Introduction
This would explain the increasing popularity of บ้านมือสอง (second-hand homes) among home buyers trying to cut costs against the backdrop of an increasing interest rate in Bangkok. But not all resale properties are born equal. A quality renovation property provides the delightful character of an existing location and building, coupled with the polish of up-to-date living spaces. At Bangkok Assets, we recognize how crucial it is to select a property that fulfills your aesthetic and functional needs. Here’s a practical guide for spotting a quality renovated home worth buying.
-
Assess the Quality of the Renovation
The quality of renovation plays a key role in finding an excellent renovated บ้านมือสอง. Look beyond the surface. A coat of new paint and tiles may give a place an instant facelift, but you need to watch out for things such as:
- Structural Integrity: Are there cracks in the walls or ceilings? Do doors and windows operate freely?
- Workmanship: Look for alignment issues with tiles, paint edges, carpentry and the like. And so poor finishing can be a red flag.
- Material Use: Are quality materials used in the flooring, cabinetry and bath fixtures? Inexpensive substitutes may seem good at first but deteriorate rapidly.
Bangkok Assets specializes in housing that has been rigorously inspected and professionally renovated with durable, longevity materials.
-
Probe the Electrical and Plumbing Systems
Modern living relies a lot on reliable utilities. Well maintained houses will have wiring and plumbing that meets modern safety standards. You can check for:
- Power outlets located in the main rooms, such as kitchen and living room.
- Plugs are well-placed and properly grounded, and the circuit breaker panel is secure.
- No evidence of the water leaking under sinks or back toilets.
With Bangkok Assets, you can rest assured every บ้านมือสอง you find on our website has undergone comprehensive checks, including every major infrastructure systems added to the home.
-
Space Planning and Design
Older homes often have odd layouts that don’t suit our lives today. A properly renovated home should demonstrate carefully considered design changes, including:
- Open-plan living spaces** for improved ventilation and natural light.
- Updated kitchen areas** that integrate storage, meal preparation, and eating.
- Intelligent storage solutions** that keep the space organized and without clutter.
The standard renovated home by Bangkok Assets balances modern design trends with the character of the existing building.
-
Search for Renovations That Received Legal Approval
For this, if the renovation work is substantially altering the layout or extending the property, it needs to comply with local building laws. Always inquire if the alterations were properly permitted and what permits were pulled.
Bangkok Assets takes care of of all required paperwork, and ensures that every บ้านมือสอง is compliant with Thai housing regulations, giving buyers peace of mind and lowering legal risk.
-
Evaluate the Neighborhood and Amenities
A stunningly renovated home is only as good as the neighborhood it’s part of. Here’s what to consider about the surroundings:
- Is it near essential services** such as schools, hospitals and shopping centers?
- Is public transport readily accessible
- How safe and clean is the community?
Bangkok Assets has more carefully chosen homes in excellent locations with great access to amenities and infrastructure.
-
Ask for a Renovation History
It’s important to know the work performed on the renovation. A reputable seller or agencies such as Bangkok Assets will offer a list of improvements, such as:
- Electrical rewiring
- Repairs or replacements of the roof
- Plumbing upgrades
- Insulation and waterproofing
- Refurbishments of kitchens and bathrooms
Such transparency helps you get an idea of the home’s condition, and what maintenance lies ahead.
-
Get a Professional Inspection
Even if it all seems perfect, it’s best to get a professional home inspector. They can spot underlying problems that the untrained eye may not detect, such as foundation issues, pest infestations or mold in less accessible places.
At Bangkok Assets, a large number of our บ้านมือสอง listings already include professional inspection reports, so buyers can make an informed decision without the additional hassle.
