The 30+30+30 leasing contacts in Phuket is over
This whole issue could have been avoided by purchasers doing their "due diligence" In the 90s, I was offered a property on Phuket which was allegedly covered by a 30 year "renewable" lease, i.e. when 30 years had passed I could renew with no problem. I asked the following questions: Is this guaranteed in Thai law? Show me the law Can you assure me in writing that when I renew, I will pay the same for the second 30 years as I did for the first? If not, is the price of the renewal set out at the start of the lease? I also looked around for a lawyer whom I could be certain was independent and insured against malpractice. I'm sure we can all imagine the responses I received! One of those responses was that the seller stopped talking to me - that was the only positive outcome! Now, 30 years later, approaching the age of 70, and desiring security of tenure, I'm rather pleased that I didn't buy! -
