Real Estate in Thailand: Professional Support and Full Buyer Protection
Buying an overseas asset requires deep understanding of local law. We ensure legal clarity and access to liquid listings in Phuket, Pattaya, Samui, and Bangkok. We also work with other locations based on your individual request.
We help you buy:
- Condominium apartments
- Villas, houses, and townhouses
- Commercial real estate
We work across all market segments:
- Off-plan: Early-stage and under-construction projects (maximum capital growth).
- New developments: Completed projects from developers, already commissioned.
- Resale market: Verified properties from private owners.
1. Expert audit and strategy
We start with a detailed consultation in your preferred messenger. Our goal is not just to show listings, but to build a personalized buying strategy. We assess your objectives (investment, relocation, or second home) and define a working format so you receive selections in the pace and format that suits you.
2. Personalized listing shortlist
We perform internal liquidity checks and select only listings that match your strategy. You receive a focused shortlist of top options that have passed our quality filter.
3. Full technical and legal due diligence
This is the key stage where we remove risks:
- For new developments: We verify the developer, construction permits (EIA), and land title (Chanote). We also show completed projects by the same developer so you can assess real build quality.
- For resale: We inspect for hidden defects and check legal status: no liens, encumbrances, or sale restrictions. We ensure the unit fits your selected quota and has no outstanding maintenance fees.
4. Transaction support and currency control
International transfers to Thailand have important details. We fully support foreign transfer flow to obtain the FET form (Foreign Exchange Transaction), which is required for Freehold registration. We prepare and review contracts, protecting your interests at every step.
5. Registration at the Land Department
Final stage at the Land Department. We control official title transfer, payment of state fees, and document issuance. Then we hand over the full set of keys.
6. Post-sale service and management
We remain your partner after closing. Our team helps with furnishing, internet setup, and utilities. If your priority is passive income, we provide trust management, stable ROI, and excellent property condition without your personal presence in Thailand.
FAQ: Answers to key questions
- What is an FET form, and can I buy without it?
- It is a Thai bank certificate confirming foreign currency inflow. It is critical for Foreign Quota (full ownership) registration. Without it, the Land Department will not register ownership to a foreign buyer.
- Can I own land in Thailand?
- Foreign nationals cannot directly own land, but we structure legal options via long-term leasehold or a Thai company. Both options are lawful when arranged correctly.
- Freehold vs Leasehold in simple terms?
- Freehold means perpetual ownership. Leasehold is a 90-year lease (30+30+30), registered by the state, and it can be inherited or resold.
- What does Chanote guarantee?
- Chanote is the highest land title category. It confirms satellite-measured boundaries and no conflicting ownership claims or encumbrances.
- What taxes and fees should I budget for?
- Usually the buyer pays around 1-2% of the appraised value at transfer (Transfer Fee). We provide exact calculations before closing.
- How do I verify that a unit is not mortgaged?
- Before closing, we request an up-to-date Land Department extract. In Thailand, all encumbrances are recorded on the back side of the Chanote document.
- Do I need to fly to Thailand to buy?
- No. We handle remote transactions via power of attorney. You can purchase from anywhere and receive documents by courier.
- Why are your services free for new developments?
- We are official developer partners, and our fee is paid by the developer from their marketing budget. The property price for you remains unchanged.
- What are utility and maintenance costs in Thailand?
- You pay an annual Common Area Fee (pool, security, lobby, etc.), based on unit size. Electricity and water are paid monthly by government meter rates.
