Hi all

I'm hopefully completing on the purchase of a condominium in the next couple of weeks. I have agreed the price paid a deposit and agreed to go 50/50 at the land office, I believe this is where the chanote is amended to my name and the appropriate fee's are paid.

I am buying from a falung in falung name and the condo is in his name, however the owner is abroad and his agent is will be acting on his behalf ( with power of attorney ) at the land office.

My question is can I act for myself as opposed to paying a lawyer between 5-12k baht that I've been quoted, Is it retentively straight forward at the land office.

Any advice appreciated

Thanks Riki

I guess people will come on who have done this type of transation.

To get a English speaking lawyer to help you or a Thai will be the best option.

You will own the condo but never own the land.

Do you know the reason for the owner wanting to sell.

How much lease is left etc etc.

Goodluck but be careful.
