Condo in Pattaya, Thailand, 2 bedrooms № 235543

FOREIGN QUOTA — FREEHOLD IN YOUR OWN NAMEThe unit sits in the building's foreign quota and has been registered to the current owner personally since September 2021. No Thai company to set up and file for every year, no 30-year leasehold. This is stated on the title deed itself, which you read before anything is signed.THE BUILDINGThe Bayview Condominium 2 — completed June 2009, seven floors, and only 33 apartments in the whole building. Three apartments share this floor. Communal pool, gym, sauna, 24-hour security and CCTV, key-card access and covered parking; the owner has kept two cars there.A building of 33 units behaves differently from a tower of 1,800: the pool is rarely busy, and you know your neighbours.LOCATIONSoi Pratumnak 4, on the quiet side of the Pratumnak hill between Pattaya and Jomtien. Cozy Beach is about 1 km away. Phra Tamnak hill and the Big Buddha are a few minutes up the road, and Walking Street, Bali Hai Pier and Central Festival are all a short drive.THE VIEWFrom the terrace: the hill and the Big Buddha on one side, the city and the Pattaya Park Tower on the other, with the sea visible past the low-rise rooftops.STRAIGHT TALKThis is the 5th floor of seven, not the top. The sea is part of the view rather than the whole of it — look at the photographs and judge the outlook for yourself.The terrace is just under a quarter of the registered area. That is what makes the apartment live large, and it is also why the interior figure, 118 sqm, is quoted here separately rather than hidden inside the headline number.The building was completed in 2009. It has been looked after, but the finishes are of their time rather than brand new.The apartment is also offered to rent while it is on the market. Documents are checked together with you at the land office before any money moves. Viewings by appointment.
