Property
in Thailand is being bought up by Chinese as at 2019 but many in Bangkok are unfinished or have problems with the Banks. However high end condos are selling for exorhitant prices now in Bangkok. But in Chiangmai condos for retirees especially for foreigners to buy condos allows 100% ownership & there are many for sale at reasonable prices. Like anything you buy do your homework and never buy off a plan that is yet to be built. Litigation costs & is drawn out so be careful not o make mistakes. If in doubt ask us as FREE.

To date foreigners may
own
- a unit in a registered Condominium
- a
building (as distinct from its land)
- a
registered leasehold of up to 30 years for all types of titled land
(and/or buildings).
- a company can purchase land and buildings 49% foreign shareholding but
must carry out business as well.
- more than 40% of a condominium unless done in Company form.
- 49% max of land/ buildings in a company
- 1 Rai of land if they invest 40m baht in Thailand.
- Usufract Interest or (sidhikepkin) allows a foreigner to have
temporary ownership to certain things in Thailand. Its really limited to
30 years but can be renewed just like a lease.
However, a 30-year lease can be a good idea
with right to renewal to a freehold purchase, or a Thai company (7
PARTNERS) can be established with Thai majority shareholders. Foreigners
own 49% shares in the company buying land but we can assist you to make sure your
company is safeguarded. Remember if you need advice check first before
you commit yourself.
FOREIGNERS BUYING
YOUR CONDO IN CHIANGMAI:
--SRITANA2 Condo is a good choice
After reviewing many condo buildings in Chiangmai for various reasons like access to hospitals, floor access; security; foreigners help with reporting online to Immigration; internet access; wheelchair access, 8 floors of secure car parks; motorcycle rental, no over the top fees; no hidden costs; Supermarket; airport, downtown, dept stores and Banks plus the management who helps and condo complex itself our pick is SRITHANA2 off Huay Kaew Road,
NOT IN SRITANA2 CONDO:
The downside of many condos is Bad management & no committee in place. Incomplete internal works & hidden fees can be a problem. Some condos have underneath parking which can flood esp near the river but also in areas with unsuitable drainage. Check security & CCTV plus entry cards for owners and most of all talk to other owners. Do not buy condos if they have short term rentals that renters create noise so check management.
WHO STAYS AT SRITHANA 2 CONDO:
We have an assortment of foreigners and retirees from Japan; USA, UK, Norway; Australia, China and NZ to Thais and it is well run with an entry card system. We have x2 wheelchair bound owners from USA staying here. All the parking spaces have top security with 2 entrances that are locked at night from outsiders who were using the condo entrance as a short cut. In 2018 this has now stopped and security on both entrances at night. There are outside tables and well as tables on the ground floor area where you enter the parking building. Chiangmai Ram hospital is 5 minutes away walking.In house rental bikes & scooters are available as well.
Some condos do not assist foreign buyers with the 24 hour online arrival with Immigration which must be completed in 24 hours or they fine the owners in Guesthouses; hotels, condos etc. Not so in Sritana2 condo--- the manager will assist all renters and owners here
All the outside parking areas are allocated to the owners and tenants using a sticker system which stops outsiders parking their cars here. This means there are always outside parking for owners and staff. Inside the 8 storey car park building there are 6 floors allocated to car parking on the floors 2-8 for rowners--plenty of spaces.
Never buy a condo that has underground car parking?? as in the past years flooding has occurred and owners cars may not be covered by insurance? 1st floor is allocated to motorcycles.and bottom floor to bicycles, There is also a rental service for motorcycles on the ground floor.

LIVING IN CHIANGMAI--
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A WILL:
It is happening more often and in 2019 we have seen so many foreigners who do not have a will and have left no monies for their partners or wives who cannot even afford the burial. Do not let this happen to you. More foreigners are also being abandoned by their next of kin back in their home country who cannot afford to pay for their hospital fees outstanding and for repatriation back to their country.
