FAQ

Foreigners cannot directly own land in Thailand but may own a house separate from the land. Legal workarounds, such as setting up a Thai company or using lease agreements, exist. A lawyer can guide you through these options.

Key Takeaways

  • Thailand’s property market favors cash buyers, as foreign mortgages are rare.
  • Always seek legal advice before purchasing property.
  • Stay updated on regulations, as laws may change.

Before making a purchase, consult a qualified lawyer and real estate expert to ensure a secure transaction.

When buying property, the goal is always high returns at low risk. Thailand has strong property laws, so government-related issues are rare. The main risks come from developers, agents, or sellers.

Key Recommendations:

  • Choose Reputable Developers: Opt for those with a proven track record and completed projects with satisfied buyers.
  • Hire a Third-Party Inspector: No property is flawless at handover. Inspectors can identify defects, which developers typically fix for free.
  • Act Before Transfer: Developers are more responsive to fixing issues before finalizing the deal. Most offer a 1-2 year warranty, but it’s best to address concerns while payments are still pending.

Taking these steps helps secure a solid investment with minimal risk.

Phuket is Thailand’s second-largest city after Bangkok, with land values rising steadily each year. The real estate market still has significant growth potential, offering lucrative investment opportunities. Unlike other global hotspots, Phuket remains affordable, with luxury villas priced similarly to small apartments in cities like Singapore and Hong Kong.

Key Investment Factors:

  • Growing Real Estate Market: Property values have surged alongside tourism growth, yet prices remain competitive compared to China, Europe, and the U.S.
  • High Rental Yields: The peak season (Q4) sees strong demand, particularly from Asian and Russian buyers, making rental investments profitable.
  • Well-Developed Infrastructure: International airport, yacht marinas, golf courses, and shopping malls attract expats and retirees.
  • Tropical Lifestyle: Phuket offers a mix of stunning beaches, vibrant nightlife, world-class diving, cultural attractions, and gourmet dining.

With its strong tourism-driven market, Phuket presents a prime opportunity for both investment and a high-quality lifestyle.

For an average 3-bedroom home with a swimming pool, you can expect the following monthly expenses:

  • Electricity: 3,000–5,000 THB ($95–$166) with moderate AC usage
  • Water: ~800 THB ($25), depending on garden size and watering frequency
  • Maid Services: ~400 THB/day ($12.67), working 6 days a week
  • Pool & Garden Maintenance: ~2,500 THB ($79) for weekly visits

With Thailand’s rising minimum wage (now 400 THB/day), living costs remain relatively affordable while reflecting an improving standard of living.

Leasehold means you purchase the property for a fixed period (typically 30 years, renewable up to 90 years) but do not own the land. It offers lower capital costs and more flexibility in location but requires renewal agreements.

Freehold grants full ownership of the property and land indefinitely. However, foreigners can only own condominiums freehold, while land ownership requires setting up a Thai company.

Key Differences:

  • Leasehold: Lower cost, fixed-term ownership, easier access to prime locations.
  • Freehold: Full ownership but limited to condos or land through a Thai company, which requires annual tax filings (12,000–20,000 THB/year).

For long-term security, many foreigners opt for company ownership to acquire land freehold, ensuring better control and legal protection.

When selling a property in Thailand, both buyers and sellers are subject to certain taxes and fees. The responsibility for these costs is negotiable, but traditionally follows these guidelines:

Standard Taxes & Fees

  • Transfer Fee: 2% of the appraised or registered sale price (whichever is higher), usually split 50-50 between buyer and seller.
  • Withholding Tax:
    • 1% if the seller is a company.
    • If the seller is an individual, it’s a progressive rate based on property value and ownership duration. (Typically paid by the seller.)
  • Specific Business Tax (SBT): 3.3% of the appraised or registered sale price. Applies to sales within 5 years of ownership (paid by the seller unless exempt).
  • Stamp Duty: 0.5% (only payable if SBT is exempt, typically the seller’s responsibility).

Negotiation & Agreement

  • Normally, the seller covers all taxes, while transfer fees are split 50-50.
  • If a buyer offers below asking price, they may agree to cover part of the taxes and fees to secure the deal.
  • Some agreements may have the buyer covering all taxes and transfer fees.

Since no strict rules apply, clarifying these terms upfront in the purchase agreement ensures a smooth transaction.

A buyer’s agent works exclusively for you, ensuring your interests are protected throughout the property purchase process. In high-demand areas like Bangkok, Pattaya, Phuket, and Samui, having the right agent can save time, provide expert guidance, and often comes at no cost to the buyer since commissions are typically paid by the seller.

At McGee’s Estate, we help international clients find the perfect property by guiding them through every step—from the initial search to closing the deal. Our agents work within a vast network, ensuring access to both listed and off-market properties.

As a real estate agency, we assist clients in finding a suitable lawyer but do not recommend specific legal professionals. The lawyer represents the client's interests, while we facilitate the process by coordinating documents and communication between all parties.

Reservation & Sales Agreements

  • A reservation agreement is a simple, one-page document outlining the agreed terms of sale. It can be produced without a lawyer.
  • The sales and purchase agreement (SPA) is the seller's responsibility, typically drafted by their lawyer based on the reservation agreement.
  • Real estate agents do NOT create legal agreements, but in cases where both buyer and seller opt not to use a lawyer, a template can be used (though this is not advisable due to potential legal complications).

Legal Review & Due Diligence

  • Buyers may hire a lawyer to review the SPA and request amendments.
  • Lawyers can also perform background checks on developers and conduct land title due diligence to ensure a secure transaction.

Legal Fees

  • Fees vary based on property size and services required, but a standard estimate is 1% of the property value.
  • Some lawyers include contract amendments in their fee, while others may charge an additional hourly rate.

Using a qualified lawyer is strongly recommended to avoid legal risks and ensure a smooth property transaction.
