Due Diligence

Technical and Legal Risk Mitigation

In the Thailand real estate market, due diligence is not an administrative formality; it is a high stakes risk mitigation mission. Surface level paperwork checks performatively executed by standard brokers are entirely insufficient to protect international capital. At Krabi Contractor, we operate under a strict “Red Flag” philosophy: what is advertised on the surface rarely matches the legal and physical reality of the asset. We combine forensic legal investigation with hands on construction expertise to deliver total structural and legal security.

Core Capabilities and Technical Methodology

• Forensic Legal Title Deed Verification

While the Chanote (Title Deed, Nor Sor 4 Jor) is the gold standard of Thai land ownership, its validity depends heavily on its historical lineage. Our legal team conducts an exhaustive investigation at the Land Office, tracing the title back to its original issuance (such as Sor Kor 1 or Nor Sor 3 Gor forms). This ensures the land was not improperly converted from protected national parks, public preserves, or agricultural forest zones, completely eliminating the risk of future government reclamation.

• Encumbrance, Lien, and Litigation Audits

We perform a complete forensic sweep of court registries and Land Office records to guarantee the property is entirely free from hidden corporate liabilities, private mortgages, tax liens, marital asset disputes, or active inheritance claims that could legally freeze your development for years.

• Geodetic GPS Boundary Calibration

Digital records do not always match the physical reality on the ground. We deploy licensed surveyors using advanced geodetic equipment and RTK GPS systems to cross reference official Land Department coordinates with the physical concrete boundary markers (pillar stones) on site. This step is vital in the sloped and hilly regions of Ao Nang and Khlong Muang, where overlapping boundaries with neighboring plots are common and regularly cause costly construction halts.

• Access Rights and Servitude (Easement) Authentication

A plot of land is worthless if you cannot legally access it. We thoroughly investigate the legal status of all access roads. If the road is private, we execute, verify, and register official Servitude (ภาระจำยอม) documents at the Land Office, guaranteeing that your entrance rights and subterranean utility lines (water, electricity, fiber optic) are legally protected and cannot be blocked by neighboring landowners in the future.
