Your Pattaya Property Questions Answered – Casa Pattaya FAQ

Buying a condo “with tenant” means the property is already rented out when you purchase it. This gives you immediate income from day one. Once the current lease ends, you can choose to renew with the tenant, find a new one, or move in yourself. It’s a smart option for investors who want instant rental yield without the hassle of finding a tenant.

In Pattaya, most resale condominium units are offered fully furnished, especially in mid to high-end buildings, commonly including furniture and appliances like refrigerator, microwave, washing machine, and TV. However, furnishing levels can vary by building and owner.

At Casa Pattaya, every listing clearly states included furniture and appliances so you know exactly what you’re buying.

The main transfer fee is 2% of the government appraised value, typically split equally between buyer and seller (subject to negotiation).

Other taxes:

• Withholding Tax (WHT) – Seller pays; for individuals, based on personal income tax; for companies, 1% of sale price or appraised value (higher).
• Specific Business Tax (SBT) – 3.3% (incl. local tax), applies if sold within 5 years unless it’s a primary residence.
• Stamp Duty – 0.5% if SBT does not apply.

All charges are based on the Land Department valuation, often below market price.

Yes. A few Thai and international banks finance non-residents with higher down payments and shorter terms. Notably, residents of Singapore and Hong Kong can apply for mortgages with UOB Bank to purchase property in Pattaya (foreign quota units).

Financing is case-by-case based on income, nationality, and property. Casa Pattaya provides tailored support and lender introductions.

Optional service charges may apply for extra parking, storage, or shuttles. Penalties may apply for late payments.

Yes. Foreigners can own condominiums in Pattaya under the foreign freehold quota (up to 49% of a project’s sellable area). Funds must be remitted in foreign currency with proper documentation, and the unit must be within available quota at the time of purchase.

Casa Pattaya assists international buyers end-to-end: quota verification, FET handling, bank transfers, and transfer at the Land Department.
