Final Thoughts

We hope you enjoyed this month’s newsletter.

Those of you who have been to our Soi Diana office recently might have noticed the construction that is going on at the intersection of Second Road and Soi Diana. I wish I could say it is almost over but it is just getting started and will likely be like that for a while.

We would like to invite you to use our Welcome Town office during the construction. It is easier to park and the staff is ready to help you. There is both sales and admin staff there so they can accept rental payments or help you find or list a property.

As always, thank you for reading the newsletter and remember to contact me personally at kevin@coastalrealestatepattaya.com if there is anything I can do for you. Or better yet, stop by our office on Soi Diana next to Megabreak or at our office in Welcome Town.

However, with competitive rental prices, many choose to rent. The lifestyle flexibility of renting property in Pattaya is a major advantage for some, because they can move to another property easily and simply at the end of their lease. People with families and other long-term commitments often like to make the property their forever home, with various upgrades and renovations that fulfil their vision of the perfect place to live, which is not generally possible to do in a rental property. Ultimately, it’s all about the desired lifestyle, long-term goals, and their current situation as to whether renting or buying is the best option.The Bottom LineRenting property in Pattaya offers ultimate flexibility and lower upfront costs.

Foreign investors are particularly drawn to buying property in Pattaya due to its consistent growth, vibrant social scene, stable rental market, and dependable profitability.

Some key trends in the property market for expats when considering property for sale in Pattaya include:Rising property pricesAs the demand for quality Pattaya real estate for sale continues to grow, the price per square meter for condos is keeping pace.High potential rental yieldsMany areas already offer impressive returns for rental properties, and more are being developed and improved constantly.Government regulations and policiesTaxes and local regulations shape the market to incentivize foreign investment.Legal ConsiderationsSpecific restrictions and opportunities apply to foreign investors when buying property in Pattaya, as follows:Condominium ownershipForeigners are restricted to owning a maximum of 49% of the total area in any condominium building, ensuring that the majority of ownership remains with Thai nationals. This creates a highly competitive foreigner quota market, often driving up unit prices.

Finding the Perfect Condo for Sale in Pattaya, Thailand

Mar 01, 2025

If you’re looking for the best condo for sale in Pattaya, you should be prepared for a lengthy search, as the choice of first-class properties in this corner of Thailand is truly exceptional at the moment. There’s a great mix of modest and luxury condos for sale in Pattaya central and further afield, spread over a variety of developments. Some of these developments are still under construction, with others being a mix of newly completed and older, well-established condominiums. But finding the best condo for sale in Pattaya doesn’t have to be an arduous task if you approach it in the right way.Why Pattaya is a Prime Location for Condo BuyersBefore we share our top tips on how to find the best condo for sale in Pattaya, let’s consider for a moment why this part of Thailand is such a great place for real estate. If you know what makes a condo for sale in Pattaya or Jomtien a more attractive property investment than a condo for sale elsewhere in Thailand, you can focus your search on units with an abundance of the most highly prized qualities.Firstly, Pattaya is, of course, a coastal resort, which makes it an appealing location for all types of buyers. If you can find a suitable condo in Pattaya for sale at a competitive price, it’s well worth your serious consideration for this reason alone. Secondly, it's the site of some of the best new condominium developments in this part of the world. The average condo for sale in Pattaya is built to a higher quality and finished to a better standard than many comparable properties across the region. There are many other reasons that a luxury condo in Pattaya, for sale at the right price, could be a fantastic investment opportunity, not to mention a great holiday apartment or retirement unit. Because it's a well-established resort town, there's a mature tourism infrastructure that ensures visitors from overseas are always well-catered for. There are also excellent links to Bangkok airports, so it will be easy to come and go once you find the right condo for sale in Pattaya and make your offer.Key Factors to Consider When You Buy a Condo in PattayaIf you want to find the best condo for sale in Pattaya, we recommend that you consider the following key factors as you search for suitable properties.LocationAn experienced real estate agent such as ourselves can tell you the best areas to buy a condo in Pattaya from an investment potential, but we can't tell you which areas will be most suitable for you to live in. For that, you will need to do your homework, both online and on the ground if possible.The BuildersWhen evaluating each condo for sale in Pattaya that you visit or find online, don’t forget to make a note of the development company responsible for building and finishing them. You can research these companies afterward and identify the ones with the best reputations.Maintenance FeesWhen trying to compare Pattaya luxury condos for sale and decide which one suits your wallet best, it's tempting to focus solely on the sale price. However, don't forget to consider the annual maintenance fees too. These will have to be paid every year that you own the property, and if a little on the high side, they could become onerous over time.Apart from the above factors, you should also consider the legal ramifications of making an offer on a condo for sale on Pattaya Beach Road or elsewhere in the city. Certain documentation requirements must be fulfilled: a task that’s easier to complete with a reliable real estate agent to help you.How to Find the Right Condo for Your NeedsIn our experience, the best way to find the right condo for sale in Pattaya - a property that meets all your needs at the right price is to spend some time on the ground here, talking to local property agents, visiting new and existing developments, checking out local amenities and talking to other expats who live here.Ready to find your dream condo in Pattaya?

How to Avoid Common Pitfalls When Buying Property in Pattaya

Feb 12, 2025

If you’re in Thailand looking to buy property, Pattaya is sure to be on your radar. It’s a very well-established coastal resort in the Gulf of Thailand, which means it has pretty much everything you could want in a second home and more besides. There's sun, sea, and sand aplenty and, crucially, a good supply of high-quality housing. But before you buy property in Pattaya, there are a few common pitfalls you need to be aware of.Understanding Legal Requirements and Ownership Laws in ThailandIt is, of course, possible for foreigners to buy property in Pattaya legally and live in it afterwards. However, there are rules and regulations governing foreign property ownership that you need to be familiar with before venturing into the local real estate market. Not all properties in Thailand can be directly owned by a citizen of another country, so it's important to do your research before transferring money into the country and making a serious offer on any property for sale in Pattaya, Thailand.Condos - As long as the foreign ownership quota (49% in each development) hasn't been exceeded, you can buy a condo in any development in Pattaya. Certain documentation requirements must be met, but with the right real estate agents helping you, once you're in the country, it's a relatively straightforward process to buy property. Pattaya is home to numerous property agents, but not many can boast our unique combination of local knowledge, real estate expertise, and passion for customer service. With us on your side, you can look forward to an enjoyable buying experience from start to finish.Land and Houses - At the time of writing, it’s not possible for foreign individuals to directly own land in Thailand. However, there are some legal workarounds that can be employed if you wish to buy a home with land in Pattaya or elsewhere in the country. For clients interested in Pattaya property for sale with land, there are several ownership options that can be explored. These include Thai company ownership, leasehold agreements, and marriage to a Thai national. For more information, please call or message us.If you research Thai real estate laws before you buy property, Pattaya is one of the best places in the world to acquire a retirement home or second residence. On the other hand, if you fail to do your homework, you could make a very expensive mistake. Team up with a reputable real estate agent to ensure that you’re not caught unawares.Choosing the Right Location and Property Type for Your InvestmentIf you can successfully negotiate the legal system when you buy property in Pattaya, you’re halfway to achieving your goal. However, there are other pitfalls waiting to catch you out if you take your eye off the ball, such as poor locations and the wrong property types. Before you start visiting Pattaya property agents and asking to see the best homes in the area, you must know what you’re looking for and where you would like to focus your search.Location - We always recommend visiting properties before making an offer. Even when buying off-plan, it’s crucial to visit the site before you buy property. Pattaya boasts many beautiful residential developments in fantastic locations, but there are a few lemons too. Visiting each site and familiarizing yourself with the area as a whole will help you avoid locations that are clearly not up to scratch.Property Type - The type of property you buy has legal implications, as discussed earlier. However, there are lifestyle implications that you also need to consider before embarking on a serious search for property to buy in Pattaya, Thailand. A condo by the beach may be the perfect investment for a solo traveler or couple, but for a large family, a luxury property with a garden could be a much better proposition. Take some time to think about what you really need.Avoiding Overpriced Deals and Ensuring Proper Due DiligenceHaving found the perfect property in the perfect location, you need to ensure you’re getting a good deal before making an offer. It’s always crucial to research the local real estate market thoroughly before you buy property. Pattaya boasts many condos and houses at good prices, but there are always overpriced properties on the market as well. By researching Pattaya property prices first, you can avoid making a bad investment.The easiest way to avoid common pitfalls when buying property here is to contact the best real estate property agents in Pattaya. Whatever you’re looking for, we’d be delighted to help.
