Frequently Asked Questions

Question About Selling

While real estate is generally considered a stable investment, homes can depreciate in value under certain circumstances:

  • Market Conditions: Economic downturns, oversupply of properties, or declining local economy can reduce property values
  • Location Changes: Deteriorating neighborhood conditions, increased crime rates, or loss of local amenities
  • Physical Deterioration: Lack of maintenance, structural damage, or outdated features can decrease value
  • External Factors: New construction of unwanted facilities nearby (landfills, industrial sites), environmental hazards

Protection Tip: Regular maintenance, strategic renovations, and choosing properties in growing areas can help preserve and increase your home's value over time.

Both older and new homes offer distinct advantages depending on your priorities and budget:

Advantages of Older Homes:

  • Character & Charm: Unique architectural details, mature landscaping, established neighborhoods
  • Location: Often in central, well-developed areas with established amenities
  • Lower Price: Generally more affordable per square meter than new construction
  • Negotiation Room: More flexibility in pricing, especially if repairs are needed

Advantages of New Homes:

  • Modern Features: Energy-efficient systems, smart home technology, contemporary layouts
  • Lower Maintenance: Everything is new with warranties, minimal repairs needed initially
  • Customization: Ability to choose finishes, layouts, and upgrades during construction
  • Building Codes: Meet current safety and efficiency standards

Best Value: Depends on your needs, budget, and whether you prioritize location/character (older) or modern amenities/lower maintenance (newer).

A real estate broker is a licensed professional who has completed advanced training and certification beyond a standard real estate agent, authorized to operate independently and manage their own brokerage.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Transaction Facilitation: Oversee property sales, purchases, and rentals from listing to closing
  • Legal Compliance: Ensure all transactions comply with local real estate laws and regulations
  • Market Expertise: Provide accurate property valuations and market analysis
  • Negotiation: Represent clients' interests in price negotiations and contract terms
  • Agent Supervision: Manage and train real estate agents working under their license
  • Documentation: Handle contracts, disclosures, and legal paperwork

Broker vs Agent: While both help with property transactions, brokers have higher qualifications, can work independently, and may supervise agents. Agents must work under a broker's license.

At Propland Realtor: Our licensed brokers provide expert guidance throughout your buying or selling journey, ensuring professional service and legal protection.

Yes, in most cases you can pay your own property taxes and insurance directly, though it depends on your financing situation:

Cash Purchase or Paid-Off Property:

  • You have full control over tax and insurance payments
  • Pay property taxes directly to local authorities (typically annually or semi-annually)
  • Purchase homeowner's insurance independently from any provider
  • Responsible for ensuring timely payments to avoid penalties or lapses in coverage

Mortgage/Loan Financing:

  • Escrow Account: Many lenders require an escrow account where you pay monthly installments
  • Lender Management: The lender collects funds and pays taxes/insurance on your behalf
  • Waiver Options: Some lenders allow you to waive escrow if you meet certain criteria (typically 20%+ equity, good payment history)
  • Additional Fee: Waiving escrow may involve a small fee or slightly higher interest rate

Advantages of Self-Payment: More control, potential to earn interest on funds before payment deadlines

Advantages of Escrow: Automated payments, no risk of missing deadlines, budgeting simplicity with consistent monthly amounts

Question About Renting

Rental lease terms in Thailand vary based on property type and landlord preferences:

Standard Lease Terms:

  • 1 Year (Most Common): Standard for condos and houses, provides stability for both parties
  • 6 Months: Available for some properties, often at slightly higher monthly rates
  • 2-3 Years: Long-term leases may offer discounted rates and priority renewal rights
  • Month-to-Month: Flexible but typically 10-20% higher rent; requires 30-day notice to vacate

Lease Renewal:

  • Most landlords allow renewal with 30-60 days notice before expiration
  • Rent may be adjusted (typically 3-5% increase) upon renewal
  • Early termination usually requires 1-2 months notice and may forfeit deposit

Tip: Longer leases often provide better rates and stability. Negotiate terms before signing, especially for multi-year commitments.

Rental inclusions vary by property type and landlord, but here's what you can typically expect:

Usually Included in Rent:

  • Basic Structure: Use of the property, basic fixtures, and built-in appliances
  • Common Area Maintenance: Upkeep of hallways, lobbies, elevators (in condos/apartments)
  • Building Security: Guards, CCTV systems, access control
  • Parking: At least one space (verify quantity in lease)

Sometimes Included (Verify in Lease):

  • Utilities: Water is often included; electricity and internet usually separate
  • Furniture: Furnished vs unfurnished affects rental price significantly
  • Amenities: Pool, gym, playground access (common in condos)
  • Maintenance: Appliance repairs, A/C servicing (varies by agreement)

Usually Tenant's Responsibility:

  • Electricity, internet, cable/streaming services
  • Phone line installation and bills
  • Minor repairs and day-to-day upkeep

Important: Always clarify all inclusions and exclusions in writing before signing the lease to avoid misunderstandings.

Security deposits in Thailand typically follow standard market practices, though amounts can vary:

Standard Deposit Amounts:

  • Residential Properties: Usually 2 months' rent (1 month security deposit + 1 month advance rent)
  • Luxury Properties: May require 3 months' rent (2 months deposit + 1 month advance)
  • Furnished Properties: Often higher deposits to cover furniture/appliance protection
  • Commercial Spaces: Typically 3-6 months' rent depending on fit-out and lease terms

Deposit Purpose:

  • Cover unpaid rent or utilities
  • Repair damages beyond normal wear and tear
  • Replace damaged/missing furniture or appliances
  • Cleaning costs if property left in poor condition

Getting Your Deposit Back:

  • Move-Out Inspection: Landlord inspects property with you present
  • Documentation: Take photos/videos at move-in and move-out to prove condition
  • Timeline: Deposits typically returned within 30 days after lease end
  • Deductions: Landlord must provide itemized list of any deductions

Protection Tip: Ensure the deposit amount and return conditions are clearly stated in your rental agreement. Keep all receipts and documentation.

Modifications to rental properties require careful consideration and usually landlord approval:

Generally Allowed (Often Without Permission):

  • Temporary Changes: Removable wall hooks, temporary wallpaper, furniture arrangement
  • Minor Decor: Hanging pictures with small nails, adding curtains, placing area rugs
  • Personal Items: Adding your own furniture, decorations, plants

Best Practices:

  • Get all approvals in writing via email or amendment to lease
