Host of promotions as govt incentive about to expire

Most residential developers are running promotions at the “34th House & Condo Show”, being held until tomorrow at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Centre, while some are introducing campaigns separate from the event.
For example, Thanasiri Group is offering discounts, plus one baht weight of gold for every Bt1 million spent buying a home, as well as free air-conditioning and other accessories, at the show.
Sena Development is offering discounts up to Bt1 million for customers booking a home at the four-day event, while Quality Houses offers a similar deal during the show, as well as a free iPhone 6s 16GB for home-buyers.
LPN Development, meanwhile, has a special “Help you pay a half of monthly payment” promotion, as well as free mortgage and transfer fees for customers deciding to buy one of its condominiums at the event.
Eastern Star Real Estate will provide a gift voucher worth Bt30,000 for customers booking a unit at either of its two condominium projects, Vantage and Amber, where units are on sale for Bt3.9 million and Bt2.49 million, respectively.
Kanda Property offers free mortgage and transfer fees, discounts up to Bt1.5 million, and free furniture for bookings made during the show.
Veerakit Akeakkaravichit, chair of the organising committee for the “34th House and Condo Show”, has targeted up to 150,000 visitors and sales value of Bt3 billion during the event, as well as a further Bt7 billion being generated within a month of it shutting its doors.
“We believe many home-buyers will decide before the government’s measure, which has reduced the transfer and mortgage fee to just 0.01 per cent, expires at the end of April,” he said.
Meanwhile, some developers are also holding special campaign events of their own to speed up sales before the government’s incentive expires.
Sansiri’s “Cha Mod Od Mattakarn” campaign offers a free transfer fee for home-buyers committing to a purchase at any of its 12 ready-to-stay condominium projects, at a starting price of Bt1.1 million per unit, from March 11-13 at Siam Paragon’s Fashion Hall.
Land & Houses is holding a two-day “LH Happy Fest” this weekend for its 28 ready-to-stay projects, 26 of them in Bangkok and one each in Ayutthaya and Samut Sakhon provinces.
Special prices are on offer for units costing between Bt3.59 million and Bt40 million for detached houses, and Bt2 million-Bt7.5 million for townhouses.
Home-buyers snapping up a property will get the best price, the best location, free furniture, and a gift voucher worth Bt10,000, the developer promises.
Raimon Land, meanwhile, is inviting new and existing owners to enjoy special privileges to buy or furnish units at its Unixx South Pattaya project on March 19-20, with leading bank, furniture and interior partners available to provide advice and special offers.
“Unixx is already a popular choice for both Thais and international clients,” said the developer’s vice president for marketing, Kipsan Beck.
“Our ‘Open Home’ event brings together the best Thai banks with financing offers, gifts with purchases, and discounts of up to 5 per cent making Unixx more affordable than ever before; and best of all, visitors can buy and take ownership immediately, even within Songkran if they chose to!” he added.
