Prices Rise on Land For Sale in Koh Samui

The Thailand Treasury Department has revealed government estimates which overwhelmingly suggest that land for sale in Koh Samui in the southern part of Thailand has increased overall by a substantial amount, their figures give 85.79 percent over an average nationwide increase of 26.9 percent.

The Director General of the Thailand Treasury Department, Khun Puntip Surathin, announced the Samui land valuations for tax calculations during the period 2008 to 2011. The Thailand Treasury Department reviews land valuations every 4 years and evaluates well over 5 million plots in Bangkok and more than 3 million plots country wide. The Thailand Treasury Department reaches the figures reported by collating the information recorded in its extensive surveys and takes into account the exact use the particular land for sale in Koh Samui is being put too, the local environment and current economic conditions.

Prices Of Land For Sale In Koh SamuiIn stiff contrast to the southern Samui land prime cost hikes, the average Bangkok land price increased by just under 6 per cent. Still, the values that have been placed on land for sale in Koh Samui and land for sale nationwide differed greatly across various areas, for example Bangkok observed prices ranging from Bt 260 per square wah in Nong Chok to Bt 650,000 on or near to Silom Road.

Amongst the Thai provinces, land for sale in Hat Yai, Songkhla was put at a value of Bt 400,000 per square wah. Ranot district was one of the cheapest places in the country to buy a plot of land. Prices were also on the increase in and around the large Northeastern province of Issan, which price hikes estimated at a level of 22.97 per cent. A square wah in Khon Kaen’s Muang district cost Bt 200,000. However, there were again variations within the region with land in Sakhon Nakhon’s Song Dao district and Chaiyaphum’s Phakdi Chumpol district priced at at a lot lower rate.

Land in the North of Thailand increased to an average price of 15.43 percent with the most expensive land being in the Muang district of Chiang Mai, which was priced at Bt 250,000 per square wah. However, land in Doi Tao, Mae Chaem, which is in the same province as the northern city’s Muang district, was estimated to be worth a lot less.

In the Central Eastern region of Thailand, average prices of land for sale in Koh Samui rose 11.71 percent with the highest price rise nationwide recorded in the Muang district of Samut Prakan at Bt 140,000 per sq wah. The diversity within individual regions was again evident, with land in the Sangkhla Buri district of Kanchanaburi costing only a fraction of that in Samut Prakan.

How To Successfully Acquire Property In Thailand.

Living in Thailand is a dream for many foreigners who wish to escape the cold winters and the high cost of living in their home country. Thailand offers the foreigner many benefits including beautiful beaches, tasty food, friendly people, world class health care and inexpensive property. Many foreigners come here to retire and others come only part of year to enjoy what Thailand has to offer. For those to desire to long stay in Thailand, the ability to acquire property is an important issue. A substantial amount of their life savings is used to acquire this dream property. From the perspective of a Legal Advisor, I would like to share with you the process to successfully acquire property in Thailand.

Select a Property Agent

Since you will be looking for property in a foreign country you need expert local assistance. The agent knows how to communicate in Thai and they’re familiar with the geographical area. They can show you many quality properties in their inventory. Typically, a good agent will weed out the poor quality units. They want satisfied clients and they will avoid problematic developments. The agent will save you valuable time in selecting and showing you the property in your price range that meets your needs. I can honestly say that purchasing directly from the developer isn’t going to save you money versus buying it from agent. A quality property for sale in Thailand is generally offered at a fixed price by the Seller. The best benefit of using a property agent is that they will act as a liaison between you and the Seller. They will obtain a fair price for you and act on your behalf to represent your best interests throughout the entire process.

Legal Planning

Acquire Property In ThailandBefore you sign any deposit agreement or contract, you should sit down with a lawyer or solicitor to discuss the legal process. You need to know the correct legal process in Thailand for the foreigner to acquire property. Remember that you are spending part of your life savings to acquire this property and you must carefully plan your steps in the process. Siam Legal offers free legal consultation to potential property buyers. You should get the legal facts of the property and contract laws in Thailand before you deposit any money.

Legal Structure

In Thailand, a foreigner may only own a condominium in his/her own name. If the foreigner wishes to acquire land and build a house, he/she should obtain a long term lease on the land, typically 90 years (registered 30 years initially and two renewals of 30 years each). The foreigner should apply for the construction permit to build the house in their own name. This way the foreigner owns the house and has a secured long term lease on the land. The lease is written with the option to reassign to another person (if you sell), ability to sublease and with a purchase option (should the law change in the future to allow freehold ownership by the foreigner). Therefore, a lease is the most common legal method for the foreigner to acquire property in Thailand.

Title Investigation

A comprehensive examination of title deed recorded at the Land Department should be done. You need to verify that the Seller has clear and legal title of the land before you enter into a contractual agreement. The title search will trace the land to its first possession. This investigation will also verify the right to vehicle & utility access to your property; provide the residential zoning, environmental and planning codes in the area and show any registered mortgage or liens on the land. It is a good idea to make sure that you can build a structure on the land. Also you need to find out if you have legal access to drive your car to it. Don’t take the word of anyone who tells you it has been checked before. The lawyer conducting the title investigation will provide you a full report and a copy of the title deed in English language.

Due Diligence

Every financial transaction requires some sort of due diligence on behalf of the purchaser to verify that it is a sound investment. When you purchase shares of a company listed in stock market or a mutual fund you will generally research the profile and performance of the company or fund. The same is true when you purchase a property from a developer. You should check with the previous buyers to see if they are satisfied with the quality and time frame of construction. If you don’t have the time to spend on checking the history of the developer, a local lawyer near the development will know or can check the project, its directors and their reputation.

Deposit

When you feel satisfied with the property and it meets your expectations, you will be asked to make a deposit to show your good faith to continue the process. In return, the Seller will reserve the property for you and start the process by drafting the contracts for purchase. Unless you write specifically a "get-out" clause in the deposit agreement, for example "subject to clear title" or "subject to agreement on the contract terms," the money deposited is non-refundable.

Review of Contracts

Now you are ready to proceed to acquire the property upon verification of a clear title. The Seller will have the contracts prepared for you. Since the Seller will write the contracts, it is highly recommended that you have a lawyer or solicitor review the terms and conditions. First, you want protection for yourself should there be a delay in the property being built. A proper remedy should be stated in the contract. Second, the Seller will state a penalty if you are late with your payment. This should be fair and reasonable to both parties. Finally, your payment schedule should be reasonable and practical. Normally, a first payment is 25 percent. Thereafter payments are made on a progressive basis: 25 percent when the roof is on, 25 percent when the door and windows are secure; and 25 percent when the fixtures and fittings are completed. Your lawyer will make recommendations and these concerns will be given to the Seller for amendment of the contracts before you sign.

How to Pay

You will transfer funds into Thailand from overseas for the purchase. The funds transferred will be in foreign currency and converted by the Thai Bank to Thai Baht. A British couple for example will transfer Sterling from their London bank and wire to the bank in Thailand. The Thai bank will convert the funds into Thai baht and deposit it into local bank account. The Thai bank will issue a Foreign Exchange Form to confirm the transaction. The bank will only issue this form if the transaction is over $20,000 USD. When you wish to repatriate the funds back to your home country, you will need to show the Foreign Exchange Form and supporting documents. Your lawyer or solicitor in Thailand can act as an escrow agent and disperse the payments to the Seller per your instructions.

Construction Phase

The building of your dream house will take time for the construction. The rainy season in Thailand sometimes runs longer than normal which can delay the process. A good developer will keep you posted on the progress of your house construction. Photos should be provided by the Seller to you at each stage if you are not in the country. Your property agent should work for you in this time period to answer any questions you may have about the process or timeline for the completion of the construction.

Handover of Property

At the conclusion of the construction period, you will receive notification from the Seller that your property is ready for inspection. You or your representative will go to the property site and conduct a thorough inspection for any defect in construction or materials. Once you have accepted the condition of the property, you will go to the Land Department for the transfer or registration process. If you lease the land, the registration of the lease will take place. If you are not able to appear in person, a lawyer or third party can represent you by means of a Power of Attorney.

Warranty

Thai Government regulations provide for 5 year warranty on main structural parts. A one year warranty is generally offered in most contracts on component parts or accessories which are major parts of the building. A good developer will be quick to respond to requests for repair of any defects. Keep this in mind when you are asking your questions during the due diligence process.

Summary

Living in Thailand should be an enjoyable and relaxing experience. If you plan and prepare in advance for the acquisition your property you will be rewarded for your efforts. Those you take short cuts in the recommended process above will save some money but in the end it will not be worth it if something goes wrong. Property is a solid investment in Thailand as well as a great place to live while enjoying life in paradise.

Property For Sale In Thailand

Property in Thailand

One of the most picturesque countries of Asia, Thailand is a top-notch global tourist hotspot. Be it the coastal lifestyle or the mainland Thai locales, the entire country is full of amazing spots that allure you no end. Thailand’s major USP is tourism and the government knows this fact and has always promoted it on a global scale.

The response from tourists flocking to the country has been overwhelming and they seem to return to Thailand in abundance year after year. Political uncertainty notwithstanding, tourists tend to flock to the country on a year round basis. Though the country is not quite open to full foreign ownership of Thai property, there is no dearth of investors’ interest in the Thailand real estate.

The charm that is Thailand

thai propertyThe special Thai charm assumes much greater significance for the development of the entire Southeast Asia. The miles and miles of pristine sandy beaches, including the world famous Pattaya Beach, dotted with exquisite palms have a unique magical effect on the visitor, which makes it a favourite honeymoon destination for couples tying the knot!. Phuket and Koh Samui occupy the pride of place on the coastal regions Thailand.

Thai spa’s are world famous for their soothing, calming, and relaxing effects on a tired body. This makes the country one of the best getaway spots in the world to relax the tired mind, body, and soul. The Buddhist monasteries make for a profound experience and worth visiting at least once during your stay. Being the major Thai religion, Buddhism is all-pervasive in the lifestyle of people here. And it’s an open secret how much the Westerners are attracted towards Buddhism and the Buddhists.

Though not an absolute monarchy, yet Thailand has the longest reigning monarchy of the world since 1946. And this has been a constant cause of several coups in the country in the recent years. The country has also seen some of the worst natural disasters in recent times, like Tsunami, SARS, and Bird Flu. But all this has virtually zero effect on the minds of visitors in Thailand.

The capital Bangkok is just like any other advanced European city, with casinos, nightclubs, pubs, bars, cafes, restaurants, theatres, cocktail lounges, and massage parlours easily accessible. Thailand is also a haven for the shopping freaks with quality leather and electronic equipments available at much cheaper prices than Europe and the USA.

The regular flights to and from Thailands Airports connecting major European, American, Australian and Asian cities have spelled boom time for Thai tourism and economy.

Property Investment in Thailand

Unfortunately, Thai government is not so open when it comes to inviting global real estate players for developmental purposes. There is a bar on property investments by foreigners in the Thai real estate. As an individual, you cannot own any land, and even as a company, only the Thai partner is allowed to own land and that too with considerable amount of restrictions. The government is particularly strict in this regard post-2006 coup.

The freehold land might not be available for direct purchase by a foreign national, but you certainly can lease the property on a 30-years lease period. The foreign purchasers of condominiums may buy the freehold so long as total foreign ownership does not exceed 49% of the whole structure.

Investment in Thailands real estate should never be completed without soliciting the help of local expert adept in property transactions. This is because the Thai real estate industry is largely unregulated and you’ll hardly find any regulations governing real estate transaction in the country. While a lawyer is not a necessity in completing the contract, if the documents are in Thai, it’s better to hire either a good translator or a real estate expert.

The best property to invest in Thailand is the holiday resorts and other vacation property at prime tourist centres. A beautiful Thai villa can be yours for just 121K at ChiangMai, while a resort property is available for upwards of 50K. Condominiums in Pattaya are available at 30K onwards, while villas for sale in Phuket are heavily priced at a minimum of 480K.

These properties will ensure you get a commanding rental income throughout the year, and you can also enjoy an annual stay for a couple of weeks (or more!) in these accommodation sites.

It’s better to research the country for an appropriate and legally acquirable property because tourism potential notwithstanding, there can be lots of crooks and goons on the prowl waiting for the gullible foreign investors. Make adequate inquiries and research about the individuals and property you are dealing with. The lax political and administrative will has resulted into several criminal elements making Thailand their den. However, if you approach the real estate transaction with due diligence, chances are you’d be able to strike a good and legitimate deal.

Koh Samui, Thailand

August 12th, 2009 |

Koh Samui, Thailand continues to yield interesting options for would be property investors. With the majority of Thailand real estate being purchased with cash, as bank finance being almost impossible to obtain, the underlying valuation of property and land is being maintained, although due to most investors being foreign investors with a portfolio of assets, there are now some nice prospects for those with investment capital who are ready to consider increasing their property portfolio.

  koh samui,thailand

For the medium term this Island and top 10 holiday destination continues to be a favorite investment centre for major branded hotels and spa resorts. Conrad Hotel and the recently opened Ibis are amongst several being built as this tropical Island continues to grow in popularity. There are also several luxury villa resorts being planned by major property companies, seeing a bright future in the luxury destination market. Popular destinations such as Chaweng, Cheong Mon and Bophut continue to attract vacationers from around the globe, despite the recent political troubles in Thailand.

The current world financial crisis in late 2008 has gives property buyers opportunities as several sellers are forced to reduce price to make a sale in these difficult conditions. There are several options available, both new off-plan and resale properties that now are providing buyers with significant cost advantages. The market now coming up to the high season is quite flat, with bargain properties appearing as sellers discount in order to stimulate interest.

We are seeing discounts by as much as 40% off some resale units where the owner is seeking to quickly release the cash in a property. One specific example of this is a four bedroom newly completed villa in Bang Makham, originally for sale for 25mThai Baht (715k US$), this has been discounted for quick sale at a little over 15m Thai Baht (429k US$).

Developers are realizing that to maintain and promote sales they must offer special discounted prices to offset the strong advances of the Thai Baht against a host of currencies (example: The GBP has fallen from 63 to 51 Thai Baht since September 2008, a drop of almost 20%). Developers and creative marketers are also promoting by adding in some creative financing plans, including sometimes extended payment terms over 3 years. Others are giving longer terms of up to 10 year private finance deals with down payments of 40% - 50% of the full purchase price.

Examples of one specific special promotions is new pricing being introduced by Samui Emerald Condominium at Plai Laem, Koh Samui, where they are actively promoting their first class product through sale of leasehold units, a 44sqm fully furnished unit can be bought for a little over 50,000 GBP (2,640,000 Thai Baht) at the time of writing this article. The foreign buyer in this case would need to set up a Thai company, in order to purchase one of these special units.

Take a look at Koh Samui, Thailand, whilst the market has some interesting opportunities available for the savy investor.

Investing in Property in Thailand

When it comes to property investment, the world really is your oyster. You can look to buy property in your home country or look at some exciting markets overseas. For UK and European investors Thailand is definitely an exotic long haul destination that attracts holiday makers and business enterprise alike. Haven’t been there my self earlier this year, I can definitely recommend Thailand as a holiday destination that should be top of anyone’s "places to visit" list.

                  

What about buying property in Thailand, known as the "land of smiles". Here are some of the reasons why investing in property in Thailand is a good idea.

Thailand is already established as a sophisticated and extremely popular tourist destination that appeals to people around the whole world.
Retirement visas are available for foreigners over 50 years of age, according to financial means.

Thailand has good schools, an efficient health care system and it is seen as a friendly country in which to live or visit.

The climate in Thailand is fantastic. The country is blessed with warm weather for the whole year. Because of this, Thailand makes an ideal winter retreat.

The relatively undiscovered nature of Thailand means that property prices here remain far below those in the more established European markets, although they are growing consistently and strongly (around 10-15% a year). This consistent growth makes Thailand property a safer investment over some of the more rapid growth property markets that can be exposed to a boom and bust cycle.

It is the fastest growing market in Asia. Companies are choosing Thailand as their regional base in Asia.

Thailand attracts significant foreign investment, helping it to become one of the Asian economic leaders.

The new Bangkok International Airport (SBIA) is expected to further growth in the property markets and in particular the commercial property markets in eastern Bangkok. Of all the countries in South East Asia Thailand is one of the cheapest places to fly to. Thailand has strong business links with China and has an excellent infrastructure. Property is much cheaper in Thailand than elsewhere and an increase in overseas interest in property purchase has helped to create an economic recovery in Thailand. Rental potential is great, due to increased government spending luring growing numbers of tourists.

And finally there is no capital gains tax for private investors, and very low taxes.
Today, foreigners are actively welcomed and encouraged to invest.

Why Invest in Thailand?

Mysterious Thailand is Asia’s top tourist destination, offering a top class tourist industry at very affordable prices, a magnet for visitors, emigrators and property investors alike. In many major locations in Thailand, the local economy relies heavily on tourism and increased property investment in these locations is now the perfect news for domestic economic growth and good capital returns.

Natural and Cultural Factors

1. Once an exotic and expensive long haul destination, Thailand is now also a sophisticated tourist destination with a universal appeal, with holidays very competitively priced.

2. For thousands of people who have worked in Asia for many years, Thailand is a very attractive retirement destination, in which the living environment will feel familiar.

3. Retirement visas are available for foreigners over 50 years of age.

4. Thailand has good schools, an efficient health care system and it is seen as a friendly country in which to live or visit.

5. Thailand offers beautiful mountains, dense forests and stunning beaches, a tropical climate and cities teeming with culture and colour which draw visitors back each year.

6. Warm weather for winter holidaymakers. Peak season is between November and February.

Economic Factors

1. The relatively undiscovered nature of Thailand means that property prices here remain far below those in the more established European markets, although they are growing quickly and strongly (around 10-15% a year).

2. Thailand is the largest growth market in Asia. Some businesses choose Thailand as a regional base from which to keep their employees working all around Asia.

3. Thailand has recently attracted significant foreign investment. It has become one of the Asian economic leaders and is one of the fastest-growing economies in the region.

4. The completion of the Suvarnabhumi-Bangkok International Airport (SBIA) is expected to spur growth in commercial property markets in eastern Bangkok as well as make Thailand even more accessible by air. Thailand is one of the cheapest places to fly to in Asia.

5. The country has strong business links with China and has an excellent infrastructure as well as world-class facilities in many resort towns.

6. Property is much cheaper in Thailand than elsewhere and an increase in overseas interest in property purchase has helped to create an economic recovery in Thailand. Property investors who bought post 1999 have witnessed impressive capital growth, particularly in major cities.

7. Rental potential is great, due to increased government spending luring growing numbers of tourists.

8. No capital gains tax for private investors, and low ongoing taxes.

9. Today foreigners are regarded by the government as a big investment opportunity in Thailand.

Summary

Thailand remains less exploited in the property investment sector than many other areas and for this reason prices are far below those in more established European markets. However in many areas, prices are moving upwards at a rate of approximately 10-15% per annum.

There are undoubtedly some very attractive investment options to be found in certain locations of Thailand and, according to world experts, Thailand’s economy is undergoing a steady growth spurt. While improvements to Thai property investment provisions continue, a symbiosis with the tourist economy and people seeking a second home in the real estate economy, will allow mutual growth at unprecedented levels.
