BEFORE YOU COMMIT

Bring the villa and land questions together.

A villa advertised with land raises questions about both the building and the rights included in the proposed transaction. We organise available documents, property access and specialist reviews around the home you have found. You can approach us before a reservation, deposit or contract deadline; we confirm what can be completed within your timeframe.

01

Define what needs checking

We collect the listing, your questions and the seller’s available information to agree a review scope for the specific villa.

  • Villa location, access contact and purchase stage
  • Proposed transaction and available land documents
  • Payment deadlines and missing information recorded
02

Arrange legal due diligence

Our lawyer reviews the legal documents and proposed purchase. We manage documents and follow-up, with the agreed legal work included in your total quote.

  • Title, seller authority and encumbrance questions
  • Proposed ownership or lease arrangements and access rights
  • Contract, building-document and outstanding legal questions
03

Coordinate condition checks

We arrange authorised visits and an independent technical inspection where included, then bring the findings and seller responses together.

  • Inspection scope agreed for the villa and its facilities
  • Visible condition, utilities and maintenance questions
  • Open items followed up before your next decision

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:

  • Land title, seller authority and recorded encumbrances
  • Proposed ownership or lease arrangements, access rights and purchase contract
  • Available building documents and any estate arrangements 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 building inspection brief and authorised access
  • Specify any pool, utilities or other installations to be assessed
  • Record technical findings and any areas the specialist could not inspect

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.

BUYING IN RAWAI

Start with the villa you are considering.

If you are considering a villa with land in Rawai, send us the listing or map pin and explain what the seller has proposed. We can coordinate questions about the villa, the land documents, access and any shared facilities or management arrangements. The review is shaped around the actual property and documents.

Tell us whether it is a completed resale, a new villa or a project under construction. A completed property may need a condition inspection alongside legal review; an unfinished villa may also need checks on the work completed and proposed handover arrangements.

WHAT YOU RECEIVE

Findings, open questions and next steps.

You receive the agreed visit observations, an organised record of available documents and seller responses, and a list of unresolved questions. Legal findings come from our lawyer; technical findings come from our specialist.

Baanward manages the agreed service and practical follow-up. Our lawyer reviews title and proposed ownership arrangements and advises on signing or payment decisions. Our technical specialists provide any included inspections; a standard property visit is not a structural survey.

BUYING A HOUSE OR LAND?

Line up the title and the building together.

Check the title deed, the house registration book and the building permit together, and ask whether the building matches the approved plans. Our lawyer advises on title and ownership structure; our technical specialists assess the building where included.

PREPARE YOUR ENQUIRY

Share what you already have.

  • Villa listing or map pin in Phuket, including Rawai
  • Whether the villa is completed or under construction
  • The seller’s proposed purchase or lease arrangements
  • Any reservation, deposit, signing or travel deadline

A short description is enough to begin. We confirm which documents are 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 local availability, access, reports, timing and any travel costs before accepting the assignment. Additional work requires your approval.

Can you arrange due diligence for a villa with land in Rawai?

Yes, subject to the agreed scope and local specialist availability. We coordinate the property information and appoint our lawyer to assess the legal questions. Technical inspection can also be included where needed.

Should I contact you before paying a deposit?

You can contact us as soon as you have shortlisted a villa. Share any proposed deadline so we can confirm the review timing. Our lawyer advises on the documents and implications of signing or paying.

Are you independent of the seller or selling agent?

Yes. We receive no seller-side commissions and can support a villa you found yourself or through another agent.
