Selection of properties in Thailand, Indonesia and Cambodia

We will select housing for the budget, format and task — for living, long-term rent or investment. We work in three countries: Thailand (including Phuket), Indonesia and Cambodia. The selection includes objects that match the request, and not the entire showcase of the region.

Free search: how we select options

The selection service is free for the buyer and tenant. The agency's interest is that the deal be closed at a suitable facility.
First the country and the task, then the objects. We fix the budget, term, family composition or investment goal and preferences by location. Phuket, other resorts and cities in Thailand, Bali and other destinations in Indonesia, Phnom Penh and the Cambodian coast are compared only if they actually close the same request. Otherwise, we are searching within one country.
Different type of housing. Condominiums, apartments, townhouses and villas — from a compact lot in a residential complex to a house by the sea. We look at new buildings and the secondary market in parallel, when both segments are suitable in terms of budget and entry date.
Price at developer level. The cost of the lot is not increased relative to the developer's price list. The task of selection — to compare price, layout, type and liquidity in a specific location.
A deal without moving to a place. Most purchases take place remotely: video communication, online display and remote registration. The format is convenient when objects are in different countries and flying to every viewing is irrational.
Escort before registration. Purchases and rentals come with document verification and payment control. The legal scheme depends on the country and type of object — we discuss it before booking, and not after transferring money.

What's included in the selection

1. Market benchmark of the selected country. The current picture for new buildings and secondary housing: where is it more logical to buy for living, where rental demand is stronger, what complexes are already on sale. For Thailand, we separately analyze Phuket and alternatives within the country, if the request allows this. For Indonesia and Cambodia — their areas, market stage and seasonality of demand.
2. A short selection. Extra projects do not add clarity. We find out what is important — floor, view, distance to the sea or to the business center, infrastructure of the complex, silence, school, clinic — and show a narrow set of matches.
3. Visiting sites. Free individual route around the chosen city or resort: location, development around, entrance and the lot itself. We will agree on the composition of the tour in advance so as not to waste a day on complexes outside the budget or outside the task.
4. Video viewing from another country. Online screening with a tour of the apartment or villa, views from the windows and commentary on the area. Suitable if you are comparing Thailand, Indonesia and Cambodia and are not ready to fly to every address.
5. Selecting a lot and entering into a deal. Among the projects we like, we compare layouts, view characteristics and liquidity. Next — purchase from the developer or support of the lease according to the rules of the country where the property is located.

Object verification and safe calculation

The property undergoes a legal review before payment. In Thailand, Indonesia and Cambodia, the package of documents and the forms of tenure available to the foreigner differ, so the review is tied to jurisdiction rather than a universal template.
Documents and history. Ownership, chain of owners, encumbrances and debts that may surface after the reservation.
Legal support. Consultation on the transaction scheme, examination of the contract, preparation for registration of rights. For a foreign buyer, we separately record what form of ownership is applicable to the selected type of real estate in this country.
Payment procedure. Payments are carried out according to proven cross-border schemes. Notarization confirms the legality of documents and fixes the conditions before the funds are transferred.

What you encounter when searching on your own

The amounts in the transactions are large, and advertisements for Thailand, Indonesia and Cambodia are spread out between developers, secondary owners and aggregators with different relevance. Typical losses look like this:

• Weeks are spent on disparate objects. Comparing a villa in Phuket, an apartment in Bali and a condominium in Phnom Penh is as if it were one market with one currency, one tax and one rental demand.
• Price and course manage to change. While the picture is being collected from open sources, the developer indexes prices or shifts the exchange rate, and the calculation on which the decision was based no longer works.
• The desired lot leaves earlier. While attention is on the objects «for general understanding», another buyer is booking an apartment with a suitable layout.
• The district is assessed according to today's picture. Without data on roads, new clusters and infrastructure load, it is easy to miss a location that will become more in demand, or overestimate an area where demand is seasonal.
• The view and surroundings are not fixed. A new residential complex on a neighboring site, a change in the coastline of the building, or noisy infrastructure nearby change the use scenario even before moving in. This is rarely written about in the ad card.

The selection is based on a reconciliation of the market of a specific country and location. A tour of the sites gives this picture on site. If check-out is not possible, the same circuit closes the online display.

Investment: Thailand, Indonesia, Cambodia

Resort rental demand and the city market are structured differently here. Phuket and other Thai resorts, Bali and Cambodian cities cannot be added to the same profitability. In the investment selection, we count two things for each location separately.
Market valuation. The lot value is checked against comparable offers of the same district and class, and not against the advertising price «from».
Risks. The construction stage, the reputation of the developer, competition within the location, the seasonality of the rental and how much the layout and appearance support resale or rental.
Purchase in any of three countries — long horizon solution. Selection, legal verification and a clear calculation procedure are needed both by those who take housing for living and by those who calculate profitability.

Buying or renting advice

Write budget, country or city and format — condominium, villa or apartments — and task: accommodation, long-term rental or investment. If the country has not yet been selected, at the consultation we will compare Thailand, Indonesia and Cambodia to your script and collect the first selection without the obligation to fly for viewing.
