What to Watch for in a Pattaya Property Contract

  • Clear definitions of purchase price and payment terms. These should match what’s listed in the sales agreement. If you're unsure how payment schedules typically work, see our guide to off-plan payment plans.

  • Clause about the transfer of ownership and responsibility for taxes/fees. Learn more in our FAQ on property taxes and transfer costs.

  • Penalty clauses for delays or cancellations—make sure it’s fair on both sides. This is especially important when buying in developments like Aurora Pratumnak where construction timelines matter.

  • Warranty terms for construction defects. Ask about coverage length and who to contact for repairs—some developers offer better after-sales service than others.

  • It’s highly recommended to have a bilingual legal expert review the contract before signing. If you don’t have one, our team can help—reach out via our FAQ on legal support.
