For buyers stepping into the world of luxury real estate, choosing the right location or premium specs may seem like the biggest task.
But the real difference lies in something far less glamorous but infinitely more important
Understanding the Sales Contract.
Even when you’re purchasing a multi-million-baht property, unclear terms can lead to future frustrations – just like with any other property.
That’s why a truly exceptional home starts with a well-structured, transparent agreement.
Here are the key contract points luxury homebuyers often overlook – but absolutely shouldn’t
Ownership Rights & Title Documents
Don’t assume that every luxury project is legally airtight.
- Double-check
• What type of land title deed is being transferred? (e.g., Nor Sor 4 Jor vs. Nor Sor 3 Gor)
• Is the home truly ready for ownership transfer?
• Are there any mortgages or legal encumbrances on the property?
A reputable project should clearly disclose all ownership documentation upfront, with copies attached to the contract.
Common Fees – The Hidden Cost of Luxury
Upscale amenities like clubhouses, parks, and security services come at a price and that price should be clear.
- Look for
• The exact common area fee and how many years are prepaid
• Future fee adjustment clauses
• Details on community management—Is there a legal juristic person in place?
Transparency in these details helps ensure your luxury lifestyle doesn’t come with financial surprises.
Post-Handover Support
The day you receive the keys isn’t the finish line – it’s the starting point.
✅ Your contract should include
• Warranty periods on structure and key systems
• Whether there’s a dedicated after-sales service team
• A material list for future maintenance or repairs
• Clear reporting channels for any post-handover issues
• A breakdown of which responsibilities fall on the homeowner
A real luxury home comes with long-term peace of mind—not just pre-sale promises.
Special Offers & Hidden Clauses
Be cautious of eye-catching perks like “free furniture,” “complimentary common fees,” or “premium giveaways.”
Make sure to ask
• Are there conditions? (e.g., transfer deadlines, model restrictions)
• Are there items excluded from the advertised price?
• Will any discounts affect your taxes or transfer fees?
What looks like a bonus today shouldn’t become a burden tomorrow.
Penalties, Delays & Contract Termination
Nobody wants a deal to fall apart—but if it does, your contract should protect you on both sides.
- You should know
• Will the developer be fined for delayed delivery?
• If the buyer cancels, what portion of the payment is refundable?
• Can the ownership transfer date be postponed—and how early must you notify?
A fair contract is not one-sided. It should balance both rights and responsibilities.
Luxury is more than marble floors and skyline views.
It’s about clarity, integrity, and the confidence to move forward without second-guessing.
A luxury home is one of life’s biggest investments. Every square meter reflects your lifestyle, values, and future.
And the strongest foundation for that home?
Isn’t just concrete and steel—it’s a well-crafted, transparent contract that protects not just your property…
…but your long-term peace of mind.
“A truly great home begins with a clear agreement—because it’s better to be informed now than regret later.”
SOCIAL MEDIA CAPTION
“A good home starts with a clear contract – Not just a promise of beauty.”
Would you sign a 20-million-baht deal based on just two pages of fine print?
