers help you choose the safest legal structure.
Standard costs include a 2% Transfer Fee, 0.5% Stamp Duty (or 3.3% Specific Business Tax if owned for less than 5 years), and Withholding Tax. These fees are usually shared between buyer and seller as per the sales contract; we ensure these terms are clearly drafted to protect your finances.
