Buyer representation
Buying in Phuket, with someone on your side
We run your search, organise the viewings, negotiate with the seller or developer and follow the file — with your independent lawyer — until the title is in your name at the Land Office.
TL;DR
What a buyer’s agent does for you in Phuket
A buyer’s agent turns your brief into a shortlist of homes that fit it, shows them to you, negotiates the price and terms, and keeps the file moving until the transfer. In Phuket that also means checking early whether a condo’s foreign quota is open, which structure a villa needs, and how the money must arrive from abroad, while your independent lawyer checks the title and the contract.
We do not replace a lawyer. The legal checks — title deed at the Land Office, permits, encumbrances, the contract — are done by an independent Thai lawyer you appoint. We gather what they need and follow the points they raise.
01
How it works, step by step
The same steps for a condo, a villa or a plot; what changes is the paperwork at each stage.
Step 1
Your brief
Budget, areas, type of home, bedrooms, freehold or lease, own use or rental: one conversation, by message, call or at our office in Choeng Thale.
Step 2
A shortlist
Homes from our listings and from owners and developers we work with, matched to your brief — with the price per m², rent and yield context from our market data.
Step 3
Viewings
We organise the visits, on one day or over a few, and talk you through each home, its area and what to check.
Step 4
Offer and negotiation
We present your offer to the seller or developer, negotiate the price and the terms — deposit, who pays the transfer costs, furniture, handover date — and confirm them in writing.
Step 5
Checks and contract
Your lawyer checks the title, the seller and the contract. We supply the documents and, for a condo, confirm the foreign quota and the FET form needed for the transfer of funds.
Step 6
Transfer at the Land Office
We set the transfer date with the seller and check the costs to be paid that day, so the transfer at the Land Office goes through as planned.
02
What we check before you commit
Before any deposit, these points decide whether a home can be bought the way you want.
03
