I plan to buy the house Im living in for 600.000bht the house will go into my girls name but I will morgage it to her for 30 years, I have sorted this out with the lawyer but I would like to know what other (hidden) expenses there are with house purchase, the house is as I said 600.000bht... laywers fee for his time + making a will... 20.000bht, transfer fee ? he cant tell me but he thinks about...40.000bht, why cant he tell me ? also he's talking about tax, what tax ? he said possibly 100.000bht, this sounds excessive on a house only costing 600.000bht, I have asked round and everyone I have spoken to agrees it does sound high, the house I plan to buy is in the pattaya area. is there any other costs I can expect ? thank's for any help on this subject.

I think you should find another attorney - I believe that you could accomplish all that you require for far less then your paying - taxes should be 7% and most often paid by the seller.

Look around - try Sun Belt for your legal requirements.

That's the beauty of Japan.

Each house/apartment has floor plans and how many tatamis each room covers. In print and schemes.

Aircons have the stickers on them what they are capable to heat/cool.

Just faxed to the shop what I have and adequate hardware came in, their staff mounted it and all perfect. No tips, just their job.

Do any of you know a comprehensive means to calculate requirements here in Thailand - based on the above it is difficult to calculate requirements.

Surely there is a ball park means to finding the requirements

I was very satisfied with JVK for a local move. Have used Asian Tigers, Transpo, and Santa Fe for international, no problems.

Can someone recommend a reliable and reasonable outfit for shipping furniture from Bangkok to Phuket. What shall I expect in terms of prices/delivery time? Any advice?

Many thanks!

Hi - for whats it worth - we shipped your basic forty foot container from Bangkok to Koh Phangan (also an island) for 2,500 USD. Not a single broken piece if packed properly.

Contact SANTAFE RELOACTION SERVICES in Bangkok.
