Auction condo 157.51 sq m, Patong (No. 31‑1)

This is a condominium unit of 157.51 sq m in Patong, Phuket, offered at an official public auction. The sale is run by the Legal Execution Department office in Phuket.

The unit comes with a condominium unit title and is sold free of mortgage. According to the announcement, the title holder is listed as the occupant, so vacant possession is not guaranteed.

Here is how the auction works. 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 on this page and updated daily from the official announcement.

The price structure is simple. The turnkey estimate is the starting price of the current round, plus our support fee, which is a share of the hammer price, plus a fixed lawyer fee. A calculator on the page shows the total for your own bidding limit. Government transfer fees are paid separately. If you do not win, you pay only a lot check advance. If you win, that advance counts towards the lawyer fee.

What our support covers:

• a lawyer checks the title, encumbrances and condominium debts;
• we inspect the building from outside and, if possible, inside;
• we place the security deposit and bid up to your limit;
• after a win we help with the balance payment, title registration at the Land Office, handover and, if needed, eviction through the court officer.

Foreigners can own a condominium unit within the 49% foreign quota of the building, with funds transferred from abroad. After a win, the balance is due within 15 days, and you can ask for an extension of up to 3 months. The purchase steps are shown in the "How it works" block on this page.

A few honest risks. The former owner may still live in the unit, and eviction goes through the enforcement procedure, with timing explained by our lawyer. An inside viewing is often impossible, and the condition at handover is not guaranteed. Banks almost never lend for auction purchases, so you need your own funds.

This lot suits buyers who are comfortable with procedural uncertainty, have their own funds and want legal checks and practical support through the auction.
