FAQ
Below I have included commonly asked questions and my replies.
How much do I need to pay my real estate agent in Vietnam?
Buyers typically pay 1% to 2% of the purchase price to the real estate agent.
Should I hire a solicitor in Vietnam?
Buying property in a developing country like Vietnam sometimes requires that you hire a credible solicitor, at least for large and/or commercial transactions.
Compared to real estate agents, solicitors have a deeper knowledge when it comes to ownership regulations and they can assist you in the conveyancing process, like:
- Checking the title – confirming that there are no hidden liens, encumbrances or mortgages attached to the property
- Do a scrutiny check of the seller and confirm that he or she is actually owning the property, the problems are usually due to problems at the seller’s side, not the government
- Handle communications with the seller’s side
- Drafting and review the contracts together with you
