Buying with House Estate is simple and takes six steps: reach out to us for a free consultation and full access to our catalogue; choose a property that fits your goals and budget; reserve it with a deposit of ฿100,000–200,000 to take it off the market; sign the purchase agreement covering price, costs and payment schedule; pay via bank transfer — from abroad for freehold, or locally for leasehold; and register ownership at the Land Department, where we handle the paperwork.

Yes. Foreigners can hold property in Thailand under two forms of ownership. Freehold gives full, unlimited ownership — you can sell, gift or bequeath it freely, though it costs more to register. Leasehold gives the right to use the property for a term (typically 90 years, renewable every 30), and is around 10% cheaper with lower fees.

For freehold, expect total taxes and fees of roughly 5–7% of the price: a 2% transfer fee (usually split with the seller), plus either a 3.3% tax on early resale or a 0.5% stamp duty, and a withholding tax calculated individually. For leasehold, it's simpler — about 1.1% total, typically paid by the buyer.

Condos charge a monthly common-area fee of around ฿50–80 per sq.m, plus a one-time sinking fund contribution of ฿600–800 per sq.m at purchase. Villas usually have a fixed community fee or one based on land size, with garden and pool upkeep billed separately.

Yes — the entire process can be done remotely and safely. We share full documentation, arrange live video tours, handle the reservation and contract by bank transfer, and can complete the handover and ownership registration on your behalf or via power of attorney.

There are no major restrictions on reselling in Phuket. We help set the right price with a market valuation, promote your property through our network, and manage the legal side of the sale from start to finish.

We offer full property management — rentals, maintenance, and repairs — backed by marketing that keeps occupancy high. You'll receive a clear financial report every quarter, so your investment stays well looked after even from a distance.

Non-residents (fewer than 180 days a year in Thailand) pay a flat 15% withholding tax, deducted automatically — no filing required. Residents can register for a Tax ID and pay on a progressive scale from 5% to 37%, with a 30% deduction for maintenance costs.

It depends on your goals. New builds offer better entry prices, 25–35% value growth by completion, more choice of layout, and interest-free instalments — though income is delayed until construction finishes. Resale properties let you see exactly what you're buying, start earning rental income right away, and often come furnished — but require full payment upfront.
