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.

How does the deposit process work?

Usually you reserve the unit with a deposit, then proceed to contract signing and payment milestones. The exact deposit amount and timeline depend on the seller and project. We confirm terms in writing before you transfer anything.

How do I book a viewing?

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.

Can I view multiple units in one trip?

Yes. Many buyers/tenants shortlist 3–6 units and view them in a single trip by area. We'll optimize the route to save time.

What payment methods are commonly used?

Payment is typically done via bank transfer following contract terms. We recommend keeping all payments traceable and aligned with signed documents.

How long does the whole process take?

It varies. Some deals move quickly in days, while others take weeks depending on legal checks, contract scheduling, and payment milestones. We'll give you a realistic timeline based on the chosen unit.

Are listings updated and still available?

Availability can change fast. We verify availability when you request a viewing and update you immediately if the unit is taken or if a similar unit is available.
