Prepare for property transfer day in Thailand
Agree the documents, payments and handover before transfer day. Confirm the registration requirements and charges for the particular transaction.
Prepare transfer day with the seller, your lender if any, and the responsible Land Office. The documents, charges and timing depend on the transaction; a viewing or loan estimate does not settle them.
Confirm the documents
Ask the Land Office or your independent lawyer for the case-specific list. It may include title documents, identity and authority documents, consent, funding evidence or loan papers. Check names and property references across the agreement and supporting documents.
Agree the payments
Obtain an itemised estimate of fees and taxes, confirm which party pays each charge, and agree the balance-payment method with the seller and lender. Verify payee details independently and follow the agreed registration and funding arrangements. Do not rely on a general fee percentage or a promised completion time.
Review registration and handover
Before signing, have any remaining conditions explained. Check the registered names, property reference and relevant rights with the officer or your adviser. Keep receipts and copies of the registration documents.
At handover, record the property’s condition, meter readings, keys and access devices. Confirm outstanding common fees, utilities and any change-of-account steps with the relevant providers.
Send Happy Home your property inquiry to discuss preparation and viewing or transfer coordination. The Land Office, lender and independent advisers confirm the requirements within their roles.
