Engage a reputable local property agent: They will provide expert assistance, communicate in Thai, be familiar with local areas, and save you time by finding properties that fit your criteria and price range. Seek legal advice: Before purchasing, understand the legal obligations and processes specific to Thailand. Your agent can usually provide recommendations for legal representation. Understand ownership options: Foreign nationals can own condominiums in their own name in Thailand. For land and house purchases, long-term leases, not exceeding 30 years initially, are commonly used. Perform land title checks: Ensure that the seller has clear and legal title of the land. Comprehensive background checks on the land are essential. Make a deposit: Once you’ve decided on a property, a deposit shows your intention to purchase. Be aware that deposits are generally non-refundable unless specified in the contract. Review contracts carefully: Purchase agreements should be inspected by a third party to ensure fairness. Your agent can provide guidance on this. Please note that rules and regulations can change over time.
