swissie Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Most major Thai-Banks have "Repo-Lists" somewhere on their "Homepages". Bargains available. - It's just that once you plow thru all the Legalities of "Foreighn-Ownership" of R/E Estate, it may serve to stifle your appetite for Thai R/E Estate greatly.

surreybloke Posted June 23, 2019 Author Share Posted June 23, 2019 I knew the concept of falang getting into property ownership is like staring into a minefield where fiscal suicide seems entirely possible. In my situation I am handing over a modest amount of dosh to a partner of over 10 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can buy it (and you don't need to say it is all your partners money - old wives tale No 525) Land in her name - you own the house - usufruct on the back of the chanote - simples ! DD ok. I just cannot remember seeing what looks like an agent in your average town in isaan. Maybe I need new specs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I need new specs. There are always the "Phoo Yai Baan's" (village chiefs). Among everything else, they know if a property is for sale. Best to have a Thai-National as a "Scout". You entering the scene as an interested Farang will increase the price of the property immediately. - As I mentioned above, Banks have "Repo-Lists". Especially in Rural-Aereas, bargains available. Banks will assist in legal-matters, involving the Land-Office as well. You will get clean Title. (As opposed to (some) "Real-Estate-Agencies" that are not accountable to no one). In short: By aquiring property off a "Repo-Situation" of a Bank can cut down on "red-tape" massively. (You will still have to bring your purchase into accordance with Thai-Law.) But that is another can of worms. - AND: You should know where (geographically) you would want to aquire property in Thailand. Rumor has it, that without a pre-determined geographical fixation, most Farangs end up buying a Condo in Pattaya. For better or for worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
