Ownership structures
Review the structure before you decide
Thailand ownership structures require careful review. Leasehold, building ownership, condo freehold, and company structures can each have different implications depending on the property and buyer situation.
- Leasehold arrangements should be reviewed for term, renewal language, and registration details.
- Building ownership may be relevant in some house or villa structures and should be checked carefully.
- Condo freehold can be relevant for qualifying condominium units, subject to the applicable rules.
- Company structures require independent legal and tax review and should not be treated as a default solution.
- Independent legal review is recommended before any reservation, contract, or payment decision.
