PURCHASING REAL ESTATE IN THAILAND
Information and legal advice
Buying a Condo
Foreigners are allowed to own condo units legally - registered in their own name. The money for the property purchase has to be transferred from abroad into Thailand. You always need a legal bank confirmation form (Tor Tor 3) for this money transfer. The person/ persons selling the unit have to present the documents from the condo management, confirming that the maintenance fee for the traded unit is paid up to date. Of course our experienced staff always stands by your side to support you with all steps of the purchasing process - with the sellers, with the Thai banks, and with the local land office.
Buying purchasing contracts - units in condominium buildings under construction
The real Prime Units in new developments usually are sold out quickly - always with the legal right to resell the purchasing contract later on to an interested buyer. Therefore you can buy existing purchasing contracts - with the convenient installment plans. With this kind of contract purchasing you will take over all legal rights and duties of the owner immediately. So with PATTAYA FOREIGNER SERVICE you still can find real Prime (even Ocean Front Corner) Units in View Talay (project 3, 5, 6, 7, 8), the great T.W. Wong Amat Condominium, the La Royale Condominium, the Northshore Condominium, the Hyde Park Condominium, the Pattaya Heights Condominium, the Park Lane Condominium ("One Million Baht Condominium") and of course in the breathtaking Northpoint Condominium too - even officially all real Prime Units in the above mentioned condo buildings are definitely sold out for a long time already. Both offices of our PATTAYA FOREIGNER SERVICE are specialized in contract trading too - contact us
Transfer of Ownership
The transfer of every single property ownership has to be done with the local land office. By law, you do not need an attorney of law for this procedure. The buyer and seller have to sign the required documents in the land office. The buyer then pays to the seller the agreed purchasing amount for the current property -by check or cash- and the owners name in the current Chanod will be changed by the responsible officer of the land office immediately. The transfer of ownership usually can be done within few hours. The transfer of ownership (government fee) is only to be paid once. There are no other property taxes, or any additional government expenses to be paid later for your new purchased property (home or condo). Of course our experienced staff is ready to assist you with this procedure from A to Z.
Long term Rentals
Please find your high class rental with us too - but of course for long term contracts only. Condos, Villas, Businesses - for THB 25.000/month up and for rental periods of 6 month up. We bring the people and their new homes together - even on long term rental base too.

Buying Land or House
All foreigners in Thailand are 100% not allowed to own land in their own name. There are no legal exceptions from this very strict rule in the Kingdom of Thailand. But all foreigners are able to be legal long term users of any property in Thailand. These contracted Long Term Usages can be registered legally within the Title Deeds. Therefore foreigners are able to act like the owner - without really being the legal owner. We have other legal constructions too, which are able to bring you into an equal position. Please call us for your individual consultation about the complicated legal situation. Of course we are prepared to inform you about all the different Thai legal solutions.
The Land Title or Deed (Chanod)
The Chanod is the legal title deed (land paper) in the Kingdom of Thailand, and this official document is used to proof the legal ownership, and all the third party rights of the property. The legal owner(s), the correct size of the property, and third party rights (leases and debts) are always documented on the back side of the Chanod of any single property in Thailand. Before any single purchase of a property, a lawyer or an experienced agent should check the Chanod for you 100% properly - to protect you yourself against any losses or frauds perfectly.
Construction and Renovation
We act together with our experienced contracted builder under European and Thai management. Therefore we are happy to be able to guarantee for always highest European standards, most tastefully interior design and best equipment, of course for very reasonable prices.
