ctach 22.

anyone got a solution fot this? I need to pay the owner of my unit his share approx 1.6mill and then the balance to trendy on completion. Im trying to avoid flying from oz to hand over a cheque. they wont post a signed contract as they want the money first. If I transfer the money there is no gaurentee they will sign after? cant think of a way around this one except fly over.

This is the latest rmail from trendy sales office re completion (for what its worth)

Thanks for your replys however I didnt say it would get 45,000. The question is does anyone know what a fair rental would be? and yes i have seen older condos much bigger and much cheaper however I personally couldnt live in them but thats just me. some of those places 20 years old with extremely shabby furniture

anyone know what a fair asking price would be fully furnished ?

Hi mate,

You'll rent it between 30-35,000 Baht per month.

By the way, what's your unit number on the 11th floor? Is it a corner unit? Is it facing the back or front towards the Regent Developments??

Cheers.

thanks for actually reading my post before replying. its not a corner unit and its facing the back.

No wonder they sold it to you so CHEAPLY!

Unwanted units go cheap mate..........You obviously got a crap view. You get what you pay for!

All the best units were purchased 2 years ago.

So good luck with your new romping pad!

It was bought 2 years ago mate! never assume! first 4 letters ASS U ...LOL

what do the agents charge as comission on the rental?

The agent I went through for my current rental took one months rent (from the owner, not me).

The Thai agent I used took 10% of the first month rent (from the owner, not me) as payment for leading me to the unit (between Silom and Sathorn)

Taking $35K for such a service seems exhorbiant. Actually, at that rate, I think Im in the wrong business.

think you meant 3.5 k that would be 10% or you were paying 350.000 k bht rent which would mean you are definatley in the right biz!!!!

Jumped the gun a bit now i think of it, it will be at least 4 months before completion. would anyone consider the purchase of a 70m/2 1 bedroom 2 bathroom for 5mill bht a good deal? 11 th floor. also what would you think a fair rental would be. I had a look around a bit and stayed at the s.m grande in their 1 bedroom for 1 month. thay charged 45000 bht non negotiable even for 6 months. and i t was a bit crappy. other places around soi 8 11 etc are asking the same.

just inspected and bought a 1 bedroom. floorboards and bathrooms, kitchen etc all done in most units. 2 months max

I have got a great deal on 70 sqm 1 bedroom condo on the 11th floor in the brand new TRENDY CCOMPLEX in soi 13. its also a shopping complex and is really is 5 star and ready to open in 2 months. I made an offfer of 10% less than the asking price which were all similar and was accepted (paid 5 mill). it would be in my name only and the plan is to rent it for 1-2 years and then either sell or move in. i am semi retired and travell back and forward on business.

questions

1. is it a good time to buy in BBK

2. what are the pitfalls in purchasing a property such as mine

i know it is totally my choice but would love to get some feed back from more knowlegable folks

Im IN. just me
