Several people nowadays usually feel much more concerned about the ownership of something that they own, maybe curious about whose it belongs to, and also the credibility of the land title deed itself that we might question about its trustworthiness later on. YOOHOO, positioning as an educated helper to all new professionals who seeks help in real estate stuffs literally want to help you guys in seeing how to do the basic inspection on the land title deeds as from the following methods:
1.Checking the land no.
Land no. is similar to your ID card which can help us to identify their identities no matter what, just check on the government official website (https://landsmaps.dol.gov.th/) and fill in all the provided information to see all the information related to that area.
2.Signature and the stamps
Signature or the stamp at the backside of the document should be genuine and signed by the government official who was responsible for that. We suggest that the usual signature would be signed with black ink and the stamp should be engraved with the official's name along with the date the document got signed.
3.Watermark
Watermark is usually perceived as one of the proof of evidence of the validity of the land title deed. The inspection method is pretty simple which can be proven by just holding the paper upwards where the sunlight can go through and whether it is real, the Chakri mark (A crown-look alike symbol) will be shown inside the two circles, also the watermark itself should have the word “Krom Tee Din” written below as well.
4.Land history–ex. Financial transaction, the former ownership
Any documents related to lands should have at least a few financial transactions in the past like being sold/ mortgaged. We can inspect all the history of that land like the former ownership or perhaps any other past statements from the back page of the document.
5.Heading to the Department of Lands
If you are still insecure about the validity of the document, you can head to the Department of Lands and then ask the officials there to help you out. It might be the simplest way to make sure about the validity of your land title deeds which I really recommend if you have no idea where to start.
All of the following methods are just the basic techniques we provided you as the guidelines to check the validity and credibility of your land title deeds. Besides, all the new professionals still have to be more observant in choosing to go with the trustworthy sellers in the first place to avoid getting involved in an illegal action afterwards.
