Do not be fooled by a beautiful sunset or a stunning panoramic view of the surroundings without first checking the land title. These are some of the types of land titles you may encounter when buying property:
- Chanotte
- Nor Sor 3 (Certificate of Use)
- Sor Kor 1
- Nor Sor 2 (Reservation Note)
- Nor Sor 5 (Inquiry Note)
- Sor Por Gor 4-01
- Sor Tor Gor
- Gor Sor Nor 5
- Por Bor Thor 5
CERTIFICATE OF USE OR NOR. SOR. 3 (หนังสือรับรองการทำประโยชน์ หรือน.ส.3)
CERTIFICATE OF USE is a document from the competent official certifying that land has already been in use.
Right:
- Rights are similar to a Chanotte, and are considered similar to proof of ownership.
Transfer Right:
- Transferable to a person or juristic person.
- Transaction done at district offices or the Department of Lands.
How to buy:
- Buyer should check the duplicate document at the Department of Lands to verify authenticity.
- Do a land survey by the Land Surveyors office (part of the Department of Lands) to obtain the accurate size of the land.
Now you know more or less what you are looking for. The next move is to find out whether this beautiful land has a proper deed, is worth buying and whether or not you get what you pay for.
