Here's the plan:
In spring or summer I would like to go to Thailand for a good 14 days, look at several condos there, decide on one and then buy it. I was in Pattaya almost half a year ago, so I have a certain insight into the condos advertised. A medium five-digit amount is available, I could also borrow something.
In any case, I would like to consult a lawyer (check the contract, check the land register). If it is not possible to complete the contract this in the time frame, let him do so on my behalf.
I would then like to rent out the apartment for 2/3 years and then move to Thailand myself.
The following questions:
I What do you think about it at all?? What should I pay attention to?
II Are there agencies that take over the letting AND the maintenance of the rented apartment?
III Is it possible for a lawyer to fully represent myself (to Thai authorities / to seller) in a land purchase?
IV What else must/should the lawyer do for me?
V What legal fees for the lawyer should I expect?
VI How long do purchase negotiations usually take?
