Real Estate Contracts & Agreements at Specter CNC & Partner

The success of any real estate transaction in Thailand depends heavily on well-drafted contracts and agreements. Whether you are purchasing, selling, leasing, or developing property, ensuring that the legal documentation is comprehensive, clear, and compliant with Thai law is essential to protecting your interests. At Specter CNC & Partners Co., Ltd., we provide expert legal services in drafting, reviewing, and negotiating real estate contracts and agreements to safeguard our clients’ investments.

Key Real Estate Contracts and Agreements

Our firm offers comprehensive support for all types of real estate contracts and agreements, ensuring that each document is tailored to the specific needs of the transaction. These include:

  • Sales and Purchase Agreements (SPA): Drafting and reviewing contracts for the sale and purchase of residential, commercial, and industrial properties. We ensure that all legal terms, conditions, and obligations are clearly outlined to protect both buyers and sellers.
  • Lease Agreements: Preparing lease contracts for long-term and short-term leases of property. This includes residential leases, commercial leases, and land leases, with a focus on safeguarding the rights of both landlords and tenants.
  • Construction Contracts: Drafting contracts between property owners, contractors, architects, and developers for real estate development projects. We ensure that all terms related to the scope of work, timelines, payments, and warranties are clearly defined to avoid disputes.
  • Joint Venture Agreements: Assisting clients in forming joint ventures for real estate development, ensuring that the legal rights and obligations of all parties involved are outlined, including profit-sharing and decision-making responsibilities.
  • Option Agreements: Drafting option contracts for the right to purchase property in the future, ensuring that the buyer’s right is protected while the seller’s interests are clearly defined.
  • Escrow Agreements: Ensuring the security of real estate transactions by preparing escrow agreements that govern the release of funds in property purchases.

Custom Contracts for Buyers

Foreign nationals often face unique legal challenges when purchasing property in Thailand, as direct ownership of land by non-Thais is restricted. At Specter CNC & Partners Co., Ltd., we specialize in drafting contracts that ensure compliance with Thai law while maximizing protection for foreign buyers. This includes:

  • Condominium Purchase Agreements: Drafting contracts for the purchase of condominium units, the most common form of property ownership for foreigners in Thailand, ensuring compliance with the 49% foreign ownership limit.
  • Lease Agreements for Foreign Nationals: Structuring long-term lease agreements for foreign nationals looking to lease land or property, typically for periods of up to 30 years, with the option for renewal.

Comprehensive Contract Review and Negotiation

Whether you are entering into a property sale, lease, or development agreement, it is crucial to have an experienced legal team review the terms of the contract. Our services include:

  • Contract Review: We meticulously review real estate contracts and agreements to identify any potential risks or legal ambiguities. Our goal is to ensure that all terms are fair, transparent, and enforceable under Thai law.
  • Negotiation Support: We assist in negotiating the terms of real estate contracts on behalf of our clients, ensuring that their interests are protected. Whether you are negotiating the sale price, lease terms, or construction milestones, we provide strategic advice to achieve the best possible outcome.

Important Clauses in Real Estate Contracts

When drafting or reviewing real estate contracts, certain clauses are essential to protect the rights of all parties involved. These include:

  • Price and Payment Terms: Clearly defining the purchase price, deposit, payment schedule, and penalties for late payment.
  • Conditions Precedent: Outlining the conditions that must be met before the transaction can be completed, such as obtaining financing or resolving land title issues.
  • Termination Clauses: Specifying the conditions under which either party can terminate the agreement without penalty, as well as the remedies available in the event of a breach.
  • Dispute Resolution: Ensuring that the contract includes a clear process for resolving disputes, whether through mediation, arbitration, or court proceedings, to avoid lengthy and costly litigation.
