The Best Condos in Jomtien, Pattaya

Driven by high urbanization rate, new infrastructure development in the city and coupled with the potential for high capital growth makes Pattaya one of the most attractive places in the country to invest right now. Residential investment on the rise   Condos in prime locations and proximity to the beach have had increased sales performance in the recent years. The stunning high-rise views of clean beaches, well curated premises and easy maintenance services offered by grade A development projects in Jomtien have been attracting both local and foreign investors. With fewer freestanding residential properties available, a strong demand for quality properties and the tranquility of Jomtien Beach has established Jomtien as an increasingly popular choice for condo development by reputed developers. Jomtien, located about 5 km from Pattaya city, is a seaside township with an impressive beach that extends almost 6 km along the Gulf of Thailand, which falls under the province of Chon Buri. As a popular tourist spot, Jomtien is generally preferred for its luxury hotels, serene beaches and water sporting events. Apart from the pristine clear waters, Jomtien Beach is currently among one of the most sought-after residential property markets in the country, popular among both Bangkok residents purchasing holiday homes and retired expatriates. If you are a foreign investor looking to invest in condo developments, which are mostly located in prime real estate locations in Pattaya, Jomtien is an excellent area for investment in residential condos. There are about a dozen large property developers in Jomtien with a solid reputation and many completed projects under their belt. Making sure the numbers work With due diligence, buying a new condo from a reliable developer can be a straightforward process. Many condo units are sold by the developer before or during the build, and this often involves offering steep discounts to buyers. It usually takes between three to five years for a condo development to be completed from the time sales first begin through to when the construction has been completed. Provided all things go to plan, it could be lucrative to buy off-plan and selling the units at a profit when the building is nearing completion. To reserve a unit and sign the contracts, you often only need to make a down payment of 10-30% along with another 10-20% gradually over the course of a few years with installments payable monthly. Fortunately, the purchase of a condo in Thailand attracts minimal property taxes, however, of course, you’ll need to account for assessments and ongoing maintenance costs. While we want the condo to generate an acceptable cash flow over time, it is advisable to account for ongoing maintenance costs and vacancy for when times are dire. We find that setting aside at least 10% of the rent to cover for vacancy and an additional 10% to cover any maintenance costs, assessment, and association costs, will be a safe bet. If you choose to rent out your investment property in Pattaya, rental income taxes are extremely low as there are many deductions. Your exact amount of tax payable will depend on any deductions allowed. Large, reputed condo developers usually have fixed pricing outlining the details of the unit in the project, the features and amenities offered making it easy to calculate the gross rental yield.
