Valuation and ownership transfer in Khon Kaen — know the numbers first
Quick answer
A useful Khon Kaen valuation references the government assessed value, actual transaction prices of comparable properties nearby, and the real condition of the property. On transfer day the land office charges several fees and taxes calculated on different bases, so both parties should know the approximate figures before the appointment.
The question we hear most is 'what should this plot sell for?'. The useful answer is not a single number but a range, with the reasons it moves up or down: frontage, access, ground level and zoning.
On transfer day, problems rarely come from the law itself. They come from the two sides never agreeing in advance who pays which fee, so we summarise the approximate totals for both parties beforehand.
Indicative Khon Kaen figures
| Area / item | Indicative range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Desk valuation from documents and photos | no charge | Usually 1-2 working days once we have the information. |
| On-site valuation | no charge for properties listed with us | Properties outside our core service area may need advance scheduling. |
| Transfer fees and taxes | calculated at the Land Department rates in force at the time | Rates and temporary reductions change by government announcement, so confirm with the land office before the appointment. |
The ranges below are working estimates based on properties we see in the Khon Kaen market. They are a starting point for negotiation only; the real figure depends on frontage, access, zoning, building condition and any encumbrance on the title.

What to watch out for
- Do not treat the government assessed value as a market price; they serve different purposes.

- Settle who pays which fee before transfer day rather than arguing at the counter.
- A power of attorney must be completed correctly or the transfer may not proceed that day.
FAQ
Is the valuation really free?
Yes. A desk valuation from documents and photos, and an on-site visit for properties listed with us, carry no charge because they are the first step of working together.
Who pays the transfer fees?
The law does not fix one side as responsible for everything. In practice it is agreed in the contract — split evenly or borne by one party. What matters is writing it clearly into the sale agreement.
Where does the transfer take place in Khon Kaen?
At the land office covering the property's location. Properties in Mueang district go through the Khon Kaen provincial land office; other districts use their own branch office.
