For condos in Thong Lo, Phloen Chit and Chit Lom, I check the price, the real total cost, the rental yield you can actually expect, and the ownership red flags, then tell you whether to proceed, negotiate, or walk away. Your report arrives within hours of sending me the details.
No commissions. I don't sell property.
Transfer fees, taxes, sinking fund, legal costs, furnishing, and FX add a meaningful amount on top of the advertised price, and who pays what is negotiable. One example: Thailand's 0.01% transfer fee reduction applies to Thai buyers only. As a foreign buyer you still pay the standard 2%, split however the contract says.
Advertised yields are usually gross, on price only, and assume occupancy nobody checked. "Guaranteed" returns depend on who guarantees them, for how long, and whether the guarantee is already priced into the unit. I rebuild the yield net, in bad, base, and good scenarios.
Title type, foreign quota, leasehold terms, and nominee arrangements can quietly change what you actually own. Many condos in Phloen Chit and Chit Lom are leasehold, and the brochure doesn't always say so up front.
A property you can't resell or rent is a different asset from the one in the brochure. I look at how easily you can exit.
Fee rules checked on . Rules change; your report uses the rules in force on its date.
A 10 to 15 page PDF, written for a buyer who is not a property professional.
I tell you how confident I am in each number. Thailand has no public database of actual sale prices, so some figures are estimates and are labeled as such.
Secure checkout by Stripe.
A short form opens right after payment: listing link, price, and what worries you most. About 5 minutes.
The clock starts when your details arrive. A PDF by email. Deal Pack includes a 45-minute video call.
If I miss the deadline or the report doesn't cover what your package promises, you get a full refund.
I'm . I started out as a property agent in Bangkok, so I've seen how deals are priced and pitched from the seller's side. Since then I've managed construction projects and planned residential developments, so I know what a building really costs to build and keep running. I don't sell property or take commission from sellers, developers, or agents, so my only job is to tell you what the deal really looks like.
If I ever receive a referral fee from a lawyer or service provider, I tell you in the report.

No. I'm not a lawyer or a licensed appraiser. The report flags what to check and what to ask; for anything legal, confirm with a licensed Thai lawyer. I give you the questions to ask them.
Rules differ by property type. Condo units can generally be owned freehold within the building's foreign quota; land and houses are treated very differently. The report flags what applies to your case and what to verify with a lawyer, using the rules in force on the report date.
No. If I ever receive a referral fee from anyone, it is disclosed in your report.
I may receive referral fees in some cases. Any fee is disclosed in your report.
The listing link or brochure, the price, the location, your goal (live in it, rent it out, or resell), and your biggest concerns. If you have a draft contract, you can upload it.
Used only to prepare your report and stored privately, then deleted days after your report is delivered.
Then that's the answer I'd rather you hear now than after transfer. A report that always says yes would be worthless.
Each number carries a confidence rating. Prices in Thailand are mostly asking prices rather than recorded sales, and rental income depends on assumptions I show you, so you can change them.
. If yours isn't listed, email first.
When your intake form arrives, not at payment. If something's missing I'll ask within one business day, and the clock pauses until you reply.
