Shell properties

[Invicta]

View talay 5 has shell properties, anyone who has bought or has knowledge of rough estimate of shell to liveable condo excluding furniture, how much would it cost for a 48 sq m property

It's likely that the majority ( if not all ) the unfinished/unsold units , retained by the developer ,are more than likely  Thai quota units. 

There's even more of them at VT 7 I believe.

There are only Thai name shell units left at VT5.

There are still plenty of foreign name shell units left at VT7. The 48 sqm units in the central tower from floor 9 down - mainly the ones on the north side nearest the lifts - and nearly all the 114sqm units in the wings on every floor.

It’s ok, I can use Thai quota in my wife’s name if the sums work out

Hopefully someone who’s done it recently will answer your initial question. I don’t know how accurate, but a friend who’s owned condos here told me you need to budget around 1m baht to get a shell studio turned into a reasonable standard of unit. This was a few years ago.

1 million is too much.

I have two studios in VT5 D which we bought during Covid. As the the bathroom tiling was horrible, the kitchen furniture quite old, I ripped everything out, except for the AC, the washing machine, water heater, windows/mosquite screens and balcony tiles.

Afterwards it was basically a shell.

Finished product:

Total costs including furniture was 530.000 Baht.

Costs for items above 10.000 Baht:

Contractor: 186.000 (which included some building material, such as shower separation, paint and the extra costs to remove the old tiles and old furniture, .....

Kitchen: 100.000 without sink, faucet, appliances

Wardobe: 22.000

TV: 16.500

Floor tiles living area: 14.000

Sink set bathroom: 14.000

Fridge 10.000

Of course, you have to be careful with money, take advantage of special offers, compare prices, etc.

You can easily spend over 200.000 on a kitchen, 80.000 on a matress or buy leather sofas… then maybe a million is possible.

Indeed I was quoted 200,000 for just a kitchen reno by Kitchen Corner and that wasn't using their top quality cabinetry or anything fancy.
