I imagine its just your passport, but they could require other documents like a Res cert. These requirements change on a regular basis, so probably best to ask the DLT direct.

You can download templates from the internet, In English and Thai, add or removed clauses, both sign, then lodge at the land office.

check what's written in your lease, there is usually a paragraph covering rent, increases, penalties etc

Yes, of course you can arrange to rent back from the new owner etc., but the OP is talking about a chain of settlements where a property settlement, move in/out, is conditional on another property settlement, its something you see in UK property TV shows.

It doesn't work like the UK, you move out the day you sell, whether you have another property lined up or not. The buyer wont care less if you are waiting to purchase elsewhere. There are no chain settlements or moves.

So Obama knew "before" the election results, that Russia didn't effect the election results. That is some next level denial, denial of something that hasn't happened yet. MMMMMM Kool aid

Yes, one lawyer should be able to act for both parties with POA from both parties. Even if no money changes hands, the land office will still want taxes and fees, usually works out to be around 5% of what the land office says the property is worth, not what either party says its worth,

I think you will find the land office will see the transfer the same as a sale, and they will want all the usual taxes, transfer fees and duties. Otherwise everyone would be declaring a name change rather than a sale. Otherwise, a lawyer could do the transfer/sale with Power Of Attorney (POA) documents and authority.

Its only bridges that allow a stay so long as you own one. It just so happens, I have a bridge I can sell you.

The taxes are based on whatever figure is highest. The land office has an appraised value that you cant go below, and if you disclose a higher sales figure then that's what will be taxed. Its amazing, but all properties seem to change hands for the land office appraised figure.

Ex military guys usually have a level of discipline, composure etc.

The maintenance guys should only be working on common property, or as scuba says, common property that may be within a condo like pipes in ceiling. It may be that the condo office is using the maintenance staff to run their own little handy man business, and pocketing the funds. It can also be that the committee are part of the little enterprise. Otherwise, its something that the committee should be sorting out.

Thailand in general, is not a year on year capital gain market. its a buy to live in or rental investment market, there are even specific taxes to stop flipping properties for profit. Thailand has one of the highest home ownership rates in the world, around 70-80%, and new stock is always being built so there is never a supply problem to push prices up. Actual prices can often be the same as 10 years later. There are always stupid listed prices that are never achieved so foreigners see that as the market going up. Foreigners often think the Thai market is just like home with percentage gains every year, and they often pay way over what a property is worth, only to find out years later they paid to much and have no chance of selling.

Its leasehold or company set up, just not disclosed when they are trying to sell it.

Maybe contact a builder for up to date pricing. A little hard to give prices without knowing what materials, design etc. https://pattayahousebuilder.com/
