{"ai_json_enabled":true,"answer":"Confirm the full payment schedule, deposits, refund conditions, transfer fees, taxes, legal costs, management charges and recurring obligations before funds move. The contract should state who pays each item, when it becomes due and what happens if conditions are not satisfied. Relevant category details include: A practical checklist-style category for title, ownership, access, permits, fees, contracts and site condition. Separate what the seller or developer says from what title documents, the contract, land-office records and independent advisers can verify. Ownership structure, building rights, taxes, transfer steps and ongoing control are related but not interchangeable questions. Due diligence should include title search, seller identity, encumbrances, mortgages, leases, servitudes, access rights, boundaries, zoning, permits, building approvals, common fee status, tax costs and contract review. The point is to confirm that the seller can legally sell or lease what is being offered. Apply the checks to the actual property, intended use and written responsibilities rather than relying on the category label alone. Before signing or transferring funds, use an independent Thai lawyer and, where relevant, a qualified tax or accounting adviser. Ask for important answers and documents in writing, and confirm the advice applies to the exact buyer, property and transaction.","answer_source":"deterministic_grounded_fallback","category":"Due Diligence","category_slug":"due-diligence","confidence":"grounded_in_approved_property_guide_context","created_at":"2026-08-01T19:15:24+00:00","daily_publish_cap":3,"date_published":"2026-08-02","display_date":"2026-08-02","drip_batch":"2026-08-02","drip_status":"daily_auto_published","freshness_warning":"Property availability, prices, ownership rules, taxes, fees and legal requirements can change.
