The various types of ownership available depend upon the type of property purchased and are set out in more detail below:

Laguna Townhomes and Laguna Residences
Development licenses under the Land Allotment Code are obtained for our Townhome and Residence developments whereby individual title deeds are issued in respect of each land plot. Therefore, land plots may be owned on a leasehold or freehold basis. Under Thai law, foreigners may own buildings developed upon the land leased by them, but not the land itself. We offer a 120-year lease for non- Thais, being four terms of consecutive 30-year leases (30-years being the maximum lease term that may be permitted under current Thai law). Alternatively, freehold ownership of the land is available for Thai nationals or Thai registered companies, having a shareholding majority by Thai nationals.

Laguna Village Villas
This development project is under the Condominium Act of 1979 whereby condominiums can be acquired on both a leasehold and freehold basis. However, the number of freeholds held by foreigners in a condominium is limited to 49% of the total area of the units, excluding the area of the registered common property. Upon the completed construction, an application will be made to register the development under the terms of the Condominium Act.

Banyan Tree Villas
As these villas are an integral part of the exclusive Banyan Tree Resort, land is offered on a leasehold basis only. However, the buildings are sold as freehold.

Dusit Laguna Villas
As these villas are an integral part of the exclusive Dusit Laguna Resort, land is offered on a leasehold basis only. However, the buildings are sold as freehold.

A. These are outlined below:

Leasehold title
Lease registration fees and stamp duty (currently 1.1% of the land rental or lease premium) is payable to the Land Department upon registration of the lease.
Freehold registration fees (currently 2.0% of the appraisal price of property) is payable to the Land Department upon transfer and registration of title of the property. The appraisal price is calculated relative to the government's tax assessment value which is generally well below market value. Other applicable taxes upon transfer and registration of freehold title are:
Corporate Income Tax (currently 1.0% of the selling price or appraisal price, whichever is higher)
Specific Business Tax (currently 3.3% of the selling price or appraisal price, whichever is higher)
The burden between the seller and the purchaser for the above costs will be specified in the Lease and/or Sale & Purchase Agreements.

Note: Note that those certain applicable tax rates rely upon the relevant Thai tax laws at the date of issue of this FAQ.
Changes in law or circumstances may occur after the issue date.

A.Leasehold land may be transferred subject to the terms and conditions of the agreements. Generally, an assignment fee is payable. In addition, the assignee must agree to be bound by the terms and conditions contained in the original lease agreement.

We strongly suggest you consult with an independent legal and/or tax adviser.

For properties in a rental program, these services (such as housekeeping, pool cleaning, gardening, routine and preventative maintenance, general repairs and pest control) will normally be provided as part of the rental program. However, these services are also available to nonrental program properties. Please contact the Property Sales Centre for further details.
