FAQ

What you need to know about selling property in Thailand

How long does it usually take to sell a property in Thailand?

It depends on how the asking price compares with the market and on how unusual the property is. Standout homes in the most sought-after locations can sell quickly, while highly individual homes may need 3 to 6 months to find the right buyer. No time frame can be promised.

Can I sell my property while I am abroad?

Yes. Our brokers in Thailand can handle the sale for you while you are abroad, using a power of attorney and an escrow arrangement.

Is there a peak season for selling property in Thailand?

The high season, from November to March, brings many international buyers of high-end homes to Thailand.

How do I transfer the sale proceeds to my home country?

Foreign sellers can repatriate 100% of their net proceeds if they present formal evidence that the funds were originally transferred into Thailand from abroad.

What if my property is owned through a Thai company?

A property held by a Thai company can be sold either by transferring the property itself or by transferring the company's shares. Which route is used affects how the sale is taxed.

Should I renovate before selling?

Targeted cosmetic improvements help keep the value of the home and can make it easier to sell. Major structural renovations rarely pay back their cost.
