Best way to transfer $ and condo title

[chingmai331]

I'm buying a small condo in CM, already have the foreign cash in the bank.  The condo in a old established building with many farangs, but JP says all OK to buy from the current owner, a Thai.  Have put down a small amount. During next few days will complete sale, which includes the money transfer and the title transfer, more than that i do not know.

If must go to bank and transfer the money, then travel to another part of town to sign off on the title, should i be concerned that anything may happen during those hours?  Like run-aways, death of title holder, etc.

At this time no lawyer involved, and of course i'm not looking to spend where not needed but can imagine unspoken issues which i would like to clear up.

Any helpful info, appreciated.

Always either use cash or bank cashier cheque.

Are you absolutely sure you can move into the "foreign allocation" as it currently has a Thai owner.

 

I did not think that was possible.
