Buying a Condominium in Thailand

- The condominium is issued with a title deed same as a strata title
- Owners may use the title deed as collateral in Thailand
- Buying a condominium can be more cost-effective than owning a home with land.
- You can easily rent it out, on account of its location and size.
- Reselling a condominium is quicker and simpler as compared to a land and a house in Thailand.
Buying a Villa or a House
Buying a villa or a house comes with the following benefits.
- Larger livable space
- Higher privacy levels
- Owners enjoy appreciation on the house
- A complete control over the maintenance of the house
Of course, buying a villa or a house isn’t as quick and simple as buying a condominium is. Some people register a Thai company to hold ownership, as once the Thai company is registered; they use the limited company to hold the land. But, our Thai lawyers recommend the following legal structures.
- Superficies
- Lease
- Usufruct.
Buying a Piece of Land in Thailand
Real estate in Thailand can be classified in condominiums, houses, villas, and land. One method to own land is through a leasehold villa investment. This is because it is simpler and quicker. Foreigners can achieve full interest on a lease in Thailand for the registered period. This is different from purchasing it through a Thai limited company, wherein there are a lot of shareholders with different interests. Moreover, a foreign national can marry a Thai and buy land as a couple, however, provided that the necessary legal provisions are observed.
