Why do foreigners need Thai property service?
Buying, renting, and selling a property in Thailand for foreigners may seem complicated, especially if you are new to Thailand’s property market. There are numerous things you need to learn and understand, such as Thai Property Laws, to avoid any conflicts. The Thaiger’s partners can help you get through the process easier and faster while ensuring that your investment is as safe as it can be.
Foreign Property Ownership in Thailand
There are three main ownership structures for foreigners who want to purchase property in Thailand.
Condo Freehold
Freehold means that you can own the property under the name forever. Since only condos can be owned freehold by foreign nationals, the freehold ownership title in Thailand is called Condominium Freehold Title.
Leasehold
Leasehold Title means you acquire the land on a leasehold basis from the land or building owner. The maximum lease permitted by Thai Law is 30 years, with the possibility for extensions for two times (total of 90 years lease). A leasehold title may not grant you full ownership, but it does offer you exclusive rights to use the property.
Through a Thai Company
You can own a property in Thailand by setting up and/or maintaining a Thai Company. It gives you more ownership rights than a leasehold title and provides a reasonable degree of indirect ownership and control. However, it sits in the “grey area” of the Thai legal system and is mostly not encouraged by the Thai government.

Mistakes and pitfalls to avoid when purchasing a property in Thailand
Purchasing a property in Thailand, especially for first-timers, can be tricky. It should be done with in-depth research and advanced planning. Remember, when it comes to property purchase, a mistake can be costly. Therefore, it is better to avoid making them in the first place.
1. Buying without a lawyer – While it is possible for you to buy property without a local lawyer, it can be very risky. Unless you are familiar with the local area, the language, and the Thai legal system, you should hire a local lawyer to help you with the process.
Contracts in Thailand can be different from what you are used to at home, and they may not adhere to international standards. Always make sure you sit down and discuss the process with a lawyer or a solicitor, as it is vital that you know the correct legal process of acquiring a property in Thailand.
2. No Title Search – Prior to signing a reservation agreement or placing a deposit, you have to do a comprehensive examination of the title deed recorded at the Land Department. It is vital to verify that the Seller has the correct legal title of the land before you agree on any contract. Doing a title search will also trace the land to its first possession. In addition, it will contain information regarding mortgages, liens, and leases on the title.
3. Not Conducting Due Diligence – Due diligence is required for any financial transaction to verify that it is a sound investment. Check the developer’s history and ask previous buyers to see if they are satisfied with the quality of the property. You may also hire a local lawyer to do it.
4. Not considering the surrounding area – You may fall in love with a property that you forget about the surrounding area, and when you finally live in it, you realize how much you don’t like the neighborhood. Therefore, always consider the surrounding area before you purchase a property. Find out if there’s a construction site around the area, how close it is to the main road access if there are any amenities nearby, and how safe the area is.
5. Purchasing without an estate agent – Since you are most likely not familiar with the local property market and potential risk, using a local expert’s service can help. They will be able to act as a conduit between you and the Seller. They will even obtain a fair price for you and act on your behalf while respecting your best interest.
The Thaiger offers you professional, quick, and efficient services for the best benefits on your property.
