This is how it goes in the movies: Young family buys mansion in idyllic countryside at a mind boggling steal. Estate agent assures them it's so inconceivably affordable because the owner is an eccentric yet fun-loving philanthropist - so they move in. Two weeks later, blood starts pouring out of the kitchen faucets and the youngest child is overheard giggling with a malevolent entity living in the attic. A few hours later, they all run out screaming into the overgrown pet cemetery that also happens to be their garden.
It's ฝากขายที่ดิน particularly catastrophic to make a wrong move when investing in property. So if you're looking at buying a home and you stumble across one that seems like an insane, once in a lifetime bargain, check for the glaringly obvious signs that it might just be too good to be true, and run. Here's why the house you've been looking at is so cheap...
1. A stigma-inducing event occurred in it
No matter how grown up and mature you are, finding out that someone died in a room you regularly spend time in is always a shiver-worthy affair. If the property you're after is cheap and the estate agent never wants to show you around after dark, you may want to do some digging to find out why. It could be a sweet and simple story, the original owners died of old age while lovingly holding hands in the room at the top of the stairs... or a hermit dressed as a clown died in the bathroom clutching a cat. You never know.
2. The neighbourhood's gone to the dogs
You might not know the area very well. Maybe a friend lived there when you were kids and you've got sweet old memories of friendly neighbours, lush parks and tree lined streets? Things change though, and some neighbourhoods just don't hold their charm like others. If you're being offered a ridiculously low price on a house in an area you're unfamiliar with, it may be because the local kids are knife wielding gang-bangers with criminal records and the neighbour's house is a fully functioning meth lab.
3. An unsavoury character might live in the vicinity
Ever wonder where suspected serial killers, child molesters and religious extremists move when they've been shunned from their own communities or let out on bail? If someone's offering you a house at a price that's literally never been heard of before, chances are, it's right across the road from you - so you can see into each other's kitchen windows.
4. Something's going to break soon
The water-well they told you about in the property brochure has probably dried up if you've paid a massively low price for your house. That 'stately' driveway is probably a dirt road and the wildlife they mentioned is probably a bat infestation in the ceiling. Everyone knows that estate agents embellish the truth when trying to make a sale, relying on clever use or words to glamour potential buyers into falling in love with a property - but if it sounds way too good for the price, perhaps you're getting more floor-rot than you bargained for.
5. They know something you don't - maybe the whole neighbourhood knows except you
In six months time, a massive train station is being built just down the street, or an entire strip of brothels and booze stores are opening up across the way. Maybe a seriously horrible development is on its way and you don't know. If you sign on the dotted line for a house you got for virtually nothing - don't be surprised when you discover that planes fly really low over it every morning at 1am.
