Documents of title to land
Today we talk about the most important document that proves ownership of the land or an apartment in a condominium with Alexandra Agapitovoy, a lawyer of the company ABC Asian Legal Service.
- Alexandra, please tell us what the document confirms the ownership of real estate in Thailand?
- If we're talking about the apartment, in which case the option one - it chanot (Chanote).If we are talking about land, it is much more interesting. In Thailand, there are about 20 different kinds of documents of title to land. However, if you want to buy the land, in this case, the ideal option would be chanot. Also will not have any problems if you buy land on the document Nor Sor 3, on the basis of its relatively easy to obtain in the future chanot. However, the data in the Nor Sor 3 may differ from the actual area of the site. If you decide to protect the area around the perimeter, to start building a fence you can just received confirmation from the neighbors about the absence of claims to the site. In chanote marked boundaries of the site identified by the GPS system and approved by the Land Department, and, accordingly, shall not be questioned.
By the way, a very important point chanote confirms only the ownership of the land, but the fact is there a building, this paper finds no reflection no.
- Why do not all land in Thailand is chanoty?
- The fact is that getting chanota subject to such time and financial cost that does not have the majority of Thais.
- How can visually determine that for a given plot of land granted chanot?
- Most boundaries of such land are marked columns, upon which the Land Office and Print Room chanota.
- That is to verify that indeed the land, which is sold on the chanotu is the land that showed enough to check the labels on the bars and what is written in chanote?
- In general, it is true. But there is one slight subtlety. In one case, a client asked us to conduct a legal review of deal to buy land near Bangkok. Initially, immediately alerted unreasonably low price for a plot of land with a convenient location and direct access to the road. But when we went to the scene, at first glance, everything looked good - numbers on the posts to coincide with the prescribed chanote, the actual size of the area also coincided with the stated. After the Land Department had received a comprehensive plan area. The result was simply stunning, it was found that the columns were dug up and moved to another location, where they dug in again, creating the illusion of a buyer, he buys an excellent ground for a great price. But actually selling the land on all sides was surrounded by fenced areas without access to the road and without the possibility of its implementation.
- Quite a scary story, I confess.
- No, nothing particularly wrong with this story is not, just it is very well illustrated by the fact that it is better to make sure 100% of the correctness of the documents before concluding the deal and registration at the Land Department. Time and money on data validation chanota, encumbrances on the land, the possibility of building on the ground at home, as well as the content of the contract of sale are small relative to the purchase price. It is better to apply to law firms with proven solid track record in this area. The specialists of our company this year alone has already been done about 90 transactions at the Land Department, last year the figure was 60. In this case the last two years, 2009 and 2010, we registered 110 companies. I think this is a good indicator for Pattaya.
- The question I often hear from the Russian, who want to buy the land - if they could buy a plot of land "pool their savings," and then to divide it among themselves?
- It is much easier at first to divide the land into plots to get chanot on each of them and then arrange the transaction at the Land Department. Buy land, with subsequent separation and transfer of each of the owners is also possible, however, an additional registration of title transfer, and consequently additional costs.
