HappyLarryToo Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 I am going to rent an apartment, house or condo in September for a year or longer. Probably something with 2 bedrooms. So I have a few questions regarding renting in Hua Hin: - how much can I expect to pay for utilities, using A/C and shower a lot? - if I rent from a real estate agency, who pays the commission? - any commonly known pitfalls to avoid? - any local reliable real estate agency with website? - anything else I should be aware of?

Popular Post SABloke Posted April 25 Popular Post Share Posted April 25 (edited) Showering won't make a dent as water is practically free. AC can run 500 - 3000 Baht depending on how many units are on. You shouldn't pay any commission to anyone (that's the owner's problem) What's your budget per month?

HappyLarryToo Posted April 25 Author Share Posted April 25 Thank you for your reply! I have been looking at places in the 30000 - 40000 baht range, but if I find something really incredible I can pay a little bit more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post rattlesnake Posted Thursday at 06:54 PM Popular Post Share Posted Thursday at 06:54 PM Check that the rental contract specifies the owner will pay common area fees. The owner is meant to pay them, but some will sneakily add a clause saying it's the tenant's responsibility. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luuk Chaai Posted Sunday at 01:52 AM Share Posted Sunday at 01:52 AM FYI July Aug Sept are the best shopping months.. lot's of open properties if you go to a real estate they will only show you their listings you can literally walk into any condo building and go to the rental office they will be all too happy to take you in and see what is available If you have a day or 2 to play around you can drive thru any of the small villages just off the main drag ( Phet Khasem Rd.) there are dozens and dozens of houses for rent just call the # on the sign out front .. 15k-30k no problem closer to the beach front the higher the price .. literally 5 minutes outside of city center is Khao Takiab some very nice buildings with rentals / pools and just for an FYI so you can see it in action check out this funny video from one of the locals on how to go house hunting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyLarryToo Posted Sunday at 06:27 PM Author Share Posted Sunday at 06:27 PM Thank you everyone for the info. I will be staying in a hotel, so I have all the time in the world to look around when I come to Hua Hin. There are a few condos that look promising based on location, so I will probably do as suggested and go and ask there directly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
