Auction condo 39.8 sq m, Choeng Thale (No. 63‑1)

This is a condominium unit of 39.8 sq m in Choeng Thale, Phuket, offered at an official court-ordered auction. It comes with a condominium unit title and is sold free of mortgage.

The announcement lists the title holder as the occupant, so vacant possession is not guaranteed. Please keep this in mind from the start.

The auction is held by the Legal Execution Department office in Phuket. The department publishes an official appraisal and a schedule of auction rounds. If a round passes without bidders, the next one starts at a lower price under the department's rules. Every bidder places a security deposit on auction day. The final price is set at the auction and can be higher than the starting price if several bidders take part. The current round, its date, the starting price, the deposit and our turnkey estimate are shown in separate blocks on this page and are updated every day from the official announcement.

The price is built from a few parts. The turnkey estimate is the starting price of the current round, plus our support fee (a share of the hammer price), plus a fixed lawyer fee. The page calculates it, and a calculator shows the total for your own bidding limit. Government transfer fees are paid separately. If the auction is not won, you pay only a lot check advance; after a win it counts towards the lawyer fee.

We handle the work around the auction for foreign buyers. Foreigners can own a condominium unit within the 49% foreign quota of the building, with funds transferred from abroad. Banks almost never lend for auction purchases, so plan to use your own funds. Our support covers:

• a lawyer's check of the title, encumbrances and condominium debts;
• an inspection of the building outside and, if possible, inside;
• placing the security deposit and bidding up to your limit;
• after a win: paying the balance within 15 days (extension up to 3 months on request), registering the title at the Land Office, handover and, if needed, eviction through the court officer.

The purchase steps are shown one by one in the «How it works» block on this page.

Now the honest risks. The former owner may still live in the unit, and eviction then goes through the enforcement procedure; our lawyer explains the timing. An inside viewing is often impossible. The condition at handover is not guaranteed.

This lot suits a buyer who accepts bidding with limited information about the unit, uses their own funds and is comfortable with a possible eviction process. If a guaranteed viewing and immediate move-in matter to you, a regular resale purchase may fit better.
