The reservation is often calculated as a percentage of the total cost for villas.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">How is the reservation paid for<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Reservation payment is made through:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>bank transfer to the agency or developer account,<\/li>\n<li>cash with a receipt.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Suppose you plan to register the property to a foreigner (Freehold). In that case, when paying for the reservation by international transfer, receiving an official bank document for subsequent ownership registration is advisable.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Reservation refund<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>depends on the terms of the agreement:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If the buyer refuses without a valid reason, the reservation is not refundable.<\/li>\n<li>If the transaction falls through due to the seller&#8217;s fault or legal problems are identified, the reservation is refundable.<\/li>\n<li>All refund conditions must be spelt out in the reservation agreement.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>After booking<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>We recommend conducting a legal check of the property (Due Diligence). If the check is successful, the main purchase and sale agreement is signed, and payment for the next stage is made.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Purchase of real estate: in person or remotely<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>Personal registration<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The buyer personally selects the property, signs the documents and is present during the ownership registration.<\/p>\n<p><em>Remote purchase<\/em><\/p>\n<p>If personal presence is impossible, the transaction can be completed through a representative by power of attorney. An authorised person carries out the entire procedure, from signing contracts to registration with the Land Department.<\/p>\n<p>Remote buying is especially popular among foreign buyers.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Practical advice<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Do not pay for a reservation without signing a formal contract.<\/li>\n<li>Check the terms of the Reservation Fee refund.<\/li>\n<li>For large transactions, use only bank transfers.<\/li>\n<li>When buying remotely, choose a lawyer or representative carefully.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Want to learn more about the whole process of buying property in Thailand?
