Features of buying a house or a villa in Phuket.

As is known in Thailand, a foreigner can not own a land plot. Then, how to buy a house or a villa?

In case of buying a house or a villa, the land plot is drawn up in Leasehold. Leasehold is a long-term lease for up to 90 years, the form of ownership is actually equivalent to full ownership (FreeHold). The building, at the same time, can be issued in full ownership - Freehold. If the option of leasehold land registration seems insufficiently reliable to the buyer - the land can be issued for a company registered in Thailand.

Advantages of land registration in leasehold:
- easy, fast, and inexpensive registration
- low taxation in cases of a sale-purchase transaction

Disadvantages of land registration in the freehold:
- The cost of maintaining the company, although they are relatively small.
- Legally more complicated, long, and expensive registration.

At the same time, the registration of a land plot in a freehold is considered more reliable.

If you decide to register a land plot to a company name registered in Thailand, we recommend you to consult with an experienced realtor or lawyer first.

Is it dangerous to buy property in Thailand?

With a competent legal approach, risks in conducting real estate transactions tend to zero. If you decide to purchase a property in Phuket, especially if it is a secondary market property, you need to turn to a good lawyer. The lawyer can verify the purchased real estate for encumbrances and collateral, check the owner of the housing, draw up or verify a purchase agreement, register a property in the land department. That will protect you and your money.

Is the furniture included in the price of the house or villa?

If we speak about the primary real estate market, most often, the price includes only built-in furniture and air conditioning. The rest of the furniture is offered to be bought as a furniture package or independently. The cost of a package of furniture and household appliances ranges from 500,000 Baht to 2,500,000 Baht, depending on acquisition property.
In the case of buying real estate on the secondary market - almost always furniture is already included in the price of purchase.

Is it possible to build a house on your own?

Yes, you can build a house or a villa of your dreams. To do this, you will need to choose and purchase a land plot, make a house plan, and find a developer who will be able to translate your plan into reality.
It is better to apply for help in a real estate agency that will consult you about all details and help you to find a land plot.

Which villas are well rented out?

The best villas for rent are one-story villas with private pool and garden. The size of the garden and the pool is important, many customers prefer houses with a large garden and swimming pool, and are ready to overpay for it. But at the same time, they can sacrifice them if they really like the interior design and the furnishing of the villa.
Another important factor is the distance from the beach. If you buy a house as an investment, choose options with remoteness no more than 5 km from the beach. The best areas to buy, in this case, will be Nai Harn, Kata-Noi, Kata, Karon, Kamala, Bang Tao, Lian, Patong, Kalim.
