United Grace

Koh Samui & Koh Phangan

You are not the first owner to ask this question. 150 have already answered it.

Foreigners who held their villa through a Thai company or a lease, and now hold a property right registered at the Land Office in their own name. United Grace owns the land. Their name is on the same deed.

The starting point

A foreigner cannot hold land in Thailand. Only a right over it.

Most villas here are held through a company — the structure five agencies are reviewing in 2026. What that means, and the route out →

What our owners hold

One right, on the deed, in their own name.

Sap-Ing-Sith: a real right under the Property-Based Right Act B.E. 2562 (2019), inscribed on the Chanote next to the freehold owner. Open to any person, Thai or foreign.

What it gives you

Up to 30 years. Transferable without the landowner's consent. Inheritable by statute. Mortgageable as a matter of law. Survives a sale of the land.

What it does not

Not freehold — you do not own the land. No renewal mechanism in the Act, so never 60 or 90 years. Buildings revert at the end unless separately registered.

United Grace Co., Ltd. is 100% Thai-owned and owns its land outright — not in trust, not as a nominee. You hold a separate right in your own name. The legal detail →

Identical right on all three; changeable later. The buyer of the right pays all government fees and taxes: 2% transfer fee, 0.5% stamp duty, and a fixed Land Office fee. Management is separate, from 20%, published in full. Calculator →

The second question owners ask

What happens after 30 years.

The right expires and the land stays with the landowner. There is no renewal mechanism in the Act.

Before then you can sell the remaining term at any time, without anyone's consent — inside the network, at an indicative 1.5% instead of 6–10%, and 7–10 days to registration instead of 6–12 months on the market. How the exit works →

Questions owners ask.

What does it cost?
Three tracks, all producing the identical registered right, and you can change track later. Track A, the preferred one: you fund the purchase, then 3% of the purchase price a year, with no one-time service fee. Track B: you fund the purchase and pay 20% once at signing, minimum 700,000 baht, with no annual fees. Track C: nothing at signing because United Grace funds the purchase, then 6% of the purchase price a year. The buyer of the right pays all government fees and taxes on top: 2% transfer fee, 0.5% stamp duty, and a fixed Land Office fee.
What happens after 30 years?
The right expires and the land stays with the landowner. The Act contains no renewal mechanism, so continuing requires a fresh grant and a fresh registration — nobody can promise that today. Before then you can sell the remaining term at any point, which is why we run an internal resale network.
Whose name is on the title deed?
United Grace Co., Ltd. holds title to the land. Your right is registered on that same deed, in your own name. You hold a statutory real right — not ownership of the land, and we will never describe it as freehold.
What can I do with the right?
Live in it, rent it out, sell it without the landowner's consent, mortgage it as a matter of law, and leave it to your heirs by statute for the remainder of the term.
I already hold my villa through a Thai company. Does that change anything?
It changes the route, not the outcome. A structure cannot be converted, so we buy the property as a clean asset purchase, take title, and register your right fresh on the same deed. Your existing company is left behind.
I have not bought yet. Does this work for me too?
Yes. We buy with our own capital, pay the seller, take title and register your right in your own name — but only for properties that fit the portfolio.
Is this legal advice?
No. We expect you to have your own documents reviewed by independent Thai counsel before you sign anything.
