Property Due Diligence in Phuket
Independent legal review for foreign buyers and investors before reserving, contracting for or completing a Phuket property purchase.
Verify the property and ownership structure before committing funds
Phuket transactions may involve a condominium under the foreign ownership quota, a villa on leased land, a Thai spouse purchasing land, a resale within a managed development or a proposed company structure. Walailak Law Firm reviews the actual documents and intended rights independently from the seller, agent and developer before advising on the transaction.

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 material encumbrances

Marketing descriptions do not define the legal asset
A “villa purchase” may legally involve several different rights and documents relating to the land, building, lease, common areas and management arrangements. Due diligence should identify exactly what will be owned or registered, for how long, and under which enforceable documents.
