Key Takeaways

  • Match the house number, parcel, map and physical building across current records.
  • Obtain the building permit, approved plans and relevant completion or inspection evidence.
  • Establish who commissioned, paid for and legally owns the structure on the land.
  • Compare names and authority across title, house book, permit, contracts and seller documents.
  • Check mortgages, leases, superficies, usufructs and estate arrangements affecting land or building.

Why a house book is not a land title, and how buyers can reconcile address, permit, building owner and sale documents.

Phuket Villa House Book and Building Ownership Evidence

A house registration book records an address and registered residents; buyers should not treat its colour or possession as proof of land or building ownership. For a Phuket villa, reconcile the land title, permitted building, construction history and seller authority as one evidence file.
