Can foreigners buy a house in Thailand?

Foreigners can buy houses in Thailand.

Thai law does not allow foreigners to buy land, only apartments are allowed. Only 49% of apartments in a project can be sold to foreigners, and the remaining 5 1% must be sold to Thais. Advertisements for the opening of new apartments can be seen everywhere in Bangkok, and the supply of apartments is very abundant.

Ling Shuo, a former Xinhua News Agency correspondent in Bangkok, introduced the five major risks of investing in buying a house in Thailand:

1, property management risk

In Thailand, the property management company is responsible for the later housing management. Once the property management company has problems, the apartment is likely to be "unfinished".

2, housing tax risk

Generally, the annual property management fee for a new apartment can be as high as 40,000 to 50,000 yuan.

3. Housing maintenance risk

Due to climatic reasons, the renovation that can last for 10 years in China can only last for three years in Thailand.

4. Lease risk

Many apartments are difficult to rent out, and there are policy risks.

5. The Thai government has changed rapidly, and the continuity of corresponding policies is poor.

Extended data

Matters needing attention in buying a house are as follows:

1. Building lighting

The most important thing in a house is lighting. It depends on whether there is a building in the south of the building you bought. It's best to buy a low-rise building without a building. After all, the higher the floor, the more expensive it is. Save some money if you can.

2. Supporting facilities

Attention should be paid to the supporting facilities around the community and the community itself, such as supermarkets, hospitals, schools, bank outlets, vegetable markets, school districts, commercial streets and bus lines. If that community has its own school district, so much the better, more expensive and very popular.

3. The power of the opener

The brand and strength of developers, small developers like to engage in some small moves, often wrangling, to ensure that some things are gone after buying, so we should pay attention to the credibility of developers.

4. The development potential of the location of the house

5. Room type

The more square the apartment, the better, which is more conducive to the placement of furniture and the layout of rooms, and it is also the reason why square apartments are popular.

6. Delivery process

When handing over the house, check whether the developer has implemented it one by one according to the agreement in the purchase contract and the delivery standard.
