Why Invest in Phuket Property?
From an investment standpoint, the property market in Phuket has performed particularly well over the last few years, bouncing back from the Covid pandemic to deliver record sales for both villas and condominiums in 2023. From a longer-term perspective, real estate in Phuket can also be considered a relatively safe investment, as its key driver is tourism, which has steadily risen over the last few decades and is projected to keep doing so. The island is also unique in that it offers not only exceptional property investment opportunities, but it also has huge lifestyle appeal, backed up by excellent infrastructure, international schools, hospitals, golf courses, and amenities. With excellent direct air connectivity to around 40 countries, Phuket is not only attractive for real estate investors and buyers seeking an overseas holiday home, but also to families looking to relocate, along with digital nomads.
Notable Areas for Luxury Homes in Phuket
As is typical of any beach resort destination, the Phuket’s property market develops geographically according to proximity to the best beaches, and Phuket and its proliferation of development on the West Coast is no exception. The allure of the Andaman Sea and pristine beaches in areas like Kamala, Bang Tao, Patong, Karon, and Kata have historically made this region a focal point for hotels, resorts, and high-end real estate. With the rise of branded real estate in Phuket, the lines between hotels and real estate have also blurred, as international hotel brands increasingly integrate residential properties into their offerings. However, rising coastal land prices and limited availability in these prime locations are driving expansion into new parts of the island. This is particularly evident in the Thalang district, for reasons such as proximity to the airport and superior infrastructure. As the profiles of luxury property buyers diversify, factors such as value for money, proximity to amenities, and access to schools are becoming increasingly important alongside traditional preferences for beachfront locations. In this dynamic market, sustainable inland developments are also gaining momentum, offering eco-friendly designs and spacious living while preserving Phuket’s natural beauty…Read More
Legal Structures for Owning Property in Phuket
It is essential that foreigners considering investing in property in Phuket have a good understanding of the ownership restrictions concerning non-Thai nationals buying real estate in Thailand. Foreigners are not allowed to own freehold land directly in their own name, the alternative is to lease the land or use a corporate holding structure without Thai nominees. In terms of apartments and freehold condominiums, these two property types are distinct in Thailand from a legal standpoint. Apartments can be owned via a 30-year lease and/or shares in a Thai company that holds the freehold. On the other hand, freehold condominiums have a special license allowing the developer to sell up to 49% of the usable floor space to foreigners on a freehold basis.

The Process for Buying Property in Phuket
It is useful for prospective Phuket real estate investors to understand in advance the aspects of the process for buying property in Phuket that are not common to all property markets. Key points to bear in mind are that typically, to secure/reserve a property and take it off the market while due diligence and contract work are carried out, a non-refundable deposit is required; the amount varies between properties, but this is often around 5% of the sales price. The deposit would only be refundable if due diligence failed. Other points to take into account include the fact that any agency commission is paid by the seller; for off-plan properties, the settlement is made in stages using a payment schedule tied to construction progress, and for properties using a corporate holding structure for the freehold, investors need to allow sufficient time for the company set up and also be mindful of additional government transfer fees.
