Phuket Resale Property Concealed Defects: Evidence Before Closing

15 August 2026
Phuket Resale Property Concealed Defects: Evidence Before Closing

Document repairs, leaks, claims and seller statements before transfer instead of relying on fresh finishes.

Cosmetic work can erase clues without curing the cause

Ask the seller to identify known leaks, structural movement, termites, electrical faults, pool losses, neighbour disputes, insurance claims and repairs. Match the answers to invoices, photos, warranties, juristic or estate records and an independent inspection. Record inaccessible areas and tests that could not be completed.

Put agreed disclosures, repair conditions, retained evidence and handover documents into the transaction file. Do not assume a verbal statement survives closing or that every defect has the same legal remedy. Use the tropical inspection guide, furnished resale checklist and buyer service.
