    If the yearly common fee isn't enough an emergency fund fee is requested so the common fee can be misleading, check the last AGM minutes and accounts to get a feel for the place.   I noticed

  • OP,  8 years later there should still be funds in the sinking fund to cover major repairs etc.   The original purchaser (from the developer) contributes to the sinking fund a one off payment

  • OP - Typically, these major projects, which cannot be covered by the sinking fund are voted upon by all owners in the Annual General Meeting.   Management Company (Typically a hired outside

You’re not looking hard enough

Indeed, that's because I don't like high rise buildings with hundreds of condos, so I don't even look at them. 

But thanks.

Low rise condos are less expensive than the high rise buildings so it sounds like you’re in luck.

Well I pay 25000 for 33m2 Sukhumvit 55 /Alley 8;

and move end of month to a 40m2 for the same price

Sukhumvit 55 / Alley 25.

I rent between 2 and 4 months each time, so  the choice is limited as

normally most want 1 year rent.

Yeah....it’s tougher to get the good deals when renting short term.  But for long term in the Thonglor area the prices never (or rarely) favor purchasing over renting.  I can’t imagine paying 12.2-13.2M+ (plus fees, monthly dues etc) for a 38.5sqm unit in the Esse 36 when I doubt they’ll rent for much more than 30-35k at the most upon completion.  Great for the renter...not so much for the owner.

i have bought several few years back and they tripled in values so who the the smart one now?

Please be so kind to give us an example where after a few years a condo has tripled in value. I can find where some have doubled in 15 years, but triple in a few years. I would love to know of them.

Have a great day
