i would suggest clicking on the siam real estate banner at the top of this page. also you could try house in phuket. both very good sources.

Hi Donna

Looking at it right now, just wanted to see whats around

Save the commission and get out there and look about for the RENT signs & classified in the Gazette. If you feel like being lazy then it's +10% on your contract.

Are you looking for a detached house or a duplex apartment ? I can help with a duplex in Kata.

house in phuket does not take a 10% commission.

Oh .. now you have switched from Siam Real Estate. So what does Siam Real Estate and/or House in Phuket actually charge for their services .... ??

HEAPSA places in Phuket Gazzette.

Just bin looking myself.

I hope to go to Chalong area.

Good luck, matey

ive not 'switched' from anyone to anyone. just stating that i know that house in phuket does not take a 10% monthly commission. they take the first months rent as their fee and thats that.

im not sure what siam real estate take as commission so do not feel its my place to speculate on what they may take as a fee.

get it?

Donna, I really cannot understand why you even take the time to defend your sponsor's commission rates. Now you have switched to defending it's not 'monthly commission'.

Believe me, the first month up front payment (standard practice) = almost 10% for the first year. And don't bother answering that one month is slightly less than 10% (as in 1/12) as the rent price will have been inflated by the owner top cover the 10% (in the first year), so it's really a full 10% increase compared with renting direct from the owner.

house in phuket are not a sponsor. im not defending anything at all to be honest. merely stating what the fees are. there isnt such a thing as a free lunch. i think that most people on this board are intelligent enough to understand that they have to pay for convenience.

the owners of my house, for example, charge the same no matter where the tenants come from. if i had approached them directly, it would have been the same price anyway. as it is, i found the house through house in phuket. the service i got from them was great, and i dont care if the yearly rate is 10% higher (please, dont bother to correct my calculations) or not. i paid for a good service.

and, no. i wont 'bother' to argue against you. no matter what, if i say its black you will say its white anyway.

forum sponsorship has nothing to do with me at all. it all goes through sales.

HI

Had a good look around, Siam had a lot of nice houses i like,,,,,but i have a dog and 90% dont like dogs, house in Phuket, most of them i have seen is not really western standard, for me, i dont like a urinal in my bathroom, it belong to a bar. So still looking, i need a little land around thats why i want a house.

but will still pay a good price for the right house, and it really has to be in a secure area.

Hi

Yes i like Chalong and Nai Harn as well.

Having had the same problem like you (three dogs ) but at the end I found a great house:

huge garden with palm trees etc

quite, but central area

wall around the house

2 bedrooms

air

ubc

adsl

only one neighbour(and he loves my dogs)

gardener coming every 2 weeks

It took me about 2 weeks going around on a motorbike, asking in local shops, motorbike taxi drivers and looking for signs.

Then I've found it..............

and the monthly rental: 10000.-Baht a month!!!

Good luck for your search!

Hi

Have sent a few mails to real estate agents, guess what, no answer from any of them

Maybe they dont have so many houses for rent?

theres a house in my estate for rent. i saw a sign today, but its in ket hoe, not so far from central. i guess you arent after that area.

best thing would be to take a look around. or call the agents instead of emailing them. many companies here dont email.

Sure you can drive around and look for a house for rent it is sure easier to go with an agent and it should be noted that not everyone who has a house to rent puts a sign outside. Usually this is more low end rentals but some of the nicer places wont have a sign or if the house is located in a private estate then you would have to know from the owners if it was for rent.

Also if you are new to Phuket you may not know where to look, or what areas or good or just might prefer to have some service and not always save a few baht to DIY.

Its sounds like HDRider is open to a nice house and now is a good time to look.

I agree just wait till the right one comes along.

Good luck!

HI

Thanks Donna and Mister

Yes Donna, i want a house in the deep south, but thanks anyway.

Mister, i have been on the Island 6 years, just want the right house to come around, will wait if i have to, will pay up to 40.000 monthly, have seen a few in that range, but many with not so nice bathroom and kitchen, i mean a dark red bathroom and outside Thai kitchen for 38.000, well not me.

1 day the right one will pop up (i think)
