What Should I Do If the Seller Delays Sharing Documents Past the Deadline?

Delays in document sharing can jeopardize due diligence. First, request a written deadline extension for the reservation period and require the seller to confirm which documents will be provided and by when. Maintain all due diligence independent of the sales team, and avoid committing funds until the essential documents are available. If extensions are granted, document the new timeline and keep a clear completion clause. If the seller cannot provide key documents (title status, encumbrances, permits, quotas, plans) by the agreed date, consider whether the deposit terms allow a refund if due diligence is unsatisfactory. Seek advice from a Thai-qualified lawyer to clarify refund triggers and remedies in writing. Ensure your funds are held securely and that refunds would be returned promptly if conditions fail. Do not silence your right to inspect; insist on transparency and translations where needed. This is general guidance; obtain current independent legal advice tailored to your situation.
