Why nagagrouus
Legal counsel that works in your interest, not the transaction's.
What distinguishes our approach is straightforward: we are paid by our clients, not by referral. Every recommendation we make is shaped by that relationship.

Six reasons clients choose to work with us.
Direct Land Office Access
We attend Land Office proceedings alongside clients. Title verification, lease registration, and transfer day are handled by the same qualified lawyer who reviewed your documents — not delegated to a runner.
Focused Practice Area
We practise property law only. No immigration, no family law, no commercial litigation. The focus keeps our knowledge current and ensures clients are not competing for attention with unrelated matters.
Fixed Fees, No Referral Income
Our fees are set before work begins. We accept no referral payments from agents, developers, or lenders. The advice we give is shaped entirely by what is appropriate for your situation.
Plain-English Documentation
Thai agreements are accompanied by clear English summaries that explain what each clause means in practice — not just a literal translation, but a practical explanation of what you are agreeing to.
Local Phuket Knowledge
We know the title history, zoning conditions, and Land Office practices for specific areas across Phuket — from Patong and Kamala to Bang Tao and Rawai. These details are not interchangeable.
Candid Risk Assessment
When a proposed structure carries practical risks alongside its legal permissibility, we say so. Clients are better served by understanding what they are accepting than by a completion that creates complications later.
Professional Expertise
Thai-qualified lawyers with a decade of Phuket property experience.
All legal work at nagagrouus is carried out by lawyers registered with the Thai Lawyers Council. Our founding partner has worked exclusively in Phuket property law since 2011, with experience across condominium quota analysis, chanote title verification, and the registration of long-term lease agreements.
- Thai Lawyers Council registration
- Over 400 transactions handled since 2011
- Land Office attendance as standard, not an add-on
- Second-lawyer review on every file
What this means in practice
When we attend a transfer at the Land Office, we are not translating forms on the day. We have already reviewed the title, confirmed the quota position, and checked all documents in advance. The time at the Land Office is for the registration itself — not for discovering issues that should have been resolved earlier.
What you receive
- Written fee confirmation before any work begins
- Copy of all Land Office documents in your file
- English summary with practical explanations
- No additional charges as the matter progresses
- Clear communication on scope before you commit
Value & Pricing
Fees that are stated and held.
Our three services carry fixed prices: ฿29,800 for foreign buyer acquisition counsel, ฿9,500 for lease agreement preparation or review, and ฿3,800 for a title deed search. These are not opening positions. They are stated before work begins and charged as stated when the work is complete.
For matters that fall outside standard scope — multi-plot transactions, complex company structures — we discuss fees and scope together before beginning. Nothing proceeds without a clear understanding of what is included.
Client Communication
You are kept informed at each step.
Foreign buyers making property decisions in Thailand are often managing the process from a distance, sometimes across time zones. We respond to enquiries within one business day. When Land Office timelines shift or additional information is needed from another party, we inform clients before it becomes a problem for their schedule.
- One business day response commitment
- Proactive updates when circumstances change
- Available Monday–Saturday during office hours
- English-language communication throughout

What Sets Us Apart
Distinctive features of our practice.
Independence from the transaction
We are not part of the property sale. We do not receive commission from developers, and we have no financial incentive in whether a transaction proceeds. Our advice reflects what we see in the documents and the registry — not what any other party to the transaction would prefer us to say.
Primary source title verification
Title and encumbrance searches are conducted at the Land Office using original registry records. We do not use third-party databases or rely on developer-supplied title copies. The chanote we review is the one held in the Land Office file.
Structured internal review
Every client file is reviewed by a second qualified lawyer before documents are finalised. This applies equally to title search summaries, draft agreements, and lease preparations. It is not an occasional quality check — it is the standard process on every file.
Area-specific Phuket expertise
Title conditions in Phuket vary by area in ways that a general overview of Thai property law does not capture. Development history, proximity to restricted zones, and historical title grade upgrades differ across the island. We work these specific locations regularly and know the relevant details.
