Step 3: Verifying Seller’s Legal Ownership and Documents

Before proceeding with any purchase, SiamConsult can conduct due diligence to ensure the property, vehicle, or item is free of legal issues:

• We can verify property titles, ensuring the seller is the legal owner and that there are no disputes.
• We can verify the seller’s legal right to sell the asset by looking up the registration of cars and boats.
• We can verify warranties for electronics and appliances to ensure that you can claim them if needed.

Step 4: Preparing the Purchase Agreement

Once we verify that everything is in order, we proceed.
If necessary, SiamConsult can assist in preparing a Sales and Purchase Agreement (SPA), which outlines all the terms of the sale.

• The sale price of the property or goods.
• We will establish a payment schedule that specifies the dates for both the deposit and the final payment.
• We will outline the conditions for the delivery and transfer of ownership of estates, vehicles, and household items.

We will ensure that all agreements comply with Thai law and protect your interests during the transaction.
For legal agreements, we can help you draft and review contracts to ensure proper understanding and preparation.

Step 5: Completing the Payment and Transfer

SiamConsult can assist with the payment procedure and guarantee a seamless transaction after the agreement is signed.
This includes:

• Please ensure that full payments are made and a valid receipt is obtained.
  (Most transactions in Thailand require full upfront payment for foreigners.)
• Help with the Land Department’s property transfer procedure.
  When purchasing or renting a property, ensure that the deed is transferred into your name. Make sure your name appears on the deed.
• Make sure your name appears on the deed.
• Ensure that the deed aligns with your plans.
• We can guide you through the Land Ownership or lease process and ensure that it is compliant with Thai law.
• Ensure that the vehicle or motorbike is correctly transferred to your name at the Department of Land Transport.
• Please prepare the necessary documents for the vehicle and ensure that electronics and household items are registered correctly to validate warranties and insurance.

After payment, SiamConsult will guide you through the final steps:

• We will register the property in your name with the relevant authorities.
• We will verify the validity and correct registration of all warranties for new items, including cars, electronics, and appliances.
• We will provide you with official documents, including title deeds, vehicle registration, and purchase receipts, for your records.
