Can foreigners own real estate in Thailand?

Yes — foreigners can own condominium units in freehold within the 49% foreign quota in any given building. Villas and land are held via 30-year leasehold or a Thai limited company structure.

How are payments made for a condo purchase?

Funds must enter Thailand via a Foreign Exchange Transaction (FET) form to the developer’s or seller’s Thai bank account. We coordinate the FET trail with both banks so the title transfer at the Land Department goes through without delays.

Can I see the property without flying to Thailand?

Yes. We provide live video walkthroughs by WhatsApp/Telegram, send detailed photo decks of every unit and arrange power-of-attorney signings if you cannot travel. Most clients view 5–10 options before deciding.

What does More Property handle end-to-end?

Property selection, legal due diligence (title check, encumbrances, building license), purchase contract, FET coordination, title transfer at the Land Department, visa support and rental/management hand-off if needed.

Is there a commission for the buyer?

No — buyer commission is zero. Our fee is paid by the developer/seller side, which is the standard model in the Thai real estate market.

How long does a transaction take?

A resale condo with funds ready: 2–4 weeks. An off-plan unit: deposit immediately, full transfer at hand-over (commonly 12–36 months from booking). Villas with company-structure setup add 4–6 weeks.

Property in Thailand: buy, rent and new developments

It is a reliable and trustworthy company with excellent customer care.

Best team, super responsive. They helped, sorted out every issue, and even tried to turn down the chocolate bar we brought — we made sure they took it anyway :)

We bought an apartment through this company. Real professionals — everything was sharp, no surprises, all organized. Bravo!

They matched us with an apartment that fit our brief exactly and negotiated an extra discount from the developer. Paperwork was ready faster than we expected.

Great agency — they always find a solid condo option. Special thanks to Lucy — always reachable, gives every detail you need to know. Strongly recommend.

I rarely leave reviews, but for this deal I'd give 5+ and want to thank Lyudmila personally. She helped us close a non-standard sale of inherited apartments — lots of questions on paperwork, legal support, translations. Throughout months Lyudmila steadily moved the deal to completion. She and her team are excellent professionals and genuinely good people. 100% recommend. Huge thanks!
