Should be able to own it as a foreigner as it's not on the ground floor.

I understand (feel free to correct me) is a foreigner could own soft title above ground floor in Daun Penh up to a few years ago, they then changed their minds and now you can't. And you can't sell your previously permitted soft title to another foreigner either. The current owners are a bit trapped.

This is the #1 reason I have never bought somewhere here and did it up to my spec. You simply cannot trust the government not to announce one day that all these schemes to get around the law are illegal and fraudulent and they will all get unpicked, very expensively.

There is no way on Gods green earth I am ever going to trust a Khmer to hold my property in their name.
