Buying in Bangkok

Buying here is not hard. It is just unfamiliar.

Most of what stops foreign buyers is not the money — it is not knowing what is normal. We have taken buyers through this for twenty years. Ask us the awkward questions first, then look at homes.

The questions foreign buyers actually ask us.

Plain answers from doing this, not from a brochure. Where something needs a lawyer, we say so and introduce you to one we have worked with for years.

Yes. A foreign buyer can hold a condominium unit freehold, in their own name, as long as the building has not used up its foreign quota — 49% of the total floor area of all units. Where the owner has confirmed it, the listing tells you which side of that line the unit sits on, because it changes what you can do and what the unit is worth when you sell — and we will confirm it for any unit before you view.

Something not here? It is probably the question we answer most on the phone.

Homes we would buy ourselves.

Each card says whether the unit is foreign-quota where the owner has told us, and what the building is actually like to own in — the two things listing sites leave out.

What it costs to complete

The four numbers nobody mentions until transfer day.

Transfer costs in Thailand are usually negotiated between buyer and seller, so the split matters as much as the rate. We put the agreed split in writing before you pay a deposit.

2% Transfer fee Of the appraised value, paid at the Land Department. Usually split 50/50, but it is negotiable.
0.5% Stamp duty Applies when the seller has held the property more than five years, instead of business tax.
3.3% Specific business tax Applies instead of stamp duty when the seller has held it under five years. Normally the seller pays.
Varies Withholding tax Calculated on the seller’s position, not yours — but it often shapes the price you are quoted.

Rates are the usual case and are calculated on the Land Department appraised value, not always your purchase price. We will work out the exact figures for the specific unit before you commit, and a lawyer confirms them at transfer.

Start with a conversation, not a viewing.

Tell us the budget, whether you need the unit in your own name, and roughly where you want to be. We will tell you honestly whether what you want exists at that price — including when it does not.

  • We tell you the foreign-quota position of a unit before you view it, not at contract stage.
  • We put the cost split in writing before any deposit changes hands.
  • Where a question is legal, you get a lawyer, not an agent’s guess.
  • If what you want does not exist at your budget, we say so on the first call.
