Koh Samui Property Thailand - Management Services Casabaan Properties

Buying property in Thailand, whether its land, a serviced apartment or a house, can offer good value for money in comparison to prices in the US and Europe, although prices in some areas have risen dramatically in recent years. Thailand's land costs can be lower, building and maintenance is cheaper, cost of ownership (taxes, utilities) is very low, and although there are 'horror stories' associated with buying property here (as in every country in the world), the overwhelming majority of all real estate deals go through legally and smoothly.

Property Consultancy & Legal Advice

When purchasing a condominium, commercial building or land for development, as in most countries, different laws, conditions and restrictions may apply, particularly in the case of foreign ownership. Therefore you must carefully consider the presence you take, which again depends greatly on your overall goal.

Development

Access and utility related costs are vital considerations particularly with ‘raw' project land. Time consuming and bogged down with bureaucracy and red tape, to say the least. Getting a telephone line can take a number of months, particularly now as growth on the island and applications for such services increase at a rate which the service providers hardly can keep up with creating an inevitable back log. Hi-speed internet is relatively new to the island and currently only available in certain locations. We are aware of all the nuances and can ensure your asset is wired up, switched on and ready for occupation without distress.

You may require to sub-divide your land for a development project, each new plot would require independent water, drainage, power and communications supplies and necessary licenses and permits. Also, all new concrete roads require planning approval and may require negotiations with several land owners and local officials, this is an area in which we have experienced and expertise.

Together with our affiliate consultancy company D&G Consulting and our construction partner InnovAsian , we can accelerate the process and cut through the red tape and bureaucracy to ensure your project meets its deadline.

We know the timings, we know the costs , and we have the contacts to take care of these services even if you've left it until the last minute.
