INTERESTED? TRY BEFORE YOU BUY!
Buying a home is a big step that no one wants to take lightly. While some customers had no doubts about their purchase at Bakong Village from the beginning, we understand that others may need to give it some more thought. There are many variables to take into consideration when buying a home, and probably the most important one is “how daily life will feel like once we’ve moved in? Is the space conveniently distributed for everyday life? Are the rooms functional and cozy? Can my children go to play outside safely?”
There is no better way to answer these questions and any other ones that you may have in mind than by experiencing the real Bakong Village life. Try before you buy is the program we have created to allow all prospective customers the opportunity to actually live at Bakong Village before making their final decision. We have fully furnished and carefully fitted out a selection of our villas and made them ready for you to move in and get the full Bakong Village experience for up to two nights, free of charge*.

OWNING A BAKONG PROPERTY AS A FOREIGNER
Whether you have been in Cambodia a long time or are looking at the potential of a second home in this beautiful country, you may have read that you cannot own land in the Kingdom. This is true, kind of.
While there are various mechanisms that may allow foreigners to own land, the easiest is the Perpetual Leasehold (PL). This mechanism grants foreign owners 100% control over the property, including transfer rights, up to 100 years. Bakong Village is proud to be one of the first projects to actively promote this mechanism and we can happily say that we have worked with several foreign buyers to be happy Bakong homeowners.
The following is meant to act as a guide to help you understand how it works.
PERPETUAL LEASE STRUCTURE
PERPETUAL LEASE STRUCTURE FAQ’s
1. What is a Title?
A title is an ownership certificate provided by the Cadastral Department of the Ministry of Land Management, Urban Planning and Construction. These titles contain comprehensive information for a particular land plot or immovable property (ex. A Bakong Village home). Titles are only available to Cambodian Nationals.
2. What is a Perpetual Leasehold Agreement?
A Perpetual Leasehold is a long-term lease agreement on immovable property for an initial term of 50 years. It is automatically renewed for a second 50-year term. It functions in most ways like a title, but can be owned (or “leased”) entirely by a foreign national. The total leasehold duration is up to 100 years (two 50-year terms)
3. How Does it Work?
The PL is setup in a similar way to buying a property:
- Customer signs a Perpetual Leasehold Agreement (PLA) with Bakong Village.
- The PLA is a legal document Bakong Village will file with Cadastral Office (Ministry of Land Management).
- The Cadastral Office will issue a Certificate of Perpetual Leasehold Title (CPLT) which reflects “indirect” ownership of the property
- The foreign customer will have the same rights of a Khmer National under a normal freehold purchase.
4. What are my rights with a PL?
PL Customers have all the same rights as a freehold buyer, including:
- full usage rights of the property subject to the same Bakong Village homeowners’ policies.
- Ability to sell/transfer the lease to another foreigner
- Ability to sell the lease to Khmer National (who can transfer this into a freehold title)
- Right to sublease the property to another renter
- Pledge/mortgage the property with a bank (for loan financing)
- Other real property rights under law.
