Auction condo 33.5 sq m, Rawai (No. 144‑1)

This is a condominium unit of 33.5 sq m in Rawai, Phuket, sold at an official court-ordered auction. The title is a condominium unit title, and the unit is sold free of mortgage. The announcement lists the title holder as the occupant, so vacant possession is not guaranteed.

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 round starts at a lower price under the department's rules. Every bidder places a security deposit on auction day, and the final price is set at the auction. It can be higher than the starting price if several bidders take part. The current round, its date, the starting price and the turnkey estimate are shown on this page and updated every day from the official announcement.

Here is how the price is built. 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. The page calculates it, and a calculator shows the total for your own bidding limit. Government transfer fees are paid separately. If you do not win the auction, you pay only a lot check advance. After a win, that advance counts towards the lawyer fee.

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 pay with 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;
• payment of the balance within 15 days after a win (extension up to 3 months on request), registration at the Land Office, handover and, if needed, eviction through the court officer.

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

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

This option suits a buyer who accepts procedural delays and uncertainty about condition, has own funds ready and wants legal support through the auction.
