Buying Property in Phuket: The Step by Step Process

Buying property in Phuket is straightforward when you know the steps. Here is how a typical purchase works from first viewing to handover.

1. Define your goals and budget

Decide whether you are buying to live, to holiday or to earn rental income, and which areas fit. Our area guide is a good starting point.

2. View and shortlist

We arrange viewings of properties that match your brief, in person or by video, and help you compare options on price, location and ownership structure.

3. Reserve the property

Once you choose a property, a reservation agreement and deposit take it off the market while the paperwork is prepared.

4. Due diligence

A lawyer checks the title, ownership, permits and any encumbrances, and confirms the ownership structure is sound. This step protects you and is strongly recommended.

5. Contract and payment

You sign the sale and purchase agreement and make payments per the agreed schedule. For overseas buyers of condos, funds are usually transferred into Thailand with the correct documentation for registration.

6. Transfer of ownership

The transfer is registered at the Land Office, taxes and fees are settled, and you receive the title or registered lease. The property is yours.
