Phuket Developer SPV Due Diligence: Who Actually Owes the Buyer?

Key Takeaways

  • Match every company name and registration number across reservation, contract and receipts.
  • Confirm authority and beneficial relationships independently.
  • Read guarantees for caps, expiry, conditions and enforcement forum.
  • Test what survives if the project company lacks cash or the brand/operator exits.

Identify the project company, land owner, contracting party and any parent support before relying on a developer brand.

Follow the obligation, not only the brand

A Phuket project may be marketed under a familiar group name while the sale contract, land and construction obligations sit in separate companies. Request current corporate records, authorised signatories, land title, permits, audited accounts where available, related-party agreements and written parent or completion support. Map who receives each payment, owns the site, builds, operates and must remedy defects.
