Foreigner financing to buy land or condo

Siam International Legal Group Co., Ltd. Thailand, provides all the essential information for people who want to buy land or a condo in Thailand.

Q: Can a foreigner own a condo in Thailand?

A: Yes, foreigners can own in their name up 49 percent of the aggregated unit space of the condo development (some exceptions can apply). This is known as “freehold” ownership. It is important that the condo developer properly register the units with the government. The first thing you will want to make sure prior to paying any deposit is that your purchase will not result in this percentage being violated. The management of the condo association should be able to verify this information. If the condo is not finished, you should pay particular attention to the purchase agreement – in most cases, developers will look for you to pay up to 90 percent of the costs prior to the completion of the project. Remember the economic downturn in 1997? This turned out to be a horrible experience for buyers as developers simply went bankrupt and investors lost their down payments with little to no recourse.

Q: Can a foreigner own land or property in Thailand?

A: No, foreigners are restricted from owning land in their own name except in certain special circumstances. The two most commonly used alternatives are as follows:

Leasing: Thai law allows a 30 year maximum lease with the option of renewal.

Company ownership: A foreigner is allowed to own minority percentage of a Thai company. This company can hold the land or property. There are ways to structure the company and prepare the Articles of Association to safeguard the minority shareholder.

Q: How can I finance the land or condo purchase?

A: Our firm now offers assistance to the foreigner who desires to finance his/her purchase. Application is made with the Singapore branch of the Bangkok Bank.

Q: What properties can be financed?

A: 1. Freehold condominium, 2. Freehold land or villa, 3. Leasehold land or villa.

Q: What are the terms of the financing?

A: Up to 70 percent of the purchase price to the maximum loan amount of S$1,000,000 or equivalent amount. Repayment of principal and interest is by monthly installment. The loan tenure is a maximum of 10 years.

Q: What services can your law firm provide to assist me?

A: Our licensed lawyers will assist you through the legal process to acquire property in the Kingdom. Our Property Legal Services Package offers you the following service:

1.

Conduct due diligence search at Land Department to check status of properties, legal ownership, lien or encumbrance, or mortgage, and report findings

2.

Prepare draft and review Sale and Purchase Agreement (if SPA is from developer, we will perform the review)

3.

4.

5.

Register the Title deed, ownership transfer at Land Department

We can also assist you in preparing your contracts and agreements in both English and Thai languages.

Q: Do I have to travel outside Thailand to obtain financing?

A: Yes, the buyer must travel to the Singapore branch of Bangkok Bank to sign the necessary loan documents. Siam International Legal Group is the only Thai law firm to offer you the services of a Thai license attorney stationed in Singapore to help you through this process.

Q: Where can I visit your office?

A: Siam International Legal Group is Thailand’s largest legal service network with offices in Bangkok, London, Las Vegas, Phuket, Chiang Mai and Pattaya. We are open 24 hours everyday of the week.

Looks like i've got to lower my security to get this to work - i have disabled all activex controls through ie as it is one of the biggest security risks.

Does anyone have the link the document is at, so i can go direct ?

Also I wonder if i email siam direct and they let me know what details they want from me i can email back and they send me a link to the doc ?

What do people who've got the doc think of it ?
