Buying property in Thailand is an exciting step, whether it’s a condo by the beach, land for investment or a new family home. But Thai property law has its own rules, and the process can quickly become confusing if you’re not familiar with it, and that’s where we come in.
At Unity Inter Law, our team of experienced real estate lawyers helps you navigate property transactions with confidence. We make sure every detail is handled correctly, every contract is reviewed and your investment is protected. Our goal is simple, and that is giving you peace of mind and keeping your property journey stress free.
Why You Need a Real Estate Lawyer in Thailand
Thailand has strict laws around property ownership. For example, foreigners are not allowed to directly own land but can legally own condominiums or invest through structured arrangements such as leasehold agreements, company ownership or usufruct rights. Without proper legal guidance, it’s easy to fall into traps such as unclear ownership titles, hidden debts or contracts written to favour the seller. Simply put, a lawyer doesn’t just save you stress, they can save you money and protect your future investment.
- Every agreement is fair and legally sound
- You understand your rights and obligations before you sign
- Risks like fraudulent sales, double ownership, or zoning restrictions are avoided
- The entire process, from negotiations to transfer of ownership, is transparent and secure
Our Property Legal Services
We offer a wide range of property law services designed to protect buyers, sellers and investors in Pattaya and across Thailand.
Escrow Accounts
Property transactions involve large sums of money, and it’s natural to want reassurance that your payment is safe. With our escrow account service, your funds are securely held by a neutral third party until all the agreed conditions of the sale are met. This protects both the buyer and seller from unnecessary risks.
Due Diligence
Buying property without proper checks is risky, and our due diligence service goes beyond just reading documents. We physically inspect the land or building, verify permits, check local court records and confirm the seller has full legal rights to sell.
- Title deed verification
- Scans of ownership documents
- Confirmation of land zoning and usage rights
- Encumbrances or debts registered against the property
- Legal access to public roads
Leasing or Purchasing Property
Whether you’re a foreign investor looking for rental opportunities, or a family planning to buy your dream home, we guide you through the process step by step. From negotiating the contract to ensuring compliance with Thai property law, we make sure your investment is secure and your rights are protected.
Title Search
A title search is one of the most important steps in any property deal. We check ownership records, confirm the seller’s legal right to transfer the property, and ensure there are no hidden mortgages, loans, or disputes tied to the land. This prevents costly mistakes later.
Contract Review
Many standard property contracts in Thailand are drafted to favour developers or sellers. Our lawyers carefully review every clause, explain the terms in plain English and negotiate changes where necessary. By doing this, we make sure the agreement protects you and not just the other party.
Transfer of Title
The transfer of ownership is carried out at the Land Office. This process involves paying fees and taxes, completing paperwork, and registering the new ownership. We explain each step clearly and can represent you under power of attorney if you’re unable to attend in person. This way, your property is legally transferred without delays or complications.
