For those of you who have bought or sold a condo before how long does it take to sort everything out at the land office? I have a 1pm appointment and need to catch a flight that evening, so trying to assess whether things generally run smoothly and it can all be sorted in an hour or so or takes much longer? I will have a lawyer with me but don't want to entrust them with the whole process and want to be present myself.

The time frame could vary depending on which land office, but usually an hour or so. At 1pm, you will be the first appointment after lunch.

 The couple of times I have bought a condo, there was an envelope changed hands to ensure speedy service, 500 baht each from buyer and seller.

Thanks.  it would be the one in Phra Khanong 

If you have an appointment, your agent or someone probably already contacted the land department. That's good news. It should be finished at 4pm. Otherwise, it can sometimes take the full day.
