Phuket Resale Utility and Arrears Clearance Before Transfer

Confirm accounts, meters, deposits and outstanding charges before title and possession change hands.

A title transfer does not settle every operating account

List electricity, water, internet, estate, juristic, waste, pool and service accounts tied to the property. Obtain current statements, meter photographs, account-holder details, deposits and clearance letters where available. Reconcile these with the sale contract, completion statement and possession date.
