The method
Three moments where a project is won or lost.
Before the deposit
We read the file, not the listing.
Our contacts pull the title at the Land Office and compare what is registered with what is being sold. Half the time, that conversation ends there.
Lease, company, condominium quota or building ownership: the right route depends on your purpose and your exit, and it is set by a lawyer — never by a seller.
Objective, budget, horizon — and whether you are buying to use, to rent or to develop.
Selection
A shortlist that fits the brief, with a comparative note on each option.
Verification
Title, zoning, access, restrictions and seller authority, before any deposit.
Structure
Lawyers set the ownership framework; we model the numbers alongside it.
Build
Tender, specification and supervision with contractors whose record we can verify.
Operate
Rental positioning, management and reporting for owners who live elsewhere.

“We were three days from signing. ARRTEA pulled the title, found the access strip
belonged to a third party, and saved us the whole project.”

Our network
Agencies, land brokers, property and corporate lawyers, contractors, architects and financial
advisors — each selected for a track record we can check, and coordinated by us on your behalf.
A foreigner can own a condominium unit outright within the foreign quota of a building.
Land cannot be held directly by a foreign individual, so villas and plots are structured differently —
long lease, a Thai company with genuine substance, or ownership of the building separately from the land.
The right structure depends on your purpose and horizon, and is set by a lawyer, not by a seller.
How long does a purchase take?
A condominium can complete in three to six weeks. Land and villa purchases usually run
six to twelve weeks, driven by due diligence and the structure being put in place. A build adds ten to
eighteen months depending on size and season.
What returns can I expect in Koh Samui?
Well-positioned villas typically achieve gross rental yields in the range of six to
nine percent, with occupancy driven by season, location and management quality. We model your specific
project rather than quoting an island average.
Do you charge the buyer or the seller?
We tell you exactly how we are paid on each transaction before you engage us —
advisory fee, partner commission, or a combination. No arrangement is hidden inside a price.
Can you help if I have already found a property?
Yes. Verification and structuring are frequently our entry point. Send us the listing
and the title reference and we will tell you what we can check and how quickly.
Tell us what you want to build, buy or verify.
One call, no obligation. We will tell you whether your project is realistic in Thailand, what it should cost and what to check first.
