JeffersLos Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 (edited) I have a unit for sale and a Chinese family have viewed it and are interested, no agent is involved (I don't mind hiring an agent to handle the documents needed on both sides, and to be there at the land office, if it makes things easier) To sell it I believe I need documents from the condo juristic office showing that: 1) there are no outstanding debts etc on the unit. 2) It falls under the 49% foreign ownership quota. Are there official names/titles for the documents? For example Kor Ror 2 (which is a document to show you're still married), is there such an official title for these 2 documents? Is there anything else that I need to present to the land office? Chanote. Passport. These 2 documents. Blue and yellow Tabien Baans. Anything else?

scubascuba3 Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 (edited) For 1) and 2) your office would have done this loads of times and know what they need to prepare. You'll need a purchase agreement, look online for a draft copy or maybe someone can provide, include a deposit if you prefer. Land office can help with process there, see them in advance to agree. I'd rather pay the land office extra than an agent Edited October 10, 2022 by scubascuba3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I don't know if it works that way. Another option might be to ask the condominium manager to join you - and you pay him/her a fixed fee but no commission. That manager likely knows all the details. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know if there is a timeframe in which these need to be used? For example, they cannot be older than 7/14/21/28 days at the date of transfer?

plus7 Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Hi, I think you don't need anything except the verbal agreement who will pay for the transfer (usually 50/50). The buyer should ask you if they need something from you extra. For 1-2k baht someone from condo office will be glad to help you in the land office.

The buyer should care. The land office cares. Transfer not possible without the juristic office providing said documents (unit is debt free, the complex is 49% or less foreign owned). No documents. No transfer. You can stop lying about having bought units now 5555 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall people having to transfer money out of thailand and then back to get the FET. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
