Management Program

• PROJECT MANAGEMENT SERVICES AND FACILITIES

Intro
In order to maintain the high value of your property at ‘The Bell’, it is in the home owners’ interest to keep the entire project in immaculate condition at all times. Therefore, every owner will sign a management agreement.

Unlike many other projects whereby after construction the developer leaves the scene, the Asia Orchid Group Co. Ltd. will keep a strong control over the future of the project.
Asia Orchid Group Co. Ltd. will set up a professional in-house management team to ensure perfect maintenance and provide all other services that home owners require. We are not strong believers of an external management company as they cannot guarantee their fullest attention to “our” project. We believe that everything we do ourselves will be done more efficiently and professionally.

Asia Orchid Group Co. Ltd. will be directed by the Polfliet Family who will live in the project. This ensures that any problems can be dealt with immediately and resolved without delays. Furthermore, this presence guarantees that ‘The Bell’ will look impeccable at all times.

• EXPENSES

Common area management fees (CAM fees)
Each Owner shall pay quarterly in advance, an equal contribution (initially set up at 22 THB per sq. m. land area) towards the common area expenses as listed above in ‘Common area facilities and services’. Said rate shall be reviewed by the Management from time to time and the Management reserves the right to adjust accordingly.

Sinking Fund
Each Owner will also pay an initial amount of THB 100,000 into a common area sinking fund which will be used for any unforeseen eventualities together with periodic repairs outside the operating budget e.g. water pump replacement, repairs to electric transformer and all kinds of spare parts in the common area. This is an expense that is required by all developments but is highly unlikely to be used on a frequent basis.

Private utilities
Each Owner will be responsible for the cost of any utilities in respect to their own private property i.e. electricity, water, telephone, cable TV, Internet etc. and will be invoiced monthly by the Management.

Common utilities
Each Owner will be responsible for his part of the cost of any utilities in respect to the common area i.e. electricity and water and will be invoiced monthly by the Management.

Private garden maintenance fee The Management shall provide the maintenance for the gardens on the owners’ private property. For the maintenance of the private garden area a monthly private garden maintenance fee (initially set up at 21 THB per square meter (garden area) per month) shall be paid by the owner. Said rate shall be reviewed by the Management from time to time and the Management reserves the right to adjust accordingly. Garden maintenance is obligatory due to its importance in keeping an aesthetic view of the whole project thus maximizing potential revenue for all owners. Maintenance of each private garden includes regular watering and cleaning, twice a month maintenance (incl. inspection, fertilizer and trimming); for the avoidance of doubt maintenance of in-house plants is not included.

Insurance for the villa
It is obligatory that all the home owners take an “all risk” insurance, and all insurances should be with the same insurance company to protect the whole project and to avoid any insurance problems. The Manager will select a reputable insurance company.

Pest control of the private property
It is obligatory that there is a pest control from time to time for all the private properties, organized by the Manager to avoid disturbance of other villa owners.

Owners fund (THB 150,000)
As transferring monies on a monthly basis can be both tedious and costly, owners are requested to set up an ‘owner fund’ in which they can pay a lump sum from which all necessary expenses (incl. but not limited to the above) will be deducted. All monthly statements will be provided and owners will be informed when the fund reaches a low of THB 20,000 in order to top up their fund.

LEGAL

Purchase property in Thailand
Land:
By Thai law a foreign national is not allowed to own freehold land in Thailand. For a Foreigner this can appear somewhat peculiar. Thailand offers a secure alternative. Land can be leased for terms of 30 years, plus two additional prepaid extensions of 30 years each, thus totalling 90 years. The lease is registered with the Land Department and noted on the land title deed, thereby protecting you under the laws of the Kingdom of Thailand. Therefore you lease your land plot at ‘The Bell’ for 90 years.

Building
By Thai law, a foreign national is allowed to own freehold, a building or property developed on land leased by him. Therefore, you can own your villa at ‘The Bell’ freehold.

Land title search:
To ensure there were no legal problems with the land we, as the Developer carried out due diligence on the land. Renowned International Law Office “Belmont & Limcharoen” provided a full land title report that ensures that the Asia Orchid Group Co. Ltd. is the legal owner of the land and that there are no complications.

Land title of ‘The Bell’:
True land title deeds are officially called Nor Sor 4 Jor or more commonly Chanote. This is a certificate for the ownership of land and can be used as evidence confirming the right to government authorities. It is issued by the Phuket Provincial Land Office using GPS to accurately plot and survey the boundaries of the land. This is by far the most secure type of land title in Phuket and is often very difficult to find.

‘The Bell’ is built 100% on land with a Chanote title, thus giving owners peace of mind and full security of their investment. As a potential buyer you can consult our full land title report made by Belmont & Limcharoen International Law Office.
