Property Guide

Foreigners who arrive in the “Land of smiles”, are mesmerised by how beautiful the Kingdom of Thailand is, and that surely in such an incredible place, full of such nice people, nothing can go wrong. Unfortunately, things often go wrong in Phuket, through either unfortunate circumstances, deliberate intentions or through the bereavement of the original lessee or land owner who made promises that the heirs refuse to accept. Buyers also need to be aware that many properties in Phuket are built illegally, and so the sale of the property at a later date, sometimes proves impossible.

Foreigners are not allowed to own landed property in Phuket. This is a truth we have to accept. A foreigner is a guest in the Kingdom of Thailand, but every foreigner can seek quality legal representation from ethical lawyers to make sure that all is done correctly, and that foreigners are adhering to either condominium laws, and/or, more importantly, land ownership laws enforced strongly by the Thai authorities. Legal advice from an experienced Thai Lawyer is essential. If any foreigners decides to purchase a property in Phuket, then they must ensure, without a shadow of a doubt, that everything is done according the laws of the kingdom.
