Thread: Advice wanted. Potential rebuild.

300,000 will be the price I think. The biggest problem will be reliable supply sourcing at the right price. We're a bit out of the way. Labour's no worry, skilled labour will be another question. To be sourced.

Yup, I though the whole lot needed doing really. My thoughts were that if the roof don't leak you're on a winner. I was thinking Colourbond as is used in Aus.

is this somewhere that you'll be able to get a decent internet provider?

Anyway I'm going to bed. Thanks folks. This will run and run and I really appreciate your input.

Taraa.

Should be same as here, TOT, which is ok as we know the techies.

I think that you can make it work. Location is the key. Also make certain all the paperwork is in order! Don't trust what is written on the chanote, go to the government office and double check.

Additionally, I would have the land surveyed. The minimal cost could save you a heartache later on.

Good luck and keep us posted.

They now (Bluescope formally BHP) manufacture all of the colourbond panels in Rayong now. I think I have some information somewhere and I will locate it if you need it.

Once I saw same kind of project in finnish thai forum ! In the first fotos everything looks desperate but the last fotos prove that everything is possible to do.
At least you have to pay price of land which is minimiun price. Land price can change very much. If that place is possible for bussiness like opening small shop then price is higher than place for only living. Are there other possible buyer for that house ? If not then you deside price !
Something have to calculate for building too even it looks poor. Check concrete construction .... do you have to do it again ? If have to do then you could calculate only wood price. Wood is quite expensive even second hand. And if you have to do concrete job again then you could use old wood again. Sometimes it is easier to make new than repair old. But if concrete construction is properly (not broke = have rebar inside) and you like house ( dont have to make too much changes) then it is quite good idea to repair. As I told before about finnish thai forum there was man who made same kind of project about 450000 baht what you design now. Your house looks a little bit smaller and maybe 300000 baht enought for repair would be realistic. Then everything looks new ! Maybe you managed to got land and house under 500000 baht. Not bad price about nice old style house !

Not far off..... But what would you do with it?

Don't fok around. Just buy the place and start another building thread with daily photos.

That's the question. Rebuid or renovate? I'd rather renovate, see above. But I don't know yet. More research required.

Yes the view and location is what I like most about it.
