In 2025, Thailand’s real estate market demands high levels of transparency, security, and professionalism. While you could once simply 'post your property online', today this approach carries serious legal, tax, and reputational risks.
According to the Real Estate Information Center (REIC), over 68% of transactions involving foreigners are now handled through licensed agencies. The reasons? Protection, compliance, and legal safety.
Why Can't You Just Post an Ad?
Yes, technically you can list on DDproperty, FazWaz, or Facebook. But:
- Fake buyers: scammers collect data, make fake deposits;
- No buyer verification: who are they? where do funds come from?
- Contract errors: incorrect terms can void the deal;
- Tax liability: income must be declared and taxed.
What Does the Law Say?
Under Department of Lands (DoL) and Revenue Department rules:
- Sale: capital gains tax (37%) or fixed rates (4% + 1.1%);
- Rental: income tax (15–35%), VAT (7%) if revenue > 1.8M THB/year;
- AML (Anti-Money Laundering): banks require proof of fund origin;
- Chanote: only original title deed confirms ownership.
How to Safely Sell or Rent in 2025?
We recommend working with a licensed agency. Professionals provide:
- Buyer/tenant verification: passport, financial docs;
- Contract preparation: English & Thai, fully compliant;
- Tax support: calculation, payment, filing;
- Legal due diligence: title check, sinking fund balance;
- Marketing: VR tours, video, social media ads, portal exposure.
