nedkellylives Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 (edited) Firstly, why do you assume I'm a property agent? I am not. Secondly, why do you think an Australian property agent could do valuations on houses in Phuket? They could not, the market is totally different with no tradition of second-hand purchases and most houses on a street being completely different designs. Not like in Western countries. On estates, there isn't that problem and most people could to a valuation. Rgds, Evan Johns. Wrong, in australia they sell building vacant building blocks in new subdivisions and people chose the house they want from display homes built by different builders but in a groups of display homes about 30 different designs or more at varying locations which are open for inspection No such thing as new housing estates, only govt subsidized housing can be the same and is avaliable to people to rent or buy once people qualify as a land and house package, now the govt varies the house designs when building new homes You would find it hard to see two houses of the same design in any one street Edited May 14, 2014 by nedkellylives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post littleboylost Posted May 14, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted May 14, 2014 @ NKL: nobody is valuing anything here except you. So stop banging on about something only you're interested in, because you have done the same in Australia (BTW, we're on Phuket now). So you are happy to pay the asking price here,the majority of people want to know the real value if they intend buying Not the prices asked ,it take years for the property to get capitol gains or gain in value as a lot of newbie buyers have found out People are not happy if they own a property for a period of time and have to sell it at a loss as many did after the recession hit and they had to leave Thailand I am a potential buyer and you are not, so i will not pay more than its true value, maybe you would I prefer houses a few years old to buy so you can check for structural problems, seen plenty of houses 4 to 6 years old full of cracks some so bad the only way to fix the problem is demolish the building Now all the new buildings i have seen recently are cement rendered breeze blocks even the pools in some developments are made of breeze blocks not concrete with reinforcing bar called rebar i can only imagine the structurall problems in a few years time In plans aproved by govt here rebar is supposed to be used in the concrete, but the builders regularly use mild steel round which is useless for reinforcing concrete but cheap The only people here who only use rebar make the motorcycle side cars, if they usedthe cheaper mild steel round the sidecars would not last a day Hate to tell you this but rebar is just plain old carbon steel, or mild steel as you put it. It has a patterned surface so the concrete will adhere to it better. Rebar is the cheapest form of steel you can buy. Bars or rods are more expensive. I hate to tell you this but, try bending rebar with your hands, any reasonable size you cannot thats why its used everywhere in the world to reinforce concrete Try bending mild steel round with your hands, women have no problem doing it Mild steel round is cheaper than rebar thats why builders use it I have been in the steel business for 40 years. I know what I'm talking about. I am afraid you have incorrect information. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usasia8888 Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Nice looking girl, but assuming she is not part of the deal, does her presence make any sense marketing-wise? She only distracts, and might even negatively influence the prospective buyer's wife if her husband calls her over to have a look at this terrific opportunity. Agree. The advertising is terrible. If I showed this to my wife to buy (which we are not considering anyway), it would be DOA. Dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Numbers says more than emotions. Try to look around and check other projects and you will see our prices are the lowest in market. We do comparison from day to day when meeting with customers who visited neighbour developments, those people are real potential buyers. Company cost is optional, we have nothing to do with your company until you ask, you may have your own accounting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should not worry, you will never meet her What you will meet is real development at the best location in Rawai. You are welcome! You don't need to buy, you can come and look, just to know for the future. We will have two more phases with more than 40 units within next 3 years.

I see single brick walls, no concrete ringbeam on top of the walls.Is that the way they build 10 million Baht houses in Phuket ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"you will see our prices are the lowest in market." - but the WHOLE of the Phuket market is overpriced. Phuket has been selling on "emotions" for decades, but that time is fast coming to an end.

So, just do not buy for resale within 3 years There are always pros and cons. Look for the best place for your money, we just give another option to the market. And we offer something that others cannot do. If you don't like it, you have your right to pass it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NamKangMan Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 @ Phuket9 I am well known on this forum as perferring to rent, rather than buy, for the many "cons" that exist here for buying, which you admit in your own post. As a thaivisa sponsor, you are able to advertise on this forum, but that advertisement can also lead to criticism of yourself, and your development. Any criticism of mine is nothing personal, and I wish you all the best in your business. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any criticism of mine is nothing personal, and I wish you all the best in your business. I appreciate any criticism, we need it, thats why we are here We got very long thread here and lots of information to think about, thats just great, but criticism can be endless when the intentions are only to criticise. Same about our answers, I start to repeat... nothing new. So I am just asking to close this thread. I believe product is good, as I am part of team who created it, that wasn't easy and we are not looking for easy way, but we know what we want to do. We love Rawai, we believe it will be better and we believe in our project. We have everything to make it happen. Thanks to all respected members of this community for comments! We wish everyone happy live in Phuket. Kindly, Andrey Edited May 15, 2014 by Phuket9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
