This post is an extract of the book “How to Safely Buy Real Estate in Thailand”. It can be purchase on Amazone or Itune. From experience, we know that most problems occur when buyers purchase property “off plan[1]“. Whether or not the transaction has a favorable outcome will depend solely upon one single factor: Did the buyer purchase from a reliable developer or not? Truth be told, purchasing off plan is no more dangerous when purchasing offshore than in your home country, as long as you are purchasing from a reliable developer who operates in the country where you are purchasing.

There has been quite a buzz in various forums about the problem of the cancellation of long term agreements made between spouses in Thailand. Indeed many foreigners who married a Thai wife in Thailand will at some point in time purchase a piece of land in the name of the wife and build a house on it for retirement or vacation purpose. And they will for security purpose register a 30 years lease agreement with the Land Department.

If you are a regular reader of my posts you already know that wrote a few posts on the issue of “foreign investors that have purchased land through a company with Thai Shareholders that may be deemed nominees”You may also know that I believe that this is a big messy situation that at one point will need to be resolved but that as I have already pointed a few times that “going after the foreign “Scapegoat” is not a satisfying answer at all. Note that my belief does not result from the fact that I’m a foreigner but based on the fact that if you look at the whole picture creating a Scapegoat in fine the “foreign goat” (and/or his Thai goat wife) is not a satisfying answer to the big mess that was collectively created”

Buying a home abroad, whether as the realization of a dream or as an investment does require a bit of savvy and of common sense. This will be especially the case if you are purchasing a property which has yet to be built. This test was designed for Thailand but can be used in any other country as the premises when buying off plan are always the same
