Key Takeaways
- • Common fees are charged per sqm of your unit, per month
- • Arrears accrue penalties and can block amenity access or a debt-free certificate
- • The sinking fund is a one-time payment at transfer for major repairs
Many buyers focus on unit price and installments but forget the ongoing common fee — the money that runs the lifts, lights, security and pool. Understanding it completes your financial plan.
How it is set
Charged per sqm per month — typically THB 35–70 depending on facilities. A 35 sqm unit at 50 baht pays ~1,750/month, which the juristic person spends on day-to-day upkeep.
Fund vs fee
| Item | When | For |
|---|---|---|
| Common fee | Monthly/yearly | Daily upkeep |
| Sinking fund | Once at transfer | Major repairs |
If you fall behind
Arrears bring penalties, suspended amenity access, and — crucially — you need a debt-free certificate to sell. Paying on time always wins.
