We are with you at each step.
Our Services
What we do
We provide information and introduce you to local partners, from finding a property through to holding it.
Introducing selected properties
Through our direct network with agents in Vietnam we introduce selected investment properties, including ones that are not published on this site. We suggest properties that fit what you are looking for — the decision is always yours.
Support through the contract process
From the sale and purchase agreement through to obtaining the pink book (certificate of ownership), we guide you through the process, and translation of the contract documents can be arranged (currently into Japanese — ask us about other languages). Please review the contract with a lawyer or other professional. This does not remove the risks of buying property overseas.
After the purchase
Rental management, tax filing in Vietnam and remittance of rent can be handled by local partners, so you do not need to be in the country. The services and fees are agreed directly with the local partner.
Process
How a purchase works

Buying is the start, not the finish. These services are provided by local partners in Vietnam, and are agreed directly with them.
Rental management
Finding tenants, managing move-in and move-out, and maintenance — handled by a local partner.
Tax filing in Vietnam
A local partner can file and pay tax in Vietnam and prepare the documents you need. Your own tax position is a matter for a qualified tax professional.
Remittance of rent
Rent, less management fees and tax, can be remitted to your bank account. Amounts move with exchange rates.
Regular reports
Occupancy, income and expenditure, and market conditions, reported to you regularly.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
The questions we are asked most often about property in Vietnam.
Since the 2015 revision of the Housing Law, foreign nationals have been able to buy condominiums in eligible projects, and to obtain the certificate of ownership (the pink book). Conditions apply — for example a cap on the share of units in any one building that may be held by foreign nationals (up to 30%), and a limited ownership term. Eligibility has to be confirmed for each specific project.
In most cases the process can be handled remotely. If you grant a power of attorney, a local lawyer can carry out the contract procedures. If you would rather see the property in person, we can arrange a visit.
It depends on the property and the area. As a rough guide, studio-type condominiums start from around JPY 10 million. Many developers offer instalment schemes, which lowers the amount needed up front. These are estimates, not an offer — please ask us for current prices.
Where a local partner manages the property, rent less management fees and tax can be remitted to your bank account. Income is not guaranteed: it varies with occupancy, rates and operating performance, and the amount you receive also moves with exchange rates.
Yes. You are welcome to get in touch even if you are only looking, from a small question about property in Vietnam through to a specific project. We reply in English, Japanese and Vietnamese.
