Know Exactly What You're Buying Before You Sign.

Yes. Thailand's Condominium Act lets foreigners own condos in freehold, as long as the building's foreign ownership quota stays under 49% of total unit area. Each building tracks this separately, so check availability before you commit. You'll need a foreign exchange transfer certificate (FET) from a Thai bank to complete the purchase. Land and houses can't be owned outright by foreigners, but condos are straightforward. *Bangkok Inspect provides property inspection services only. This is general information, not legal advice. For legal matters related to property purchases, consult a licensed Thai attorney.*

We check over 200 points across the entire unit: structural condition (walls, ceilings, floors), electrical systems, plumbing and water pressure, AC performance, windows and door seals, appliance function, mold and moisture indicators, and building common areas. Every finding gets photographed and goes into a professional English PDF report with defect classifications and repair cost estimates.

The report documents every defect with photos, severity ratings, and estimated repair costs. Buyers use this as hard evidence in price negotiations. If we find cracked tiles, a leaking bathroom, and an underperforming AC unit, you've got documented proof of what needs fixing and what it'll cost. Sellers take professional documentation seriously. Most buyers recover several times the inspection fee through price reductions.

Yes. New condos in Bangkok regularly come with construction defects: cracked tiles, poor grouting, seal failures, plumbing problems, and AC units that don't cool properly. Developers usually offer a one-year warranty, but they won't fix what they don't know about. Our inspection catches these issues while the warranty is still active, so repairs cost you nothing. We recommend inspecting at purchase and again at month 11 before the warranty runs out.

A warranty inspection is a full check of your unit before the developer's one-year warranty expires. We document every defect, photograph it, and put together a claim-ready report you submit to the developer. Book this at month 11 so the developer has time to finish repairs before the deadline. Common findings: tile cracks, window seal failures, drainage issues, and AC underperformance.

No. We handle everything on-site and coordinate access with the seller, agent, or developer. You get a detailed PDF report with photos within 24-48 hours. We can also set up a video call walkthrough during the inspection if you want real-time updates. Many of our clients are overseas buyers who make their purchase decisions based entirely on our reports.
