 Before
making decision to buy a condominium, some concerns many
buyers always have in mind are location and budget. Many
people may choose condominiums close to their work places.
Some choose ones close to schools, hospitals or department
stores. Price of condominium depends mostly on its location,
price of land, facilities, services and etc. Even though
the aforesaid concerns are important to condominium buyers,
there are still other significant information they should
not overlook when purchasing a condo, particularly condominium
details, documentation and other accommodations.

1. Space |
| Square Metres can be measured in numbers of ways in condominium
plans. Don't believe numbers presented to you. If exact measure
is important to you, carry a measuring tool, and work consistently
from the inside measure of condo apartments. Divide the selling
price by the number of square metres to arrive at baht per
square metre costs that you can use to compare with others.
|
2. Parking |
 Lot
You may check the parking lot comparing to room units numbers
to see whether the space can afford all drivers. Sufficient
space can reduce your worry about parking in case that you
have to come back late at night.
|
3. Construction |
| Construction of condominiums can vary dramatically. Concrete
is obviously more long-lasting and general than frame construction,
but "post-tension" concrete construction can have
problems requiring maintenance. Concrete is also an excellent
transmitter of tapping sounds. On the other hand, wood-frame
building can quiver when someone simply walks down a hallway.
Whatever the construction type, quality will be your best
investment. |
4. Utilities and Safety system |
 These
two issues are very significant for dwellers. Electricity,
water supply, emergency system, alarming system, security,
postal services, garbage services, and elevators are the list
about which you should seriously be concerned. |
5. Contract |
| Normally, most buyers do not pay serious attention to the
contract content due to its long details, legal wording, and
etc. The best way to reduce the problem is to acquire a lawyer
to give you an advice about your right. |
6. Location |
| Most condominium buyers forget to realize about the orientation
of the condominiums. How much is the degree of sunlight exposure
to the unit? Is there any strong exposure to your bedroom
in the evening of summer? You may like or dislike these situations,
so pay attention to the orientation of the unit. In addition,
the degree of brightness should be counted also. |
7. Age mix |
| Many people may wonder how come age has such an influence.
If you're an adolescent, do you want to live in a retired
area? Condominium projects can become small communities where
you can make many friends and enjoy social life, if you choose
the right one. |
8. Policies and Regulations |
 Condominium
policies and regulations vary among different condos and
you should know the details before making decision. Some
condominiums do not allow pet keeping, gas cooking, and
some even prohibit stuff moving or any construction during
weekends. Lastly, do not forget to ask for information about
monthly fee of center services. Some condos may offer reasonable
selling price, but call for very expensive monthly service
fee.
