Tips for finding the right condo to purchase in Bangkok

Bangkok is one of the most vibrant cities on earth. It is a throbbing metropolis and somewhere that appears on the bucket lists of many travellers when they first start planning adventures. It is important commercially and in business, with many of the leading world organisations having some kind of presence in the city, while the infrastructure continues to develop at a rapid pace.

There is little wonder that many professionals look to relocate to Bangkok to earn their salary somewhere that offers plenty of things to see and do and where boredom is never an issue. Whether it’s the stunning architecture and culture, the captivating nightlife, or the tastes of the culinary delights served to the millions who live there. Finding the perfect place to live is extremely important, with condos at Origin Plug & Play Sirindhorn Stationnot surprisingly being in demand. But what considerations need to be made to purchase the ideal condo? Here are a few tips.

• Bangkok does provide certain challenges, meaning that finding a condo in the right location is vitally important. Such issues like noise pollution in the neighbourhood needs to be assessed to be able to relax. The traffic can be congested at times, so being near a BTS or MRT rail station adds value and convenience to a property. Condos have the advantage that they can be owned 100% by foreigners, whereas land and homes that stand on them cannot.

• Does the condo have the space required to make living there comfortable? Those who wish to work online from home might want to ensure that they will have room to make a small office area, while confirming that the highest standards of Wi-Fi access are available. Will there be plenty of natural light coming into the condo offering health benefits and reducing the need for artificial lighting which can push up the cost each month? Perhaps bamboo sheets will be used to ensure a perfect sleep.

• It is worth speaking to the agents selling the property and seeing all their available condos, as well as trying to negotiate some added extras in return for a quick sale. While at the same time finding out exactly what is included in the price, and what other fees might have to be paid. Are there any additional facilities or amenities that can be used as an owner, and what is the security like? Maybe features such as a gym, or discount to somewhere nearby might be included. 

• Asking about parking is also wise, especially if guests are likely to visit. Maybe a nearby attraction might add to the appeal. Does the condo have cooking facilities which could be more important to some than others, as well as a balcony to relax on as well as a water heater to ensure a hot shower whenever required are also worth factoring into the equation.

Checking out everything fully in advance to ensure the right facilities are provided will lead to an enjoyable life when purchasing a condo in Bangkok.
