rct. i wish you the best of luck. i'm also hoping that all of you who put up 36K for your outside amenities still have them when the porject is finished and the project developers have moved on. these same developers have abandoned their responsibilities to first home village. all i can say is buyer beware.

LONG TERM MAINTENANCE OF HOUSING ESTATES

Owners must pay common area fees to maintain the estate. The developer sells houses and they do not include in the price "perpetual maintenance." If owners pay annually and actively manage the state with a committee, the assets are protected and will go up in value. At Le Cellini, at least the beginnings seem worth it to me, eg landscaped greenery along all roads, underground electric, tighter than normal security for Udon, etc.

At First Home, how many homes are there, and how much does each home pay per year for common areas? What percent of owners do NOT pay? What is the annual operating budget and is it enough?

Please visit Le Cellini and the guard will show you the sale office in the clubhouse for a tour. Then discuss more specifics on what you see and learn and compared to other Udon estates. I appreciate reading pros and cons, good and bad, the forum is meant to share correct information to help others and of course I may have a bias on this subject, though am also curious for future investments and to help friends who may not want to spend so much as here.

le cellini is quite probably the best housing estate in udon with regard to the overall
infrastructure of the project and the quality of the dwellings - and quite rightly so as
they have a very hefty price tag compared to anything else in udon, the location is also
a big plus for anyone wanting to live in the center of town. Providing that the houses and
shop houses are occupied by the owners then the estate should remain in pretty good shape,
- if the owners start letting out the properties to thai families then there's a good chance
the place won't remain in tip top condition for long. The tenants will not spend a single
baht on the upkeep of the estate unless they have to. It's a bit different with falang tenants
as they tend to treat rented places as their own.
