How Does the Remote Property Purchase Process Work?

Buying property remotely in Phuket follows a systematic, legally approved process. Here’s how it works step-by-step:


Step 1: Define Your Goals and Select a Property

The first step is to clearly define why you are buying the property. Are you looking for:

  • An investment property for rental income or resale profit?
  • A holiday home for personal use or long-term residence?

Once your goal is clear, our property experts will help you select the perfect location, type of property (villa, apartment, or condo), and budget. You will have access to an extensive database of properties and exclusive options that match your needs.

How to Select a Property Remotely?

  1. Virtual Tours: View properties via 360° virtual tours and live video calls with our agents directly on-site.
  2. Detailed Property Reports: Receive comprehensive reports on the selected property, including market comparisons, area insights, and estimated ROI.
  3. Document Submission: Send a copy of your passport to reserve your preferred property.

Step 2: Reservation Deposit & Reservation Agreement

Once you have selected your dream property, you can reserve it by paying a reservation deposit and signing the Reservation Agreement. This step ensures that the property is taken off the market and reserved exclusively for you.

Key Points About the Reservation Agreement:

  • Deposit Amount: Ranges from 50,000 to 200,000 THB, depending on the property.
  • Deposit Payment: You transfer the deposit directly to the developer’s bank account.
  • Non-Refundable: The reservation deposit is non-refundable. However, it ensures the property is exclusively yours while the formal contract is being prepared.

Once the deposit is made, the developer sends you the Reservation Agreement via a trusted courier service (like DHL) for your review and signature.


Step 3: Sale & Purchase Agreement (SPA) & Payment Plan

With the reservation complete, the next step is to formalize the purchase with a legally binding Sale and Purchase Agreement (SPA). This contract outlines the details of the purchase, including payment terms, delivery dates, and your rights as the buyer.

What’s Included in the Sale and Purchase Agreement?

  • Payment plan, including the first installment (usually 30% of the total cost within 30 days of signing).
  • Construction timeline and completion deadlines (for off-plan projects).
  • Warranty terms and conditions.
  • Final transfer of ownership process at the Land Department.

Payment Terms and Options

  • Full payment upfront or payment in installments (developer-dependent).
  • Payments are made via bank transfers, cash, or cryptocurrency (BTC, ETH, etc.).
  • Our team can assist you with all payment-related queries to ensure smooth transfers and avoid any delays.

Step 4: Ongoing Construction Updates

If you purchase an off-plan (under-construction) property, you’ll receive regular updates on the progress. We provide you with images, construction reports, and completion timelines, ensuring you stay fully informed.


Step 5: Property Inspection & Handover

Once construction is complete, it’s time to conduct an inspection and handover. You have two options for this step:

  1. Personal Visit: Fly to Phuket and inspect the property yourself.
  2. Agent-Assisted Inspection: Our local team can conduct the inspection on your behalf, check for defects, and handle all necessary documentation.

During the inspection, the following checks are made:

  • Walls, floors, and ceilings for damage or defects.
  • Plumbing, electrical, and air conditioning systems.
  • Kitchen and bathroom fixtures.

If all aspects meet your expectations, the final handover document is signed, and you can officially claim ownership of the property.


Step 6: Transfer of Ownership

The final stage is the transfer of ownership at the Land Department of Thailand, where the property is officially registered in your name. This is done in collaboration with legal representatives.

Required Documents for Transfer of Ownership:

  • Copy of your passport.
  • Proof of payment (bank transfer receipts).
  • Sale and Purchase Agreement (SPA).

Note: If you prefer, our legal team can complete the process on your behalf through a legally binding Power of Attorney (PoA).

  2. Payment for Property: Typically, 30% is paid as the first installment, with the balance paid in installments or at handover.
  3. Taxes and Fees: Registration fees (2% of the appraised property value) and other government fees are typically shared 50/50 between buyer and seller.
  4. Legal Fees: Legal support, contract review, and Land Department services (optional).
