What We Do

Three areas of focus.

Each service is designed around one idea: that you should understand exactly what you are agreeing to, and what each structure means for your rights over time.

Foreign Buyer Property Acquisition Counsel

A considered walkthrough for foreign buyers exploring condominium ownership, leasehold villa structures, or land usage rights through a Thai company. We review title documents at the Land Office, examine the foreign quota of any condominium project, draft or review sale and purchase agreements, and accompany you to the Land Office on transfer day.

Lease Agreement Preparation & Review

Thoughtful preparation or review of long-term residential and commercial lease agreements, including 30-year structures and renewal provisions. We discuss the practical limits of registered leases, the language that has tended to hold up before Thai courts, and the clauses that frequently benefit from clarification.

Title Deed & Encumbrance Search

A focused search at the relevant Land Office to confirm title type, registered owner, plot dimensions, and any registered encumbrances, mortgages, or court orders. We provide a short written summary in plain English with a copy of the chanote and our notes on anything that may benefit from further inquiry.

Why nagagrouus

What sets our approach apart.

Land Office Experience

We attend registrations alongside clients, not as a service add-on but as a standard part of each file. The practical steps matter as much as the documents.

Bilingual Documentation

Thai-language agreements presented with clear English explanations. You receive both the registered instrument and a practical summary of what each clause means.

Honest Scope Assessment

We tell you when a proposed structure is legally possible but carries practical risk — rather than simply completing the work and leaving the outcome to you.

Local Phuket Knowledge

Patong, Kamala, Bang Tao, Rawai — each area carries different development history, title risks, and zoning considerations. We work these same offices regularly.

Clear Timelines

Each engagement begins with a realistic timeline. If something changes the expected duration, we communicate it before it becomes a problem for your schedule.

Fixed-Fee Transparency

Our service fees are stated before work begins. Costs are not revised upward as the matter progresses. What is quoted is what is charged.

A property question deserves a proper answer.

Before signing anything, or paying any deposit, a short conversation can clarify which structures are open to you and what each one means for the longer term.

Common Questions

Questions we hear often.

Can a foreigner own land in Thailand?

Outright land ownership by foreign nationals is not permitted under Thai law in most circumstances. The structures most commonly used are condominium unit ownership (subject to the foreign quota of the project), 30-year registered leases, and land-holding through a Thai-majority company. Each option carries different implications for control, inheritance, and eventual exit. We discuss all of these during the initial consultation.

What is a chanote, and why does title type matter?

A chanote (Nor Sor 4 Jor) is the strongest form of land title in Thailand — it confirms the plot boundary by aerial survey and is registered with the Land Department. Other title types exist (Nor Sor 3, Sor Por Kor) and carry more limited rights or greater uncertainty about boundaries. Not all properties in Phuket hold chanote title, and some developments have historically been built on land with weaker documentation. Our title search confirms exactly what document type you are dealing with before you commit.

How long does a property acquisition take from start to transfer?

This varies considerably. A condominium purchase on a straightforward project with clean title can move from agreement to transfer in four to eight weeks. More complex structures — particularly those involving company formation or off-plan purchases — typically take longer and depend heavily on the developer's own timeline. We provide an estimated range at the outset of each matter and keep you informed if circumstances shift.

What does the title deed search cover?

Our title deed and encumbrance search confirms the current registered owner, title type and grade, recorded plot dimensions, and any registered encumbrances — including mortgages, servitudes, court orders, or lease registrations already on file. You receive a copy of the relevant title document and a short written summary in plain English. If the search surfaces anything that merits closer review, we note it clearly with our initial observations.

Do I need a lawyer if the developer already has a standard contract?

Developer contracts are written to reflect the developer's interests. They are frequently one-sided on matters such as construction timelines, payment forfeiture, what constitutes a material defect, and handover conditions. A review does not mean renegotiating the entire document — it means you know what you are signing before you sign it, and you have the opportunity to request adjustments on specific points that matter to you.

Are your fees fixed or do they vary?

Our standard services are offered at the fees listed: ฿29,800 for foreign buyer acquisition counsel, ฿9,500 for lease preparation or review, and ฿3,800 for a title deed search. For matters outside these parameters — such as unusually complex company structures or multi-plot transactions — we discuss scope and fees before any work begins. There are no hidden costs added as the file progresses.
