House evaluation

[teppo42]

Can anyone help? I will need to get a townhouse in Buriram evaluated. That is, I need to know the market value for the unit. We are not actually going to sell it, but there is a need to know its value fairly accurately. Is there a tax value for a house, and would it be anywhere close to the actual market value, and would that value be publicly available in some record office? Might there be real estate pros who might be available to evaluate the house (I suspect they might be less than eager to do that since the house won't actually be sold so there won't be a commission...)
Even a fairly educated guess based on the condition and location of the house might be enough.
How about a plot of land somewhere in Buriram? How to go about finding out how much that is worth?

Put up an ad that it is considered  for sale and see what happen.....
Guess that is the best way to get a correct marked value--what other People are willing to pay :-)

Perhaps tell a property agent that you are considering selling and want to know the value. Your choice on whether you go ahead and place on the market after getting a valuation.

Thank you. As I am not in Buriram and the house is not mine, it might be a bit suspect if I tried to put it on sale. :/
I did try to find similar houses on sale online, but I think that most of the ads are in Thai since nothing really comparable turned up in English. I did email one real estate company but I really don't expect an answer from them.
I don't know enough Thai to try to find any listings in the language. But if anyone knows a webpage with Buriram property listings in Thai, I could try to browse there in case something similar (location/age/condition) is listed. The only even slightly similar listings in English were on new(ish) townhouses, and from them it seems that a new two-storey townhouse should go for about 2 mil. Does that sound about right maybe? So any guesses on a townhouse from maybe the 90's? Half that or maybe even less?

Teppo: I will agree that you should contact Hywel Williams. He is active in listing and selling land parcels, complete homes, townhouses, and condominiums. The tax office figures might not be a good guide.

Thank You everyone. It seems that I accidentally chose Hywel's company to send the email to. We have exchanged a few emails already. Let's see if we can get this to work somehow.
