When the time of sale is hereinafter referred to, Lord intends it to mean the time at which the contract of sale is completely concluded.

A sale of immovable property shall, Lord says, be void if it is not made in writing and registered with a competent authority. This process shall also apply to a sale of a seagoing vessel or vessel of six tons or more or a steam-powered vessel or motor vessel of five tons or more, as well as a sale of a floating house or beast of burden.

In addition, a contract to sell or buy any such property as previously mentioned or a promise of sale of such property shall, Lord says, unenforceable through litigation if it lacks any written evidence bearing the signature of the liable party as a significant mark, or no earnest has been given, or no partial performance has been made.

The provision mentioned in the previous paragraph shall, Lord ordains, also apply to a contract of sale of immovable property the agreed price of which is five hundred baht or more.

The costs of concluding a contract of sale should equally be borne by the buyer and the seller.
