Buying an older 'used' property has it's advantages such as land size for example, I bought a property with the main house on and a seperate villa at the back for guests on 550 sqm of land in very good condition and needed very little cosmetic work and more to our personal choice than anything else, Yes there are brand new shiny boxes all in a row on new estates but you won't get that land size for under 2.5 Mil baht that's for sure.
