Looking at Property in Pattaya the Choice Is Yours

If you are looking at property in Pattaya the choice is yours! In this article we will look at the different options you have in terms of:
Rentals – If you are looking to rent property you have a choice of condo’s or houses. Let’s consider condo’s first:
Condo rental – This is generally broken down into short-term and long-term rentals. In terms of short rental this is generally for people who are looking for a “holiday let”. These units can be close to the beach, fully furnished, and offer you facilities such as swimming pools, spa’s and exercise rooms. The price for a short-term rental is obviously more expensive than long-term, but can be far better value than a hotel and much more personal.
If you have decided to spend 6 months plus in Pattaya then a long term condo rental is a great option. Dependent upon your needs you will find exactly what you are looking for. The vast majority of condominium complexes have 24/7 security, swimming pools, and exercise facilities which are included in the price, and you will often find an on-site spa where massage, and other treatments are available at reasonable prices. As you are staying in the city for an extended period you may wish to be close to the beach or further into town, the choice really is yours. This sort of option is ideal if you are living on your own, or with your partner.
House rental - If you have a larger family, or are used to living in a house, and would prefer this property option you will have no problem finding something to suit you. There are stand alone town-houses available as well as houses in gated communities. These ‘villages’ are excellent not only for families, but for couples who enjoy space, like a garden, but also have the option of using the communal swimming pool. You will find 24/7 security with plenty of space to park your vehicles.
Going up a step there are houses available with their own swimming pool, all mod-cons, and a really exclusive feel about them.

The other side of the rental coin is if you own a property  in Pattaya, and are looking to gain some income from renting. The rental market is vibrant, and by choosing the correct real estate agent to promote your property you will not only find they have a strong database of potential customers, but also offer a rental management service which means they will deal with all of the day-to-day issues, contracts and other related matters. This will leave you free to get on with what you do best while reaping the rewards of a monthly income.
