Buyers Guide – Completed Properties
Buying completed properties can be new properties purchased directly from a builder or developer or properties purchased in the secondary market, which have had previous owners and occupants.
WHAT TO LOOK OUT FOR
OWNERSHIP STATUS
When buying property in Thailand it is fundamental to know the legal status of the property you are buying, i.e. is the property for sale on leasehold or freehold basis.
LAND TITLE
It is recommendable for foreigners only to deal with land that is Chanote or Nor Sor Sam Gor land.
STAND ALONE PROPERTY OR PART OF A MANAGED DEVELOPMENT
The question of buying a stand alone property or a property that is part of a managed development typically is only relevant when buying houses.
The main advantage of buying a property within a managed development is that of security, maintenance and upkeep of common areas.
When buying a stand alone property the main disadvantage is the absence of security and similarly there is no one at hand for maintenance and upkeep of gardens, pool cleaning etc. This is of particular relevance if the house is a secondary/holiday residence.
PAYING FOR YOUR PROPERTY
Due to the currency exchange controls in Thailand and the requirements related to the purchase of property by foreigners some specific procedures for remitting money to pay for the property needs to be followed. To follow the specific requirements outlined below is highly important as it influence the ability to transfer money out of Thailand upon re-sale.
Foreigners which are not residents in Thailand need to bring foreign funds into Thailand by either transferring into a bank account in Thailand or use a foreign credit card to withdraw money in Thailand. When transferring foreign currency into Thailand it is important to state the purpose of the transfer “to purchase property in Thailand”.
When foreign currency is remitted to Thailand for the purchase of property, the primary evidential document is the “Foreign Exchange Transaction Certificate” which is issued by the receiving bank for transfers exceeding 50,000 USD.
Buyers Guide – Off Plan Projects
Off-plan property is a property that has yet to be built as opposed to buying a completed property. This basically means buying a promise of a property.
It is common for property developers to commence construction of a project and still refer to the property as off-plan.
Off-plan property can consist of both condominium and house developments. However the condominium market is by far the biggest in the Pattaya region at the time being. For this reason the information below relates to buying an off-plan condominium unit.
BENEFITS OF BUYING OFF-PLAN PROPERTY
The principal benefit of purchasing an off-plan condominium unit is that you get a brand new condo just by signing a contract and without further involvement in the construction process.
Another benefit is that off-plan condos typically are sold at a discounted price to the market value of already completed condominium units. It is common practice that property developers increase the price of the units during the construction period.
The initial capital requirement to secure an off-plan condo is relatively low. Even that the payment plans varies from developer to developer it is standard to only pay a reservation fee and a small deposit upon contract signing. The remaining payments become due according to the construction stages. The optimal payment plans have the largest amount due upon completion.
RISK OF BUYING OFF-PLAN PROPERTY
All forms of investments come with a certain degree of market risk. The primary risks described below as well as tools to mitigate these risks.
Market risk is the risk of market prices are going to fall. The primary driving force of the property prices in the resort areas of Thailand are related to foreigners and the development in the global economy. Though Thais has been increasing there investments in the resort areas, especially in the Pattaya area.
When buying an off-plan property the basic risk stems from the fact that, due to the nature of off-plan, that you enter into a contract without having been able to view and evaluate the finished product. The decision to buy an off-plan property is often based on advertised perspectives in magazines and on the internet. According to the Condominium Act property developers are obligated not to misrepresent the condominium, wherefore the Condominium Act offer purchasers of an off-plan condominium unit some consumer protection.
However the main risk of buying off-plan property lies in the risk of non-completion. Non-completion covers the situation where the developer is not able to complete the property due to inadequate capitalization of the developer. The risk of non-completion is to some degree present for all off-plan investments regardless of the size of the developer. However the risk of non-completion is much lower for larger enterprises with a solid track record than for a first time developer.
As mentioned the risk of non-completion relates to inadequate capitalization of the developer. From the view of the property developer selling off-plan property before construction has commenced is a way to finance the construction. This means that the capital requirement for the developer is significantly reduced. Further they will often be able to present the sale record to a bank to borrow money. In fact many developers advertise that a project is “backed” by commercial banks.
When buying into off-plan property in Thailand it is also worth considering the currency exchange rate risk. When buying off-plan property the first payment is paid when making the reservation and the last payment when the construction is completed. The construction period for condominiums often takes 2-3 years. In this period the exchange rates can fluctuate a lot and can affect the final purchase price in Thai Bath.
MITIGATING RISKS
Above has the main risks of buying off-plan properties in Thailand been outlined. Below follows a description of how the risks can me mitigated. Summarized the risks are:
Market risk
Completed property differ from expectations
Risk of non-completion
Currency exchange rate risk
MARKET RISK
Ideally everyone wants to invest when the property prices are expected to rise. In reality it is impossible to predict the future price development with a high degree of certainty. When considering the market risk it is important to keep in mind that people investing in resort areas mainly buy properties as a second home, vacation property or rental property. Baring in mind that most investors are foreigners the markets depends to a large degree on the development in the global economy rather than the Thai economy.
COMPLETED PROPERTY DIFFER FROM EXPECTATIONS
As mentioned above the developers of condominium are bind by the Condominium Act to deliver the promises made in marketing materials. However it is often worth the time of paying attention to material specifications to make sure that the quality will live up to the expectations. The level of material specifications differ from developer to developer. High end developers will usually emphasize the quality of the materials. It might also be worth the time viewing a developers other projects to assess the quality.
RISK OF NON-COMPLETION
The risk of non-completion is the most significant risk with the highest economical impact. Non-completion can be due to multiple reason such as; inadequate capital, poor financial planning, poor management, failed compliance with building regulations and insufficient sales.
Therefore it is recommendable to perform due diligence of the developer and the project before signing the purchase contract. A thorough due diligence include an assessment of; the developers financial position, reservations and sales statistics, the track record of completed projects in Thailand, the developers advisors, land titles and ownership structures.
EXCHANGE RATE RISK
As currencies fluctuate on a daily basis the risk is that the currency in which you hold money weakens against the Thai Bath during the construction period. The simplest way to avoid the risk is by transferring the full amount to a Thai bank account. Further all banks offer financial instruments to “lock” an exchange rate.
PAYING FOR YOUR PROPERTY
Due to the currency exchange controls in Thailand and the requirements related to the purchase of property by foreigners some specific procedures for remitting money to pay for the property needs to be followed. To follow the specific requirements outlined below is highly important as it influence the ability to transfer money out of Thailand upon re-sale.
When foreign currency is remitted to Thailand for the purchase of property, the primary evidential document is the “Foreign Exchange Transaction Certificate” which is issued by the receiving bank for transfers exceeding 50,000 USD.
Legal Matters – Ownership
It is often heard from foreigners in Thailand that Thai property law is complicated but in reality Thai property law is quite clear in regards to foreign ownership.
Foreigners can own “freehold condominiums”, buildings and structures (such as houses). Foreigners cannot own land but can take leases on land.
Where things get complicated is in understanding the different methods and legal structures used by lawyers to get around the strict foreign ownership regulation. Beneath will follow a description of the different methods employed to get around the foreign ownership regulation, but let us first get the general terminology defined:
“Freehold” – Freehold is the ultimate ownership interest that can be held in property and represents absolute ownership.
“Condominium” – A condominium is a building that is divided into units where each unit represents a condominium unit. Ownership of a condominium unit gives a co-ownership of the common property (condominium). It is in this way that the expressions “condo” and “apartment” differs in Thailand. When referring to apartment in Thailand it generally means that there is no co-ownership of the common property.
“Condominium freehold” – Condominium freehold is an expression used to refer to the 49% of a condominium building that can be owned in foreign name.
“Leasehold” – Leasehold is an interest in land or any type of property but where the ownership is not transferred.
LEGAL PROPERTY OWNERSHIP
CONDOMINIUM FREEHOLD
Buying a condominium freehold unit is the easiest and most favored by foreigners to acquire direct property ownership in Thailand, as they can be hold directly in foreign name and the process of buying is clear and straightforward.
A condominium is regulated by the Condominium Act and according to the Condominium Act 49% of the registrable area of a condominium can be allocated to foreign purchasers.
FREEHOLD
Thai property law does not allow for foreign individuals or foreign companies to own freehold interest in land, except for a few exceptions which will not be described here as they are not relevant for the usual investors in Thai property. Foreigners can get indirect ownership of the land through a Thai company or through leasehold ownership. These two forms of ownership are described below.
Foreign individuals and foreign companies can hold freehold ownership of condominium units, as described under Condominium freehold and building and structures on land, such as houses.
LEASEHOLD
A leasehold agreement is a legal interest that can be registered as a lien on the property title deed and secures an exclusive possession and use right. There is no restrictions on the foreign ownership of a lease hence it is possible for foreigners to register the lease directly in a personal name, or in the name of a Thai or foreign company.
The Land Department in Thailand currently only allows leases with a maximum period of 30 years to be registered. However they do allow for private agreements to contain renewal options for another 30 + 30 years so it in fact becomes a “90-year lease”.
The renewal clauses are governed by the legal principal “privity of contract” and hence only binding for the parties who signed the contract. This could raise a potential problem if the freehold land is sold or transferred and the Supreme Court of Thailand has ruled that only the legally registered leases will transfer and follow the title deed to the new owner.
Due to the potential problems that can arise if the freehold land is sold or transferred it is important to create a protective leasehold structure.
Further it should be noted that lease contracts are personal in nature, which means the contract terminate upon the death of a lessee. Therefore it is important to include a succession clause stipulating that lessee’s rights and obligations will be assigned to the lessee’s heirs.
LEASEHOLD WITH OPTION TO PURCHASE THE FREEHOLD LAND
Due to the fact that only the first 30-year lease of the 30+30+30 year leasehold structure is registrable on the title deed a leasehold agreement with an option to purchase the freehold provides the purchaser with a greater security and control over the freehold land.
With a clause to purchase/transfer the freehold land the purchaser has the ability to control who becomes lessor and therefore will be able to transfer the freehold land to himself should the Thai ownership regulation change in the future or to any entity over which he has control.
In practice upon entering into the leasehold agreement the lessor hands over the title deed to the lessee and provides lessee with a Power of Attorney to allow lessee to transfer the freehold land ownership to any entity designated by the lessee at any time.
THAI LIMITED COMPANIES
As Thai law does not allow foreigners to own a direct freehold interest in land it has been a common accepted method to use a Thai Limited company as a vehicle for holding freehold land and all other kind of properties in Thailand. The reason why this is possible is that a Thai Limited company commands the same legal rights as a Thai citizen.
However it is not possible for foreigners to hold more than 49% of the registered capital of a Thai limited company and there must be more Thai shareholders than foreign shareholders. Therefore it is important to understand the crucial difference between ownership and control.
The Thai shareholders will own the majority of the registered capital (51%) but the foreigner will control the company through voting rights. Technically this is done by dividing the company’s share capital into two different classes which each has different voting rights and where the foreigner holds the preference shares. By doing this it is possible to get 100% control over the company.
By having 100% control over the company also means that the controlling shares have superior rights in relation to dividends and distribution upon liquidation of the company.
The setup procedure of a Thai Limited company is a relative simple procedure and with low setup costs.
Legal matters – Taxation
It is the fewest people that consider taxation upon sale when investing in property in Thailand. However while Thailand doesn’t technically have a tax on “capital gains” it is taxed like any other form of income.
Depending on the ownership structure capital gains are taxed through personal or corporate income taxes.
Therefore, as some ownership structures are more tax efficient than others upon sale you risk giving up a significant part of any capital gains in taxes. It is advisable to ensure professional advice already at the acquisition stage.
In the following is described the taxation upon sale which is based on the interplay between legal ownership (leasehold, freehold, condominium freehold) and the ownership structure (personal name, Thai company, foreign company).
TAXES UPON SALE OF LEASEHOLD PROPERTY
The transfer procedure and tax consequences upon sale are different for the three primary forms of leasehold ownership. Below is outlined the consequences upon sale for the ownership forms; personal name, Thai company and foreign company.
PERSONAL NAME
A lease is considered sold/transferred when the lease is registered in the name of the new owner. Upon transfer of ownership the land office will collect 1% in registration fee and 0.1% in stamp duty. The fees are calculated based on the appraised value and not the sale price. The appraised value is a government assessed value which is used to determine the tax amount that must be paid. The appraised value is often lower than the actual sale price.
Any capital gains based on the government assessed value is subject to personal income tax, which currently is taxed at a rate ranging from 0% – 37%. A standard deduction for expenses is allowed against the appraised value with a maximum of 50% for ownership of 8 years more.
THAI COMPANY

If the lease is sold out of the company the transfer fees applicable to the lease will apply. This means 0.1% stamp duty and 1% registration fee has to be paid at the land office. Since the seller is the company any capital gains will be subject to corporate income tax, which is taxed at a rate ranging from 0% – 20%
FOREIGN COMPANY
If a lease is hold through a foreign company the taxation depends, as for a Thai company, on whether the lease is sold by selling the property out of the company or the shares in the company holding the lease is sold.
