Guide to selecting a piece of Phuket real estate that suits you
Considering some of these points will help secure you a holiday home that brings good rental returns and a property that your family and friends will love you for. The perfect get away year upon year!
There is plenty of property for sale in Phuket which will provide you with your idyllic holiday sanctuary.
Make sure that you spend some time in the area you plan to look for a villa. This is of course to ensure that you really do love the area and will be happy to come back again year after year. Of course once you own property you won’t be able to easily change where you stay so you must make sure you won’t get bored of the place!
Take extra care to better understand the complete cost in detail of maintaining a holiday home. Don’t forget that even though you may not be there, the property still needs to be tended and cared for. There will be some extra costs for managing the hotel remotely. Make sure it all fits comfortably into your budget!
The perfect holiday home will need the perfect guardian angel to watch over it while you are not there. Select a local property manager that will maintain your home to the highest possible standards. Any maintenance issues left unnoticed will cost more to repair in the long run and cause all sorts of nuisance if not resolved quickly. If you do not take care to maintain your holiday home you may find your holidays become more of a working holiday as you busily spend the first few days of your holiday maintaining your home from home!
When selecting your home being flexible about that area you want to live in compared with better options for long term rentals is something to seriously consider. On one hand you may love a particular location yourself, but another may be better for long term rental returns. Be flexible when choosing a location. Check on line to see what is renting and where, talk to local agents.
Peak seasons are the best time to rent your holiday home for the best prices. Try not to spend your holiday time in your holiday home over these peak seasons. So if you would like to maximise your rental income you might want to visit your holiday home outside of peak times.
Safety is important to everyone. Don’t forget to include in your budget a reliable security and alarm monitoring system. Fortunately crime rates in Phuket are very low.
Consider ease of access to your holiday home. If it is isolated then you will spend more time travelling and less time relaxing!
If you follow some basic guidelines and conduct modest research your chances of finding the perfect holiday will be well worth the effort.
