jay-uk Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Hi All I am trying to find out a little information for my sister-in-law and her husband. They have purchased a small piece of land and in a rush started to build a house before having the land office verify measurements. When the land office came out last week the SIL has been informed that the land purchased is under size. They purchased what they believed was 1.25 rai and the land measurements came out at 1 rai. I myself always understood that Chanut title was the most accurate and least problematic of deeds that could be owned in Thailand so wondered where along the way a mistake has been made either by the SIL rushing to build before checking this all out or whether somewhere down the line the land office have made mistakes previously on file as to the size of the plot. Anyhow has anyone had a similar situation arise and what are the options to sort this out if any. 1. Should she accept this and move on putting it down to lack of experience. 2. Complain to the land office for what ever good that meay be. 3. Sue the owner and/or seek compensation for the loss of land sold. etc.. Thanks.

harrry Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 It would help to know just what type of chanote you bought., The colour of the guruda is a start but not definite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delight Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Why not measure it yourself or employ a independent professional to do it for you.(better the latter I think) This must be the starting point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knowing the type would be better, the colour is only a partial clue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taninthai Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 What Borders the land surely if possible the land office should just measure out to the chanote and correct the position of the land markers ,that is if the neighbours haven't encroached and built a border on what is supposedly your Land Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PattayaPhom Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Did the sis in law actually look at the Chanote to se if it said 1.25 rai or did she just take the word of the seller? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
