Frequently asked questions
What does the listed price usually include?
Most listings show the unit price only. Depending on the deal, common add-ons may include maintenance fees, building management fees, taxes, and service charges. We'll confirm the exact breakdown for each unit before you place a deposit.
What common fees should I expect when buying?
Typical fees may include notary/contract fees, administrative processing, taxes (depending on the transaction type), and building management-related fees. Exact fees vary by project and ownership type—ask us for a unit-specific cost sheet.
Is the property legally verified before I proceed?
We help verify key legal documents and ownership information before you place a deposit. If anything is unclear, we advise you early and recommend safer alternatives.
Can foreigners buy apartments in Vietnam?
In many cases, yes—foreigners can buy eligible units under Vietnam's housing regulations. Eligibility depends on the project, quota rules, and document requirements. We'll check eligibility for the exact unit you choose.

Send us the unit links (or your criteria), your preferred date/time, and we'll confirm availability and schedule the viewing. Same-day viewings are possible when the unit is available.
