Why this resale

  • ✓ 105,000 THB per m², against 126,125 for the smaller studio B454 in the same building
  • ✓ Handover given as October 2026, so the apartment can be inspected before you sign
  • ✓ Furniture itemised in the seller material rather than described as a package
  • ✓ Leasehold; garden and sunset orientation on the third residential floor

A309 asks 3,150,000 THB for a 30 m² one-bedroom, or 105,000 THB per m², the cheapest metre of the three VIP Venus Karon lots listed here, and 20% below what the smaller B454 studio is asking per square metre.

Handover is close enough to change the diligence

The material gives completion as October 2026. On an assignment that is unusual, and it moves the work from paperwork to inspection.

Two years out, an off-plan buyer is underwriting a promise: a developer’s record, a penalty clause, a schedule. Two months out, the apartment either exists in a state you can walk through or the date has slipped, and finding out which is the first call to make, to the developer rather than to the seller.

If it is on schedule, this is one of the few assignments where you can check the things that usually cannot be checked: the actual outlook from the third floor, what the corridor and lift feel like, how the building has been finished, and whether the furniture listed in the pack is in the apartment. Take the list with you.

The Type A plan

VIP Venus Karon Type A one-bedroom floor plan
The Type A layout from the seller’s pack: living room, dining and pantry along one side, a bedroom zone with a wardrobe run, one bathroom with a separate shower, and a terrace across the front. The drawing carries no dimension lines, so ask for the dimensioned stack drawing for A309 rather than working from this.

The same drawing covers A603 six floors up, which is the point of the comparison on that page: the apartments are identical and the prices are not.

What is actually itemised

Most furniture claims in resale packs are the word “furnished”. This one lists the pieces: bed, sofa, lounge chair, dining table, wardrobe, white goods, air conditioning, a smart lock, curtains and blackout blinds.

That is better evidence than a package name, and it is still not a contract. Ask for the list as a signed appendix with fittings identified, then check it against the apartment on the visit. A furniture schedule that survives both steps is worth roughly what replacing it would cost, which on a one-bedroom is not a small number.

What the 28% is measuring

The discount is the largest of the three lots here, and the material gives the reason plainly: the seller needs to exit before completion. That is worth taking at face value rather than reading as a signal about the building, because an assignment sold two months before handover is by definition a timing problem rather than a valuation one.

It does mean the counterparty is under pressure, which is information you can use. Ask when they need to complete, then decide whether speed is worth more to them than the last hundred thousand baht. A seller with a date has a reason to answer.

Before you reserve

  • The developer’s current completion date, in writing, from the developer.
  • A viewing of the actual apartment, with the furniture list in hand.
  • What the third-floor outlook faces, seen rather than described.
  • The statement of what the seller has paid and what remains.
  • Written developer consent to the assignment.
  • When the thirty-year lease term begins, and who registers it.

What a one-bedroom has to do in this bay is set out in Karon Beach property guide; the building itself is on the VIP Venus Karon project review.

Frequently Asked Questions

At 3,150,000 THB for 30 m² it works out at 105,000 THB per m², against 139,667 for the identical Type A one-bedroom A603 six floors up and 126,125 for the 24 m² studio B454. It is also the largest discount of the three at 28%, which says something about this seller's timetable rather than about the apartment: the material gives the reason as needing to exit before completion.

It turns most of the usual off-plan diligence into a site visit. A date that close means the apartment either exists in a state you can walk through or the schedule has slipped, and both answers are useful. Confirm the current date with the developer rather than the seller, then go and see the unit, the corridor, the lift and what the third-floor outlook actually faces.

The seller material itemises it rather than calling it a package: bed, sofa, lounge chair, dining table, wardrobe, white goods, air conditioning, a smart lock, curtains and blackout blinds. That level of detail is worth more than the word furnished, but only if it reaches the contract. Ask for it as a signed appendix with the fittings listed, and check the list against the apartment when you view it.

It is the cheapest of the three positions on offer and the material describes the outlook as garden and sunset. What that means in practice depends on what stands west of the block and how much of the garden the third floor actually sees, neither of which is in any document. Since the building is close to handover, this is one of the rare assignments where you can simply go and look.

The developer's current completion date, the statement of what the seller has paid and what remains, written consent to the assignment, the furniture appendix, and the terms of the lease including when the thirty years begin. On a contract this close to handover the registration mechanics matter more than they would two years out, because they are about to happen.
