SUPPORT AROUND YOUR NEXT STEP

Resale or off-plan, ask the right questions first.

Phuket condo buyers often decide from a distance, sometimes before the building is finished. We help organise what can be checked, what the project or building management can supply and which questions need specialist review. Your existing agent can remain part of the process.

01

View the unit and the project

We arrange access where possible and record the practical details that matter to your brief, including visible condition, the shared areas available to view and, for a project still being built, the progress on site.

  • Agreed viewing priorities and dated observations
  • Construction progress and access recorded where the project is still being built
  • Differences from the listing or brochure recorded for follow-up
02

Gather the project and building information

We request available information from the seller, developer, agent or building management and track what has and has not been supplied.

  • Reported common charges, sinking fund and maintenance information
  • Available approvals, management and unit documents
  • Outstanding legal or technical questions referred
03

Connect purchase and handover

We coordinate the agreed purchase tasks and help prepare for the change from buyer to owner.

  • Specialist review appointments before commitment
  • Translation and practical document support
  • Inspection, keys and handover arrangements

DUE DILIGENCE SCOPE

Legal review, technical checks and clear follow-up.

We agree the review around the property, proposed transaction and documents available. Your quote includes Baanward’s fee and all specialist fees for the agreed scope, including our lawyer’s agreed work where legal review is included. Any additional work or spending requires your approval.

Legal due diligence by our lawyer

Our lawyer performs the agreed legal review, with the fee included in your total quote. The legal engagement defines their professional responsibilities without adding a fee for the same work. Depending on the property and scope, questions may include:

  • Unit title, seller authority and recorded encumbrances
  • Proposed ownership arrangements, applicable foreign-ownership questions and purchase contract
  • Available building-management documents and legal questions relevant to the transaction

Our lawyer determines the required legal checks, explains the findings and advises on signing or payment questions.

Inspections by our technical specialists

Where included, our specialist assesses condition within a defined inspection brief. We coordinate the practical arrangements:

  • Agree the unit inspection brief and authorised access
  • Identify installations and accessible areas included in the inspection
  • Record specialist findings separately from ordinary viewing observations

A viewing does not replace a technical inspection. Our technical specialist confirms the assessment methods, access requirements and limitations.

Your service, findings and next steps

We collect available documents, organise access and appointments, and follow up seller or management responses. You receive the agreed review record: documents received and missing, findings attributed to our lawyer or technical specialist, unresolved questions and practical next steps. Baanward does not issue legal opinions or technical certifications.

OFF-PLAN OR NEW-BUILD?

Ask before you pay, not after.

If much of the price is due before title is transferred, ask what evidence confirms each milestone, whether any security protects your payments and how the completion date can be extended. Our lawyer advises on the contract; we help gather the evidence and follow up.

RESALE OR FROM ABROAD?

Check the unit, the building and the paperwork.

Contact us before you sign a reservation or booking agreement or pay a deposit. Ask who has authority to sell, whether the building has foreign-ownership quota, and whether common fees are paid up to date. If you are abroad, we arrange authorised viewings and local steps; our lawyer advises on the contract and any power of attorney.

Visiting for a few weeks? Tell us your dates and we line up the inspection, the building management meeting and the lawyer appointments inside that window.

PLAN THE REVIEW

Cover what matters for a Phuket condo.

Phuket condo projects range from completed resale buildings to developments still under construction, often sold to buyers abroad. Give us the project or building name, the unit or listing reference and the stage the project has reached, so we can plan the right visits and information requests.

For an off-plan unit, share the payment schedule, the approvals the developer has shown you and the proposed completion date. We help obtain the supporting evidence and keep open points visible; our lawyer advises on the contract.

Foreign ownership of a condominium unit depends on the foreign quota and on the buyer meeting the legal requirements at the time of transfer. Our lawyer reviews these questions within your agreed scope.

If a rental programme, furnishing package or management agreement is offered with the unit, tell us. We record what is offered and refer the questions to our lawyer where they are within your agreed scope.

WHAT YOU RECEIVE

Know what is answered and what is still open.

Your agreed scope produces a dated viewing record, a register of requested and received information, specialist findings where included and an open-items checklist. Questions about ownership eligibility, contracts or payment are assessed by our lawyer.

You have one main point of contact at Baanward for the agreed work. Our lawyer provides legal findings and advice, and our technical specialists provide their assessments. Their agreed fees are included in your total quote. Our lawyer’s separate legal engagement defines their responsibilities to you; it does not mean an additional fee for the same agreed work. A practical visit does not replace a technical inspection.

PREPARE YOUR ENQUIRY

Start with the property you have found.

  • Project or building name, unit or listing link in Phuket
  • Resale, completed developer unit or off-plan purchase
  • Your intended use and viewing priorities
  • Proposed signing, payment, handover and travel dates

A short description is enough to begin. We confirm the documents needed and how to share them after discussing your scope.

SCOPE AND COSTS

Agree the work before it begins.

Your total quote includes Baanward’s fee and all legal and technical specialist fees for the agreed work. We confirm access, visits, specialist availability, reports, timing and any travel costs. Extra work or spending outside that scope requires your approval.

How reliable are off-plan completion dates in Phuket and the rest of Thailand?

A completion date in an off-plan contract is the developer’s target, and the contract may allow the developer to extend it for stated reasons. We cannot predict whether a project will finish on time. We can compare dated site progress with the construction and payment schedule, record when work slows or stops, and share that record with our lawyer, who advises how the extension and delay terms in your contract apply.

Can you check the condo while I am overseas?

We can arrange authorised visits and share the agreed record. Our lawyer advises on any legal arrangements needed for your participation in the purchase.

Can you obtain every building-management document?

We request the information included in your scope and record what is supplied, missing or refused. We do not guarantee that a seller or building manager will provide every document.

Are you independent of my selling agent?

Yes. Baanward receives no seller-side commissions. We can coordinate with the agent you already use while providing independent support to you.
