Buying a condo is not the same as buying any other single-family home. You have to consider a number of factors prior to purchasing. Above all, you need to know whether you will be comfortable at home or it will cause much discomfort. As the Condo Charan [คอน โด จ รั ญ, which is the term in Thai] will be a shared piece of property with individual owners of each condominium, there will be a few things that you need to check out.
Proximity of neighbors
A major difference between a single-family residence and a condo is the proximity to your neighbors. It is absolutely possible to have multiple neighbors in the condos attached to yours instead of living in the personal free-standing residence. So ask yourself whether you will be comfortable with living so close to the neighbors. Some people don’t feel comfortable living in close proximity of the neighbors, especially when you have no idea how the neighbors will be.
Accepting the services
When you are going to stay in the Condo Charan, you have to pay the maintenance charges as a part of the association fees. But if you prefer to maintain your lawn, it will be pointless to pay for the maintenance charges that include the amount for garden maintenance too.
Arranging the finance
You must have a finance plan ready for purchasing the condo. But if you want financial planning instead of cash transaction, you need to know well that the condo community has the approval of the authorizing body that is going to disburse the loan. Without planning the finance, you cannot apprehend whether the procedure will be smooth for you or give rise to many difficulties. The assessment of the comfort level is highly essential.
