windosill Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 I am in the UK with my Thai wife and we have a house in my wife's name that we wish to sell in Pattaya. I am coming to Pattaya for 2 weeks in March, but my wife is not due to work commitments. Is it possible to sell the house with my wife not present (any forms that can be signed by her in the UK), or can it at least be put on the market?

backflip Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 I purchased my condo from a guy living in Nepal. So, "yes" you can put it on the market. From my understanding, when the property is sold, the owner must be present. I'm sure Sunbelt can give you the right answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eljeque Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 You need .... 1. A Power of Attorney form which the land office has available. Your wife must sign it. I can email one to you if you PM me me and give your email address. 2. A copy of her ID card SIGNED!! and a copy of her Tambien Bahn SIGNED!!! 3. Why not throw in a copy of her passport SIGNED!! as well for good measure. If you are near a Thai consulate, it would be a good idea to get them to verify the signatures as well. I have transferred properties in the past with the above items WITHOUT a verification, but there is no reason not to get it if you are able. Do you already have a buyer? If so, congratulations.

eljeque Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 Land Office Power of Attorney form Copy back to back You need to have a TRUSTED friend here to handle a sale if neither you nor your wife are able to come here when a buyer is found. IT IS NOT SAFE TO LEAVE IT TO AN AGENT TO HANDLE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
