When purchasing property in Thailand, particularly as a foreigner, due diligence is crucial to ensure that the investment is legally sound and free of any hidden issues. Here are the typical steps involved in performing due diligence on a property in Thailand:
1. Verification of Seller's Ownership

• Land Title Deed Check: Verify that the seller has the correct type of title deed (e.g., Chanote, Nor Sor 3 Gor) that allows for ownership transfer.
• Owner Verification: Ensure that the seller is the rightful owner of the property by checking their name on the title deed and comparing it with their ID or passport.

2. Title Search

• Land Department Records: Conduct a title search at the local Land Department to confirm the history of the property. This will show any past transactions, existing mortgages, or liens on the property.
• Encumbrances: Ensure there are no encumbrances, such as legal disputes, mortgages, or other claims against the property.

3. Land Use and Zoning Regulations

• Zoning Laws: Check local zoning laws to confirm the land can be used for the intended purpose, whether residential, commercial, or otherwise.
• Building Permits: If the property includes buildings, ensure that the necessary permits were obtained and that the construction complies with regulations.

4. Environmental and Structural Assessments

• Environmental Impact: Check for any environmental restrictions or potential hazards (e.g., flooding, erosion) that could affect the property.
• Structural Integrity: If purchasing a building, hire a professional to inspect the structural integrity and assess for any necessary repairs.

5. Utility Connections

• Utilities Check: Ensure that the property has access to essential utilities such as water, electricity, and sewage, and verify that the connections are legal.
• Utility Bills: Request recent utility bills to ensure they are up to date and check if there are any outstanding payments.

6. Leasehold Issues (for Foreign Buyers)

• Lease Agreement Review: If purchasing leasehold property, review the lease agreement to ensure it meets legal standards, including duration (up to 30 years, renewable) and registration with the Land Department.
• Foreign Ownership Rules: Verify compliance with foreign ownership rules, as foreigners cannot own land directly but can own buildings or lease the land.

7. Financial Due Diligence

• Price Comparison: Conduct a market comparison to ensure that the property is priced fairly.
• Outstanding Debts: Check for any outstanding debts or obligations attached to the property.

8. Legal Review

• Legal Documents: Have a qualified Thai lawyer review all legal documents, including the sale and purchase agreement, to ensure compliance with Thai law.
• Translation: If necessary, have documents translated to ensure understanding and accuracy.

9. Final Verification

• Confirm Registration: Ensure that the transfer of ownership or lease is properly registered at the Land Department.
• Tax Clearance: Obtain tax clearance to ensure that all relevant taxes (transfer fee, withholding tax, specific business tax) have been paid.

10. Payment and Transfer

• Escrow Service: Consider using an escrow service to hold funds until the transfer is complete.
• Payment Confirmation: Ensure that payment is made through legal channels and that all receipts are documented.

11. Possession and Handover

• Final Inspection: Conduct a final inspection of the property before the handover to ensure that it is in the agreed-upon condition.
• Key and Document Handover: Collect all keys, documents, and any other relevant materials.

12. Post-Purchase Obligations

• Register Ownership: Ensure your name (or your company's name) is registered on the title deed.
• Annual Taxes: Be aware of any annual property taxes or fees and ensure they are paid on time.
