How do I get started?
What can ClearVision help with after I buy?
We are part of the ClearVision Group, so our help does not stop at the sale. We can support you with the legal side, property and rental management, holiday letting, and more — whether the property is your home or an investment.
One team, from the first viewing to long after you have the keys.
Is it safe to buy off-plan, before the property is built?
It can be — buying off-plan often means a lower entry price and a wider choice of units — but it depends entirely on the developer.
We only work with developers we know, we check their track record and the contract terms, and we tell you honestly if we have concerns. Off-plan should always come with proper due diligence, never just a brochure.
How does the buying process work?
In short: we learn what you want, then show you properties that genuinely fit — in person or by video if you are overseas. When you find the one, we negotiate the terms, carry out due diligence and prepare the contracts with legal support, you place a deposit, and we complete the transfer.
We are with you at every step, and you move at the pace you are comfortable with.
What does it cost to buy — fees and taxes?
Beyond the purchase price, a transaction normally involves government transfer fees and taxes, plus legal costs and, for some ownership structures, lease or company registration. How these are split between buyer and seller is often negotiable and varies from property to property.
For any specific property, we give you a clear, itemised estimate before you proceed — so there are no surprises at the land office.
Do you represent buyers, sellers, or both?
Both. We help buyers find the right property, and we help owners sell or rent theirs.
Because Phuket is not a closed, single-listing market, we can show you homes across many projects and developers — not just a handful of our own — and give you a balanced view instead of pushing one listing.
Why don’t you show the exact project name and location until I get in touch?
This is deliberate, and it is about giving you better advice. On the public site we show a property’s area, type, size, price and key features — enough to know whether it is worth a closer look — but not the exact project name or pin.
As soon as we talk and understand what you are looking for, we share everything: the real project, the location, the developer, and our honest opinion of it. It keeps your search focused on the right homes rather than a name on a list.
What is the difference between freehold and leasehold?
Freehold means you own the property outright, with no time limit — the usual route for a condominium.
Leasehold means you hold a long-term registered lease, with the length and renewal terms set out in the contract — a common route for villas and land. Each has trade-offs in price, control and resale, and we will walk you through exactly how they apply to any property you are considering.
Can foreigners buy property in Phuket?
Yes. A foreigner can own a condominium unit outright, in their own name, as long as the building is within its foreign-ownership allowance. Land — and therefore most villas and houses — is usually held through a long-term lease or another legal structure rather than direct foreign ownership.
Which option is right depends on the property and what you want from it. We explain the choices clearly before you commit, and our in-house legal team (ClearVision Legal) handles the details.
