Une agence professionnelle et Katie à était remarquable ! Toujours à votre écoute et disponible à n’importe quel moment, Je recommande les yeux fermés 🙂🙏
I had an exceptional experience working with this real estate agency. From our very first conversation, the team was warm, friendly, and genuinely committed to helping me find the right home. They were consistently punctual for every meeting and viewing, which made the entire process smooth and stress-free. What stood out most was their hands-on support at every step. They organized and accompanied me to multiple property viewings, personally driving me to different neighborhoods and taking the time to explain the pros and cons of each option. I never felt rushed or pressured—only supported and well-informed. I highly recommend this agency to anyone looking for a friendly, reliable, and attentive real estate partner.

A friend recommended that we reach out to her, she quickly helped us find a clean and beautiful place in our price range nearby, we love it!

Frequently Asked Questions
Get clear answers on our services and the Phuket buying/selling process.
. Can foreigners buy real estate in Phuket?
Yes, foreigners can legally purchase condominiums in Phuket with freehold ownership, provided that no more than 49% of the total project is foreign-owned. For land or villas, foreigners typically buy through long-term leasehold agreements or set up a Thai company to hold the land.
What type of real estate can foreigners own in Thailand?
Foreigners can directly own condominiums in their name. For land or standalone villas, they typically use 30-year renewable leasehold contracts or Thai companies.
How much does property cost in Phuket?
Prices vary widely. Condos start around THB 2–5 million, while luxury villas can exceed THB 30 million. Location, view, and developer reputation significantly influence pricing.
Is Phuket real estate a good investment?
Yes. Phuket offers high rental yields, especially in tourist-heavy areas. Properties in beachside locations often see 5–8% rental ROI annually, plus potential long-term capital appreciation.
What are the property taxes in Thailand for buyers?
When buying, expect transfer fees (2%), business tax (3.3% if selling within 5 years), and stamp duty (0.5%). These are usually split between buyer and seller, but this can be negotiated.
Can I get a visa by buying property in Phuket?
Buying property alone doesn’t grant a visa, but Thailand Elite Visa, LTR, and DTV programs offer long-stay options for property investors. Some developers also bundle visa perks for high-end projects.
How can I ensure a safe property purchase in Phuket?
Work with a licensed agent like Mermaid Homes Phuket, conduct full due diligence, verify land title deeds, and hire a reputable lawyer to review contracts before signing anything.
What is the difference between leasehold and freehold in Thailand?
Freehold gives full ownership (available for condos only to foreigners), while leasehold means long-term rental rights (typically 30 years, renewable). Villas are usually sold as leasehold to foreigners.
