Chanote Land Title

[yorky]

Hello
By the end of this month 'our' land (1 Rai) will be paid for and the Chanote Land Title will be in the name of the dear beloved (db).
The land is in the Phen district so I am presuming that the land registry officer will be from Phen. I am also presuming that he will visit the site/plot do his duty of the necessary measuring, detailing etc and present his bill.

Has anyone any ideas what this will cost me for the land registry officer to do his duties?

Just bumping this thread to the top in the hope of getting an answer.

Yes Amphoe Phen has its own land registry office. When you enquire to register your land a surveyor will be sent out to appraise it and make sure the boundary markers conform to the recorded land papers. If all in order he will countersign the transfer document. There is no charge for this service , the cost is included in the transfer fee.

Amphoe Penn covers a large area, and it depends on the location of your particular plot. If central to the Amphoe office, expect to pay about 14,000bht. Farther out and remote, about 6,000bht per rai.There is no advantage in claiming a lower purchase price as the value is predetermined by a chart of previous transactions.
It is normal for the vendor and purchaser to agree a 50/50 split on this sum. However I gather the land may currently be in a banks name so this wouldn't apply.If you have any doubts about your security of tenure, presumably the title will be in wifes name, you can ask the registrar to prepare a legally binding lease on your behalf.

Sorry I forgot to add at extra cost of course. The lease will be noted on the land registry and effectively prevents any further sale without your permission.
