Why Us
We're expats who've bought property in Bangkok ourselves. Our inspectors are Thai building professionals who catch what you won't. We work for you, not the seller.
Money We've Saved Our Clients
And counting...
We've Walked in Your Shoes
We're not a faceless company. We're expats who've lived in Australia, Japan, the UK, and Thailand. We know what it's like to buy property where you don't speak the language and the rules aren't written down in English.
The Hidden Defects
One of our founders nearly signed on a condo in central Bangkok. The unit looked great during viewings. A last-minute walk-through with someone who actually knew construction revealed water damage behind the bathroom wall, a dying AC compressor, and cracks painted over that morning. The seller knew. The agent knew. Nobody said a word.
Lost in Translation
Buying property as a foreigner here means dealing with a process built for Thai speakers. Developer contracts, building reports, juristic person documents β all in Thai. One of our founders spent weeks arguing with a developer over defect repairs before realizing the Thai-language warranty said something completely different from what the sales team had promised in English.
The Realization
Between us, we've got 8+ years in Thailand. We've watched friends buy condos off showroom tours and agent promises, then find serious problems after transfer. What this market was missing was simple: an independent inspection by someone who reads Thai, knows buildings, and works for the buyer.
Our Inspectors: Thai Property Professionals Who Know Every Defect
We didn't hire random inspectors. We partnered with English-speaking Thai locals who are themselves property owners and managers. They know exactly where to look because they've fixed these problems in their own buildings.
"Listings show you square meters and amenities. They don't tell you whether the building passed its earthquake inspection, how fast management responds to repairs, or if there's water damage behind the walls. We check what sellers and developers won't mention."
What They Look For (That Sellers Don't Mention)
| β Fumigation and pest control records | β Has the building been treated? How recently? |
| β Earthquake safety inspection status | β Especially critical after the March 2025 Myanmar earthquake that damaged 13,000+ Bangkok buildings |
| β Signs of flood or water damage | β Stains, warping, mold growth in hidden areas |
| β AC unit condition and drainage | β A malfunctioning AC in Bangkok means mold within weeks |
| β Water pump and plumbing issues | β Pressure problems, leaks, drainage speed |
| β Facility wear and tear | β Indicators of how responsive (or neglectful) building management actually is |
The Language Gap Nobody Talks About
Bangkok has inspection companies. They're built for Thai buyers β Thai-language checklists designed for domestic handovers. If you're a foreign buyer who needs documentation you can actually read, hand to your lawyer back home, or use to push back on a developer, that service didn't exist. We built it.
Reports You Can't Read
We looked at 16 inspection companies in Bangkok. Zero produce English-language reports as a core service. The industry standard is a Thai-language photo checklist β fine if you're a Thai buyer doing a unit handover, useless if you need to negotiate defect repairs with a developer or file a warranty claim through your lawyer.
No Reporting Standard
Thailand has no standardized inspection reporting format. No consistent methodology. Every inspector does it differently, and most reports amount to photos with brief Thai-language notes. We've developed a structured reporting methodology that this market doesn't have β detailed, organized by severity, in English, and designed to give you actual leverage.
Built for Foreign Buyers
Our reports are in clear English, organized by severity, and built to be handed to sellers, agents, and lawyers. Every defect is photographed, described, and categorized β you know what needs fixing and what it means for your purchase. This isn't a checklist. It's documentation you can negotiate with.
"Thailand's property sector lacks a unified regulatory framework for buyer protection... this regulatory gap enables informal operators and unlicensed brokers to act without legal accountability."

Why pre-purchase documentation matters
Most Bangkok condo deals move fast. Professional inspection documentation gives you hard evidence to negotiate repairs, adjust your offer, or walk away. Our reports are built to share with sellers, agents, and your lawyer.
