Property Due Diligence in Chiang Mai
Independent title, contract and ownership review for foreign residents, international couples and overseas buyers purchasing property in Chiang Mai.
Confirm the title, building and proposed legal rights
A Chiang Mai purchase may involve a foreign-owned condominium, land acquired by a Thai spouse, a house whose building records require review or a long-term lease and registered rights. Walailak Law Firm examines the proposed transaction independently and explains what the documents establish before the client signs or transfers substantial funds.

How Walailak Law Firm can assist
The precise scope is confirmed after conflicts, documents, objectives and urgency are reviewed.
Typical work
- Verify title, registered owner and encumbrances
- Review seller identity, authority and company records where relevant
- Examine sale, reservation and lease documentation
- Review available permits, access and development information
- Assess financing, remittance and registration documents
- Plan the closing sequence and Land Office requirements
The address and house registration are not a title review
Property identification can involve several Thai records relating to the parcel, building, registered occupants and contractual rights. The review should reconcile those records and the physical property rather than relying on an address, translation or copy supplied by the seller alone.
