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.

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 and safely own property in Phuket:
• Condominiums: You can obtain full Freehold ownership directly in your name (provided the building’s 49% foreign quota is available).
• Villas and Land: The most common and secure method is a registered long-term Leasehold. This is fully protected by Thai law and guarantees your rights to the property (typically structured as a 30-year lease with pre-agreed renewals up to 90 years).
Our team provides full legal support to ensure your purchase is 100% transparent and compliant with Thai regulations.
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 if have.
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?
Generally, the tax burden for buyers in Thailand is very low, but it depends on the ownership type.
For Freehold (Condominiums):
By standard practice, the only fee buyers pay is a 1% Transfer Fee (which is half of the total 2% fee, shared with the seller). Other transaction costs, such as the Specific Business Tax (3.3%) and Stamp Duty (0.5%), are standardly the full responsibility of the seller.
For Leasehold (Condominiums, Villas and Land):
The government fees are even lower. The total cost to register a long-term lease at the Land Department is just 1.1% (1% Registration Fee + 0.1% Stamp Duty). This is usually split 50/50 between the buyer (lessee) and the developer/owner.
Note: While these are standard practices, terms can sometimes be negotiated differently, especially on the secondary market. We always ensure all tax structures are 100% transparent and agreed upon before you sign any contract.
Can I get a visa by buying property in Phuket?
Thailand offers several long-stay visa pathways for property investors, depending on your goals and the type of real estate you choose.
Popular options include:
• Investment Visas: Available for specific qualifying purchases (such as Freehold condominiums)
• Long-Stay Programs: Flexible options like the Thailand Privilege (Elite), LTR, and DTV visas
• Developer Perks: Select premium projects include visa support or packages for buyers
As the right visa strategy depends on your specific needs, please contact us for a consultation. We will help you secure both the right property and the appropriate visa solution for your stay
How can I ensure a safe property purchase in Phuket?
Work with a licensed agent like Mermaid Homes Co., Ltd., 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.
