The cost of living in Thailand is relatively low compared to other countries. It only means that you get more value for your money. The food is cheap; the transportation is cheap; almost everything is cheap. How is it to purchase some properties in Thailand like house and villa, condominium or land? Acquiring a piece of property in Thailand is a sure win whether you would want it for your vacation place, permanent residence or just a mere investment.

Condominium
The Real Estate industry in Thailand operates without regulation. If you consider getting a property in Bangkok, say a condominium unit, it would be best for you to have a Thai law firm to represent and protect your utmost interest when it comes to your investments. There are certain factors which you need to consider such as Thai Real Estate pitfalls, Thai property market outlook, and the cost of your property transfer taxes. These factors and more are sure to be taken care of when you seek the help of the Bangkok lawyers of Siam Legal International.

House and Villa
Owning a house in Thailand is but a great achievement. But having a house in Thailand is not as easy to do as purchasing a condo unit. There are some procedures to follow as a foreigner could not buy a house or villa right away. The foreign national has to register a Thai company first before he could purchase a real estate property. May sound a little complicated but it’s really not. Siam Legal International’s roster of competent lawyers is always available to give assistance regarding matters concerning real estate property acquisition.

Land
Real estate in Thailand has a broad definition that covers condominiums, houses and villas and land. When you want to know the size of the property or piece of land that you want to acquire, you would need to convert Rai into square meters. Rai is the Thai unit of measurement.

There are a number of ways in obtaining land in Thailand. A foreigner can marry a Thai and they purchase land as a couple. Another method is through a leasehold villa agreement. This method is considered to be simple and straightforward as opposed to purchasing land through a Thai Limited company where you have a number of shareholders who may have different interest from yours.
