Price 8,490,000 THB including VAT. A 10% reservation (849,000 THB) holds the villa. A further 20% (1,698,000 THB) is held by the buyer's lawyer and released when the 30-year land lease is registered in the buyer's name.

The building balance of 5,943,000 THB is paid in five stages of 1,074,600 THB as construction progresses, then 420,000 THB at practical completion and 150,000 THB after a 30-day snagging period. Construction takes about 12 months. Warranty is 1 year on finishes and 5 years on structure.

Estimated rental yield, by the developer's calculation: at an average of 6,247 THB a night and 70% occupancy, gross income is about 1,340,700 THB a year and net about 916,600 THB after 20% management and 156,000 THB of running costs, or 10.2% a year; at 50% occupancy about 6.9%. Land rent is not included. This is an estimate, not a guaranteed income.

The building is registered to the buyer as freehold, with the land on a registered 30-year lease, renewable. Land rent is 90,000 THB a year and starts after completion.
