Phuket Villas | What Are You Buying?

 Infinity Heights | Part 4

search_button.jpg

 

Many foreigners and business expatriates are buying Phuket Villas as second or retirement homes in Thailand, due to the islands’s popularity as a holiday address and improved access with direct flights from Europe to Phuket’s international airport.

First time purchasers often ask "What is a Phuket Villa?", the term ‘Villa’ however has been somewhat muddied up over time, since you’ll now find upmarket condominiums described as Villas to associate superior quality with the development and justify the higher price tag. Phuket Villas have been known as anything from cozy two bed cottages, mid sized three or four bedroom houses, or big luxurious seven to nine bedroom mansions.

Typically, ‘true’ Phuket Villas are situated in managed compounds and are broadly speaking more high-priced than apartments or condominium units, mainly due of the bigger land area occupied. Phuket has become internationally recognised for Villa estates such as The Samsara Estate, Phuket Pavilions, and Baan Thai Surin Hill due to to their excellence both in terms of quality of surroundings and quality of service and value offered to occupants.

A typical high end Phuket villa has up to 300m sq of interior space, two to four bedrooms with en-suites, a private swimming pool, gardens and includes sea and/or mountain views.  These types of properties have an big-ticket price tag though, starting at 40 million baht. Many are scattered in remote exclusive locations over Phuket, but with a developed infrastructure there is easy access to most facilities in Phuket including some of the best golf courses in the world.

So Phuket Villas these days, generally refers to groups of free standing homes of various size and quality, the more expensive condominiums, and semi-detached properties with 1 or 2 common walls as seen in the video for the luxury Infinity Heights development above. When you purchase a newer Phuket development like this, you’ll find that the project usually has its own rental scheme and maintenance program in place, to accommodate the foreign/expat buyer.  For more information about Phuket Villas visit www.phuketpropertydirect.com.

We will now reveal to you one of the best kept Phuket realestate secrets that you can still capitalize on if you really want to own your own piece of Phuket realestate. Phuket is one of the few remaining places where you can still purchase high quality property along with a perfect island lifestyle and be able to pay it off comfortably, whilst having it available for your own enjoyment over a long time period.

This means the astute real estate buyer can more easily afford one of Phuket’s most coveted addresses like the Infinity Heights Apartments, an exclusive development of 80 luxury residences with sweeping wide views from its hill side position over Bangtao Bay to the crystalline waters of the Andaman Ocean.

This development offers 2 and 3 bedroom apartments with 25 Penthouses, which enjoy expansive roof top terraces encompassing a tropical Sala, hard wood decking and a requisite plunge pool. The floorplans have been carefully planned to maximize space while including all the modern comforts you require to relax, enjoy and entertain.

How can you afford such a piece of Phuket realestate?

By taking advantage of the developer’s leaseback scheme, where the owner of the property enters into an agreement with the Hotel & Property Management Company to allow their property to be rented from a pool of available properties.

The property is still available to the owner to use for a period of weeks during the year and the remaining weeks are leased to non-owners, where a percentage of the rental income is then paid back to the owner. Anyone who enters the leaseback scheme must also buy a furniture package from the developer to standardise the units for lease.

The scheme runs for a period of two years at which point the owner has the right to determine whether to opt in or out of the current scheme at that time.

This is only one example of how appealing Phuket realestate can be for the investor or owner seeking the perfect tropical lifestyle. For more property listings on the island visit www.phuketpropertydirect.com
