Cambodia property, measured before it is sold
26 guides, 7 project reviews and 2 district reports on Phnom Penh strata title, written to talk you out of the wrong building as readily as into the right one.
Start with how to buy property in Cambodia, check the numbers behind Cambodia property investment, then narrow down with the best areas to invest in Phnom Penh.
Budget, passport, purpose
Every row below already has a written guide behind it, not a form that promises one.
Reviewed, not brochured
Pricing, quota position, payment schedule and the red flags, across 7 Phnom Penh and coastal developments.
$70,000 exempt
Stamp duty relief on the first $70,000 of registered value on qualifying residential units. Verify the live Prakas with a Cambodia lawyer before relying on it.
What the exemption covers →20% capital gains
Capital gains tax on property gains applies from 1 January 2027, after repeated deferral. It changes the arithmetic of a five-year hold, not the decision to buy.
How the countdown reads →2 district reports
What the premium buys, what it costs in yield, and at which streets it stops being real.
Who should not buy here
Borey buyers
A landed borey house cannot be foreign-owned. There is no structure that fixes this cleanly, and anyone offering one is selling you a nominee.
Brochure yield chasers
12% to 15% gross yields remain marketing-only in 2026. The honest number on a Phnom Penh one-bed is closer to 5% net after fees and vacancy.
Siem Reap tourism bets
Ticketed international visitors fell 30.7% in the first seven months of 2026. A buyer without a view on that number has no view on Siem Reap.
Rent-guarantee shoppers
A rent guarantee looks like risk transfer and is usually price manipulation: part of your own purchase price returned in instalments and called yield.
