In any real estate transaction, conducting thorough due diligence is crucial to ensuring that the property being acquired is free of legal complications, financial encumbrances, or ownership disputes. At Specter CNC & Partners Co., Ltd., we offer comprehensive land and property due diligence services for buyers, investors, developers, and financial institutions. Our experienced legal team meticulously investigates all aspects of the property to protect our clients’ interests and ensure a smooth transaction.

What is Land and Property Due Diligence?

Due diligence is the process of verifying the legal, financial, and regulatory status of a property before completing a transaction. This involves a detailed investigation into the property’s title, ownership history, legal restrictions, and potential liabilities. The goal is to identify any risks or issues that could impact the buyer’s rights or the property’s value.

Key Aspects of Due Diligence

At Specter CNC & Partners Co., Ltd., our due diligence services cover all critical aspects of the property to provide our clients with a clear understanding of the legal standing of the land or building they intend to acquire. Our process includes:

1. Title Verification:
   • Ensuring that the property’s title is legitimate and that the seller has the legal right to sell the property.
   • Verifying that the title is free of liens, encumbrances, mortgages, or legal disputes.
2. Ownership and Transfer Rights:
   • Confirming the current ownership and checking the property’s history of ownership transfers to identify any irregularities.
   • Ensuring that the seller has full authority to transfer the property to the buyer.
3. Land Use and Zoning Compliance:
   • Verifying that the property is zoned for its intended use, whether for residential, commercial, or industrial purposes.
   • Checking for any restrictions or limitations on land use, such as environmental regulations or zoning laws.
4. Construction and Building Permits:
   • Ensuring that any existing structures on the property have been built in accordance with local building codes and that all necessary construction permits have been obtained.
   • Investigating whether any violations or penalties have been issued against the property for non-compliance with regulations.
5. Boundary and Land Surveys:
   • Confirming the property’s physical boundaries and ensuring that they align with the title deed and legal description.
   • Checking for any encroachments or disputes with neighboring properties.
6. Utility and Infrastructure Access:
   • Verifying that the property has access to essential utilities, such as water, electricity, and sewage systems.
   • Investigating whether any easements or rights of way exist that could affect the property’s value or usability.
7. Environmental and Legal Risks:
   • Investigating any potential environmental issues, such as flood risks, soil contamination, or proximity to protected land.
   • Ensuring compliance with environmental regulations and assessing any liabilities that may arise from environmental concerns.

Due Diligence for Foreign Investors

For foreign nationals investing in Thai real estate, conducting proper due diligence is even more critical, as Thai law imposes specific restrictions on land ownership for foreigners. Our legal team specializes in assisting foreign buyers with:

• Verification of Foreign Ownership Structures: For foreign nationals purchasing property through a Thai company or under a leasehold agreement, we ensure that the ownership structure complies with Thai law and protects the buyer’s interests.
• Condominium Ownership Compliance: We assist foreign buyers in purchasing condominium units by verifying that the development complies with the 49% foreign ownership limit, ensuring that the buyer’s rights are legally sound.

• Land Acquisition Due Diligence: Investigating the ownership and zoning of land intended for development, ensuring that it is suitable for the proposed project.
• Project Compliance: Verifying that all necessary permits and licenses have been obtained for the development, including environmental impact assessments, construction permits, and approvals from relevant authorities.
