Selling a condo in Thailand: preparation, pricing and costs
Selling a home is rarely only a transaction. It is often the end of one chapter and the start of another. A considered sale protects both the price and your peace of mind. Documents and transfer costs work the same way across Thailand; the advice on pricing and presentation comes from our work in Bangkok.
Price with honesty
The right asking price comes from recent sales in the same building and similar buildings nearby, the condition of the unit, the view and the floor. Overpricing feels safe at first, but a listing that sits for months tends to lose attention and, in the end, value.
Prepare the home
Small things matter: fresh paint where it is needed, working fixtures, a deep clean and calm, uncluttered rooms. Good daylight photography is the first viewing for almost every buyer, so it deserves the same care as the home itself. Avera Living can arrange a deep clean and small repairs before the photographer arrives.
Have the documents ready
The title deed, your identification, the building’s debt-free letter from the juristic person confirming common fees are paid, and, if you are a foreign owner, the foreign exchange document from your original purchase. If the unit is mortgaged, speak to your bank early about redemption on the transfer day.
Understand the costs
Transfer costs at the Land Office typically include a transfer fee, withholding tax, and specific business tax or stamp duty depending on how long you have owned the unit. How they are shared with the buyer is a matter of agreement, so it is worth deciding before you accept an offer.
This is general information, not tax advice. Your own situation, especially as a foreign owner, may need an accountant or lawyer.
Qualified buyers, not just viewings
A good sale depends on serious buyers. We present each property carefully, speak to buyers before arranging viewings and keep you informed at every step, so your time is respected and the process stays calm.
