RENTING THE HOUSE OUT

[Brit Jim]

Thinking to rent the house out!

I have potentially 3 or 4 good agents that I think i can trust down town.
The logistics of using these is going to be problematic as I'm in the Uk.
So it looks like I will have to use one agent.

Trying to decify my priorities? Does a good website get better results over location of a sales office?
Seem to be a glut of properties on the rental market. I guess with the current Bangkok situation things may change

Any experiences good or bad most welcome. Obviously we can not name and shame on here and i dont want that, but please feel free to PM me

Thanks for your time!

A lifetime's work!
Sorry

You can list the property on our database which gets more traffic than the agents because we market it via the forum. We need 5 images and a full description, all enquiries will come direct to you and we take NO COMMISSION.

Send us a PM or contact us if you are interested in this service.

A few points to consider:

Nail down everything you can in your house before renting

Prepare the house for renting, such as soft inventory (kitchen ware, bed linen/towels, etc). Make total inventory beforehand (assets and soft items). List of key-points throughout the house and garden for the tenant, such as sprinkler timing, pool pump, lighting on timer, etc.

Payment of utilities (elec/water/ubc/cable/internet) trough direct debit or who pays what?

How many people you want in your house. State it to the agent as well.

Pricing is also very important.

Rent period (short/long) to decide. The shorter the more maintenance for you afterwards

If you need anything else, please feel free to contact me.

Good Luck.

Hi

Thanks for the Pm's and posts

If i was out there full time then I'd manage the property myself like I already do in the UK, not difficult!

The responses that I have reinforce my thoughts on who seem to be good agents!

Just looking at some of the resale properties, some bargains to be had In the 5 to 6 million region.
Maybe some of our new Bangkok residents relocating to HH (who dont believe in ghosts) will snap these up. I guess one of the negatives of such an influx will be price rises across the board, property, lifestyle, etc. Time will tell

Hi Lippy,

Did you ever manage to find a good agent?
Were you going to do holiday or longer term letting?

I am considering letting my house, otherwise it's going to be lying empty for a long time.
Never a good thing to leave a property unoccupied long term, IMO.

Maybe you can PM me if you don't want to mention specifics.

Cheers.
