Buying Resale Properties in Phuket
If you can find what you are looking for this is should be quite a simple way to purchase property in Phuket. Buying a property on the resale market may be a good option if you wish to live in or very close to Phuket City and don't want to build your own, as most recent property developments tend to be situated further from built up areas of the island where there is more land available.
Provided that the building structure is inherently sound, repairs and renovations can be easily made and are usually modest in cost relative to overall value of the property.
Most property agents should have plenty of resale properties on their books. Another good place to search is in the classified section of the Phuket Gazette, the main local English-language newspaper. If you have local contacts try asking around as the importance of word-of-mouth in Phuket should not be underestimated.
