Soft title and hard title
Soft title (possessory right) is based on the right of possession and is issued by the local village chief officials.
Hard title is registered with the Land Office, and trumps claims of ownership based on possessory right.
We highly advice you to get your hard title when you buy property in Cambodia to avoid any unnecessary dispute in the future. 4% of property price is payable upon completion of your property to get your hard title.
