Houses for Sale in Chiang Mai

Keep a separate budget for transfer-related fees and taxes, legal due diligence, bank or foreign-exchange costs where applicable, and any project or common-area charges. The exact amount and buyer/seller split depend on the property and written agreement, so confirm an itemised estimate before making an offer.

First reconfirm the property's availability and arrange a viewing. If you want to proceed, agree the offer and deposit terms in writing, complete title and property due diligence, prepare the required funds and documents, and then complete the transfer. Do not rely on a verbal reservation as the final agreement.

A house transaction can involve both the building and the land beneath it. Confirm the title documents, registered owner, boundaries, encumbrances and legal access, and obtain case-specific professional advice if the buyer is not a Thai national before paying a deposit.

Inspect the structure, roof, water and electrical systems, drainage, signs of moisture or termites, land boundaries, road access and any fixtures included in the sale. Significant concerns should be checked before the deposit becomes non-refundable.
