How does a contract transfer work?

1Check your purchase contract (SPA): is a transfer allowed, from when and at what fee?
2Get the developer’s written consent – without it there is no transfer
3Find a buyer – we broker via X Market (listing is free)
4Sign a transfer agreement between you, the buyer and the developer
5The buyer takes over the remaining instalments directly with the developer

Where do the payments go?

Only to the developer – or exactly as the written transfer agreement says. Never to X Property: we only broker and never accept money, not even deposits.

Always confirm bank details directly with the developer by calling its official number. If the account name differs from the developer in your contract: do not pay.

Check a number or payment request

Developer consent & fee

Whether and at what cost a transfer is allowed is set out in your purchase contract and decided by the developer. We deliberately publish no fees here – they differ by project and contract. Ask the developer for the current conditions in writing.

Which documents?

Purchase contract (SPA) with all annexes
Reservation confirmation
Receipts for all payments made to the developer
FET proof for money transferred from abroad
Passport copy
Power of attorney, if someone signs for you

Foreign buyer: FET proof

For registration at the Land Office, a foreign buyer needs their own proof that the money came from abroad. Clarify with the developer and the bank how this works in a transfer.

Lawyer

Have the transfer agreement checked by a licensed lawyer in Thailand – you can verify the licence with the Lawyers Council of Thailand.

No promises

We promise no price and no return. What a buyer pays is decided by the market.

What happens if you stop paying depends solely on your contract – read it or ask a lawyer before you decide.

Example only – no legal, tax or investment advice. Payments only to the developer per the transfer agreement, never to X Property.

Not included: taxes and fees at the Land Office, possible penalties under your contract.
