Tourists and Ex-Pats Are Often Amazed By The Prices

Tourists and ex-pats in Thailand are often amazed by the prices, especially when compared to back home. At the start, this is as simple as enjoying a few more luxuries, such as exotic meals and treats. However, after a while, it inevitably dawns on them that maybe there is even more available at these great prices. This is when people start to look at investments, like gold, jewels and property.

Property in Thailand is surprisingly affordable. This is due to a low cost of living and lower labour rates than in the west. Things in Thailand are generally cheaper and hence very nice properties can be purchased for very reasonable prices. All types of property are available, from mansions and houses, to single bedroom en-suite apartments.

One of the more popular options for investments and homes are the Condos for sale in Jomtien. This is because of two major factors. The first of these is that condos in Thailand are able to be owned in a non-Thai persons name. Hence, there is no need to set-up a company, or put it in a Thai persons name, as most people will be able to buy the condominium directly under their own name. The second factor is that property is a little cheaper here, despite being located in a very nice area and having access to some amazingly high quality restaurants.

If you are looking for a condo inJomtien, then it is wise to use an agent that knows the area well. This is because you can save a lot of time by simply explaining what you want and what your budget is, then let the agent do the investigative work. They should then be able to show you the options and highlight the positive and negative aspects of a location.

When searching for a reliable agent, be sure to research online first and talk to a few previous customers (if they permit this). Also, when you go to see a location and you like it, but sure to go there at different times. Checking a location on a weekday maybe very different to that of a Friday night. Once chosen, an agent will also help you to process the paperwork and property transfer, removing a lot of the stress of buying and allowing you to enjoy the experience.

If you do decide to buy property in the Jomtiem area, you will be joining many other foreign investors who have fallen in love with the resort.
