Buying a property in Thailand is actually much easier than in other countries. Land offices are efficient and the documentation required for ownership transfer is relatively simple to prepare. Although it usually takes up to 30 days, a purchase can be wrapped up much quicker, especially when a newly built property is being purchased. This is mainly due to the conditions in the Thai market. With a high proportion of cash buyers and much of the property in the Kingdom being relatively new, the process is generally less complicated than in other countries. However, due diligence is still advised. It is therefore sensible to undertake a complete check of the property being purchased.
