Local property developer, WorldBridge Land, Co. Ltd., and Singapore-based construction company, Strait Construction Group Pte, Ltd, last week announced a $100 million Memorandum of Understanding on affordable housing with the government. Singaporean developer HLH Group Ltd also announced its entry into the Cambodian property market with the launch of CamHomes in June of this year, a real estate agency under the company, Public Housing Development (Cambodia) Ltd. While at the birth of both of these recent ventures, government representatives have announced their goals of developing policy for constructing public housing for low-income and lower middle-income earners in Cambodia, there has been no indication as of yet that these two recent agreements with private companies reflect this policy directly. Yet, a Google search reveals that the terms ‘affordable housing’ and ‘public housing’ have been used synonymously by local and regional media to describe the very same projects.Per definition however, ‘public housing’ refers to a form of housing tenure in which the property is owned by a government authority.Supporting a lack of clarity surrounding the government’s direct ownership of new housing projects, at last week’s signing of the Memorandum of Understanding between the Government, WorldBridge and Strait Construction, Im Chunnlim, senior minister of the Ministry of Land Management, Urban Planning and Construction, reiterated that Cambodia’s government has drafted a policy on housing which indicates seven choices to solve housing issues, one of which shall be a collaboration with the private sector. Im added that in the draft policy, companies can give part of their housing to the government to sell to the middle class; the government can give a piece of land to a developer to build housing for the middle and lower class by requiring them to sign up for a long-term mortgage without interest; or the government can allow for infrastructure and social development in the case that the developers have a piece of land or enough capital to invest. But in return developers must give a certain area back to the government to use as housing for the middle and lower class. Yet despite this statement, there has been no public clarification as to whether any such direct terms were stipulated in last week’s MoU. Upon further email enquiry yesterday, WorldBridge chairman Oknha Sear Rithy told Post Property that his investment had already shaped into a construction plan saying there would be two townhouse projects in the southwest of Phnom Penh and they “should finish by the end of 2017”. The land, he added, was owned by the developer and not the government. While the investment volume of $100 million and the construction details are clear, the price of individual units, the amount of subsidies going into them and who will pay the subsidies is not, according to the Oknha, who added that these questions are currently being discussed. [caption id="attachment_79077" align="aligncenter" width="553"] Public housing in Hong Kong.[/caption] What also remains unclear is the mechanism, through which subsidies could be raised. An employee of WorldBridge mentioned to Post Property on the phone that taxation relieves on imported construction material could be a form of government subsidy that would pay for the discount on the original price per housing unit. In addition to that, construction permits could be granted to the developer for free. Whether these subsidy mechanisms – which were not brought up in senior minister Im’s rundown of subsidy solutions – would suffice for subsidies in housing units, Oknha Rithy said he could not comment until “after our team finalised it”. Other than knowing how much a housing unit could cost and how it could be subsidised, it would be important to decide which people in need would benefit from the programme and if the administration to decide would be in place. To that the Oknha said: “Next year we will start the first project. While the scheme of subsidies is still in discussion, I hope to have concrete information by the end of this year.” Considering all the uncertainties revolving around the MoU, a successful partnership between the private sector and government to build public housing seems up in the air. If the government does not have the means to pull their weight in the scheme, WorldBridge could at least complete the project and see the housing units without subsidies, according to Oknha Rithy. “Yes, we can stand alone but I am sure the government is supporting us and will cooperate with us,” he told Post Property yesterday. On Saturday September 26, Deputy Prime Minister Sar Kheng, spoke at the launch of the CamHomes showroom. He called CamHomes D’Seaview development in Sihanoukville a step in the right direction to home ownership, saying, “[In the] Cambodia context, a supply of contemporary housing to accommodate growing middle income populations is still one of the major developmental challenges facing the Royal Government of Cambodia.” He went on to say that CamHomes was said to fall in line with the National Public Housing policy currently in the process of development by the Ministry of Land Management, Urban Planning and Construction – a plan which he expects to see the results of in the next few years. While CamHomes’ approach may be in line with a policy that may take years to materialise, one has to note that CamHomes is a developer realising its project with private sector funds. Deputy Prime Minister Sar Kheng also noted at the CamHomes launch that while the construction and property sector has substantially relied on the private sector for investment projects, the government has been actively promoting an investment climate conducive to the growth of the market. Dr Peng Hong Socheat Khemro, general director of the Ministry’s Housing Department for the Ministry of Land Management, Urban Planning and Construction, officially spoke with Post Property in May 2015 regarding the planned public housing policy. When asked about the progress of this strategy in May, Dr Peng Hong Socheat Khemro said that “Our first job is to develop the mechanism. Our second job is to educate national, provincial and commune-level government officials about what we are trying to do. We will move on to the construction trial stage only when we have the mechanism and the ability, which will possibly begin in 2017 or 2018.”Thus, affordable housing appears to remain the initiative of the private sector in Cambodia.

Kim Heang, owner and director of Khmer Real Estate became president of the CVEA (Cambodian Valuers and Estate Agent Association) a month ago, scoring 18 of 49 votes. Announcing the time for talking was over and it was time to act he has stirred up the CVEA. He pushed through votes on service fees that some members complained about and two vice presidents resigned around his inauguration. They have been replaced by Kim’s private sector competitors. Each of them has a specific target sector to win over for CVEA, namely condos, boreys, embassies and banks. Kim claims the entire voter base of 49 is behind him instead of having cliques that block each other. A CVEA founding member, he is determined to evoke change and ‘bring CVEA onto its next level of professionalism’. Post Property met Kim to follow up on his promises of unity and education, his difficult inheritance and his vision for Cambodia’s real estate market of the future. With your predecessor Sok Bun being in jail due to a scandal of a violent outburst do you feel that you are accepting a difficult inheritance? How has the association suffered from this blow and what are you going to do to make it better? Some people say he became the president at the wrong time, and some people just see the damage to the reputation caused by him. We have to accept that he has done positive things too; at least he supported CVEA with $50,000. We still have some money from him. Maybe he does not have a good relationship with the local media, but all media are my friends. If he didn’t have to leave office I could not have become president. Now the members may think it’s good to have a president who is not rich or an Oknha. What are your goals for the presidency? I will be president for one year and two months, so I know if I want CVEA to run smoothly, it needs money. Without money, you cannot do anything in Cambodia. After checking with my accountant, I found out that every year we need around $25,000 to $30,000 for operation. So my first priority is to get funds for CVEA. As CVEA is a non-profit organisation, we will die without sponsors. But we have been around since 2008 and real estate organisations want to be a part of us. We have talked to some developers and they are happy to fund us. My second priority is to build a united team. As president, I have the right to select the vice presidents to support me. Instead of choosing my friends to sit for the vice presidents, I asked my competitors in the election campaign to be my vice presidents. I got 18 votes out of 49 votes in the election. If I asked my friends to become the vice presidents, there would be a problem for CVEA. As my competitors have their own supporters, if I ask them to become my vice president, their supporters will also come to me. Now I can get all the supporters and we are united. Then we have to do some promotion and bring our members to our business partners. Under the lead of our vice presidents, our members have met all the foreign embassies, talked to some bank directors and visited many condominium and borey projects. This is especially important to small companies as they do not have many of these opportunities. How are you going to improve the position of smaller real estate companies as you promised when you went into office? Banks are willing to talk to some large real estate companies, but banks do not know who the small company is. That happens a lot, in property. Five companies account for 70 per cent of the market. Members of CVEA, no matter which company they are from, can get one month of commission. Others only offer half month’s commission to small companies. For small companies, if they are alone, they cannot get access to finance. But as a CVEA member, they can. Small companies have limited knowledge, a disadvantage. There is a need to educate the people. How are you going to tackle your pledge to develop a training centre? What are the standards you aim for? Some members suggest that CVEA provides training and does the training for profit. However, we already have some members working on this. If CVEA does the same that means CVEA is competing with its members. CVEA does not need profits, so we let our members provide the training. If these companies need our support to provide training, we are happy to do so. But we have to see what the curriculum is about and who the teachers are as what I have told to those companies who want to cooperate with us. However, until now no one has sent me the details or curriculum of their training but we will give them some time first and wait until the end of this year. Otherwise CVEA will do the trainings by finding partners from Singapore and Malaysia. Only for the moment we should provide those regional real estate training standards, but in three to five years, CVEA needs to have international standards like from the UK or USA. How can you achieve this long-term goal when you are only president for one year and two months? We will see. Real estate schools are mainly there to recruit new, qualified agents – will you have a ‘war for talents’ among CVEA members? Would people in CVEA’s top positions not channel the best graduates into their own companies? My way is not pushing or stopping anyone. After all it’s a free economy and money goes first and companies have limited capacities to hire new agents. I don’t see an issue there. How do you define “value and fame”that you promised bringing to the CVEA? Our members are cheating on each other more than cooperating, so we have to work as a team. They are not cheating on the money but on the services. Sometimes some real estate agents just pretend to be a booker and go with other agents in order to add the other agent’s property to their portfolio. This confuses the real estate industry as people cannot tell who the booker is and who the real estate agent is. So we have introduced a consultation fee to stop agents who pretend to be bookers. If someone wants to see a property, we will charge locals $5 and foreigners $10 per booking. It is a kind of internal regulation. I know not all people are going to follow, but as long as about 20 to 30 per cent of them do then people will start from now on as they need time to adopt the new strategy. This can also help screen out the fake clients as they will not pay the fee. What will be your focus of the AVA (ASEAN Valuers Association) congress in June next year? For the congress, we are supposed to have five countries from ASEAN to join. But some of our members worry that we do not have money or human resources, or that we do not know how to organise it. However, I have 10 years experience in teaching at university and I have travelled a lot. I have done real estate business for 10 years and joined a lot of congresses and events. So I know how to do it. By doing so, our country can gain a lot of international media coverage. We hope to promote not only real estate and construction but also tourism and our country to the world. Please give me some details about your cooperation with the government? How do you work together? You mentioned ‘transparency’ in an earlier interview. CVEA was founded in 2008 and it was under the Ministry of Finance until last year, but still officials want to control you. I was the one to say CVEA must separate from the ministry even before I became the president. When under the ministry, decisions were made so slowly. Time is money but officials did not care. Now we can work 10 times faster than before. Besides, there is no boss in the meeting. All members, whether you are a big or small company, are equal and have only one vote, and they have the same opportunity in meeting our business partners. In your pitch for presidency you said “I will gain the trust of the members and the general public and will set a goal for the organisation which I can achieve during my term as president”. Do you think it is difficult to gain the trust of the members and what are the issues and challenges? I’ve already gained the trust of them. I got my competitors to be my vice presidents and those three may become the next presidents. So they have to compete; they compete with each other but not with me. I came alone and I didn’t bring my people, so they trust me. I work for CVEA, but not for my own company or for the public. Many people in the CVEA worried when I became the president as they were afraid I will get my people in to take over. But all the staff I just kept the same. I said you stay where you are and I give you a five per cent increase in salary. There are four people – three the same as before and one new as there is more work. I am not coming here to sleep; I do a lot of work. Julius Thiemann: Phnom Penh Post, Post Property

In a joint collaboration project between three organisations, Building Trust International, Atelier COLE, and Habitat for Humanity Cambodia, an affordable housing design and implementation scheme has been created for low-income Cambodians looking to build their first home. The result, aptly named the “Framework House”, is highly sustainable, affordable housing built from local bamboo and wood, and it costs the end buyer just US$2,500 to build. The pilot Framework House project was originally conceived by the three aid organisations to serve Cambodian families affected by HIV/AIDS in particular, and those generally in poor health and facing vulnerable circumstances. A total of nine homes were built for this original purpose in the pilot phase of the affordable housing operation this year and last. Framework House is affordable housing being built primarily from wood and bamboo, and comes in several different versions, as per the end users needs. The family receiving the new home has the option to decide what kind of layout they need, and examples of additional options include homes suitable for keeping livestock in, separate from the residential dwelling area, and home designs which can concurrently double as small food stores. The two-story stilt houses measure a total of 80 square meters in area, and feature recycled material which is used as cheap insulation. On the ground floor of each Framework House, earth bags, plastic bottles, and clay bricks are used for insulation purposes, while first-floor insulation includes wattle and daub, split bamboo stems, and woven bamboo mats. The sleeping area is located on the first floor of the house in order to protect families against flash-floods, a common occurrence and danger in many regions of Cambodia. These cheap homes are basic indeed, but they are also highly innovative - designed with Cambodia’s unique environment in mind. Internally operable shutters help encourage air flow, cooling and encouraging passive ventilation throughout the house. Further, large, overhanging roofs are integrated into the design to enable each family their own rainwater collection source. The rainwater that is collected from the roof then runs into a gutter and lands in a 1000 liter catchment tank for drinking, and a following 2000 liter tank suitable for washing and cooking. In addition, each home comes equipped with a small solar panel that provides sufficient energy to charge a mobile phone or power a water pump, and within the house a solar powered light provides safe and sustainable illumination inside. And, to keep the housing economy benefits within the community, wherever possible, local builders and local materials are used to make the houses. Building Trust International hopes to bring the affordable housing scheme to more low-income people now that the design and testing phase is complete, and is also in the process of developing another, higher-density affordable housing design for urban areas.

Chamkarmon district has surely been seeing a continuous rise of land prices year after year, BKK, Toul Tumpung and surrounding areas proving to be a haven for foreigners and very wealthy Khmer. But, according to a recent report and commentary from experts within the industry, lack of infrastructure capacity, and trends among locals moving to the city’s outer reaches, will eventually slow Chamkarmon development growth.According to a report from the VTRUST Journal of Real Estate released on October 26 this year, Phnom Penh’s land prices have risen by approximately 10 per cent year after year. In Chamkarmon this climb has been the most extreme. In Chamkarmon district, especially BKK, sub streets cost around $2,000 to $3,500 per square metre, and land along major streets costs about $4,000 to $6,000 per square metre.With property demand continuing to grow within the Chamkarmon district, specifically within Boeng Keng Kang, Tuol Tumpung, Tuol Svay Prey and Oulampik in the first half of 2015, 20 new developments worth over $3.2 billion have been approved to start construction within the Chamkarmon district. These new developments are expected to reach an estimated value of $3.6 billion this year. From 2011 to 2014, according to the report, developments were valued up to only $2.2 billion each year.However, according to Hoem Seiha in a recent Phnom Penh Post report, the director of research for VTrust Appraisal Co., Ltd., eventually this lack of infrastructure will cause land prices to stabilize in the longer term.“With 20 per cent car ownership per household in the city and the ever-increasing rate of the white collar class who commute from different areas to downtown Phnom Penh, the lack of adequate parking solutions will be the daunting challenge for business communities in the CBD,” he said in a recent interview.As a result of this, the outskirts of Phnom Penh will cause future competition with the Chamkarmon district as Khmers move away from the congested inner city. Northwestern Phnom Penh is seeing massive growth, as is Northern Phnom Penh, and also land around the International Airport.As outer suburbs of  Phnom Penh gain stronger infrastructure and pools of private real estate investment funding, such as Aeon Mall 2, Chip Mong Land and New World Sen Sok in Phnom Penh Thmey, Camko City in Russey Keo and Grand Phnom Penh in Chrang Chamreh, the limitation of new development space in the Chamkarmon district will have to ease demand. The focus of the city will likely shift too, as commercial and retail spaces also continue to push outside of Chamkarmon and the CBD.

A developer in Melbourne, Australia, who has built a 72-level tower in the central city, has failed to build the underground car parking promised in the original development plans. [caption id="attachment_79012" align="aligncenter" width="300"] Illustration: Matt Golding[/caption] The developer, the Brady Group, did not provide two of the three levels of underground car parking originally promised, causing the Melbourne City Council  to now consider what enforcement action it can take against the developer.Norman Fay, Brady Group spokesman, did not dispute the developer failure to provide the promised car parking levels when challenged. Mr Fay said an application to retroactively alter the development permit was now being considered by the planning department.Brady Group originally had obtained a 2009 developer permit off planning minister Justin Madden to build the tower, with just one level of underground parking, but later got an updated permit off Matthew Guy to proceed with three levels of underground parking. It is not clear who failed to check if the  building adhered to the updated permit but, regardless, the developer is in breach of their permit.Read more of the latest and greatest real estate news right here on realestate.com.kh

As land prices increase in the Cambodian capital’s CBD, property developers are seeking open land on the outskirts of Phnom Penh. One area that has seen continuous growth in recent years is the city’s Northwestern districts of Russey Keo.For the most part, the Northwest is becoming a haven for Khmer families looking to settle outside the inner city. Stretching between two major township developments of Camko City and Grand Phnom Penh, a host of Boreys and township projects are springing up, suited to local buyers budgets and tastes, according to In Sitha, Vice President of World Trust Estate. Developments such as Peng Hout the Star Premier, New World Kilometer No.5, Borey Toul Sangke, Borey Villa Toul Sangke, Borey Vimean Phnom Penh, Borey Angkor Phnom Penh, Borey Rith, New World Toul Sangke, Borey China Town, Borey Laoar Penh Chet 1 and 2, BS Villa Phsar Touch, Flat house Mittapheap 1 & 2, Borey Beoung Chuok, Borey Lim Cheanghak (CTN), Borey Sreng Kong, Borey Moha Sethey, The Residence, Borey Rattanak, Borey Monorom, Borey LHV, Borey Hong Leng Yi, Flat House Kim Bo, Borey Mongkul Phnom Penh, Flat house GTC, Borey Komel are just a few of these new projects, offering shop houses, link houses, villas and affordable apartment properties, all aimed at local buyers.Chee Yap, Project Director at Grand Phnom Penh, a 260-hectare township project, believes that new infrastructural developments along Chea Sophara Road, Road 598 and Hanoi Road are effectively bringing the outer reaches of Russey Keo closer to the central city in terms of accessibility and vital amenities. Phnom Penh City Hall have also suggested that Angkor Boulevard, otherwise known as Camko Road, will eventually link Grand Phnom Penh and Camko City directly, speeding up commuting times to the central city dramatic for the city’s Northwestern residents. Aeon Mall 2, slated for construction along Street 1003, is likewise encouraging a flurry of investor speculation in this area.David Kim, CEO of Informax Real Estate Services, explains that this outward shift in residential offerings reflects the rising land prices in downtown Phnom Penh, such as Beung Keng Kang, Daun Penh, and Tonle Bassac. “Because the land prices and rental rates in these areas are at an all time high,” says Kim, “Khmers who own land here no longer want to stay there, as they are effectively sitting on their money. Instead, they can sell at a large profit, or rent that space at high rates of return, and settle in the Northwest.”Chroy Changvar is another area growing fast, but the need to cross the bridge to get to the city, in combination with a lack of commercial and retail ventures in the area, is at present limiting the area’s popularity for both developers and end buyers, suggests Kim. Similarly, the south of Phnom Penh, along Hun Sen Road, is also growing, but more time is needed before the infrastructure meets many buyers’ expectations. The West of Phnom Penh has the international airport and a broad array of commercial activity, but this area is less popular for development companies looking to the local market because it is now limited in regards to open and affordable land for new large scale developments. “Northwestern Phnom Penh and Russey Keo,”compares Kim, “has no bridge and neighbours Toul Kork, a booming commercial area with all amenities necessary for mass residential expansion.” For these reasons, the Northwest developments are proving more popular with Khmer buyers, and consequently a lower risk for development investors. Just a brief glance at an aerial view of the city shows that large green areas of totally undeveloped land still exist on the Northwest side of the city, meaning first stage developers can buy land cheap, fill the land and apply for necessary planning permissions and infrastructural additions from the Government, then upsell that land to sub-developers who then begin to build. The lower the original price of the land, the more affordable the final housing project can be sold for by the sub-developer. “Land is cheaper in the Northwest, hence why the finished projects are more affordable for local buyers,” concludes Kim.Yap notes that from a macro-perspective, Northwestern Phnom Penh is guaranteed to grow into the future. “In property development there is always ‘the rule of the triangle’: If you plan a residential project within equidistance of a city’s CBD and it’s International Airport, and you ensure your project reflects local demands, it will succeed. It may not succeed immediately, but as long as the city continues to grow, it will eventually succeed completely.”

At the end of 2015, the 10 ASEAN nation states are on track to create the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) as a means to support the free flow of labour across Asia, and benefit all economies falling within the AEC by sharing human resources. Cambodia is expected to gain benefits through increases in foreign direct investment into the Cambodian market -but how the AEC will change the face of the domestic Cambodian labor market remains uncertain. With the ASEAN Economic Integration at the end of this year, Cambodia seemingly must strengthen its capacity in terms of human resources and professional expertise if it is to meet the regional market’s demand when the AEC integration fully comes into play. After the integration, labor flow will increase considerably for professionals with internationally transferable skill sets, such as accountants, health professionals, engineers, researchers and tourism workers. These Cambodian professionals will now be able to apply for positions throughout the region without restriction, and potentially gain higher wages. Chan Sophal, Director of the Centre for Policy Studies in Cambodia, said the AEC will bring new labor flows to professions that require high skill labor inside and outside of Cambodia.  This means, ' ... Enterprises in need of skilled workers within Cambodia will be able to hire them more easily than at present because the potential market will be larger,” he said.    As inter-ASEAN competition increases between its members in terms of labor flows, Cambodia must strengthen the aggregate capacity of its own human resources in order to meet the competitive labor market of ASEAN in the coming years, and to ensure employment opportunities inside and outside of Cambodia. In order to strengthen the labor market for the AEC, Sophal said, “the number one priority must be to better train and educate our students. This is the only way we can compete.” In regards to whether Cambodia is ready for the ASEAN economic integration, Sophal explained that, “While I think we have strengths and weaknesses within the Cambodian market, ASEAN, fully integrated, will provide opportunities to attract domestic investment that will in return create jobs for skilled and unskilled workers within Cambodia. In addition, new competition in the labor market within Cambodia is seemingly going to be limited due to the variability of criteria that may or may not attract workers to Cambodia.” Chrek Sok Ny, CEO of Century 21 Mekong, said the present Cambodian market is getting ready for the integration in many ways: 'I think it's beneficial to bring in new technologies and methods for construction into Cambodia in regards to construction standards and levels of development. But meanwhile, the AEC will boost Cambodian economy and strengthen cultural connectivity of all member countries. There will be free flow of goods and labor, and Cambodian workers will migrate for jobs abroad; whereas skilled workers from member countries will enter Cambodia filling the increasing demand for higher skilled positions that this development demands.” A joint publication released by the ADB and ILO at the end of last year, showed that Cambodia could be one of the leading beneficiaries of the AEC through the creation of an estimated additional 1.1 million jobs by 2025. Low-skilled jobs will account for 71.2 percent of this increase, predicts the publication, meanwhile, medium-skilled professional roles may increase by around 722,000 jobs. Despite that, the same publication goes on to say that Cambodians may well lose their domestic employment opportunities if there is no improvement in the market in regards to workers’ training and education. Furthermore, domestic higher-skilled workers may still look to migrate outside of Cambodia, as opportunities for higher salaries will now be available.

Bodaiju Residences is an ensemble of six 14-storey buildings woven into the tropical landscape.

Full-service apartments provide almost everything you could want in a Phnom Penh apartment. Learn more about Phnom Penh rentals and other Cambodian rental advice here. Expect, at minimum, western style architecture and interior layouts, natural light, views, modern equipped kitchen including an oven, modern bathrooms, and expansive closets. Services such as laundry, Internet, cable, water, and even concierge services are included in the new breed of serviced apartments around Phnom Penh. Most of these accommodations also include one or more elevators, security, car, bike, and moto parking, gyms and/or swimming pools. Expect organized rent collection and hasty replies to your maintenance requests. You will almost certainly have air con. More about Phnom Penh residential space here. Serviced apartments are generally easy to find in the city, but expect prices to be higher than other types of accommodation, and don’t be surprised if vacancy rates low. Service apartments are somewhat impersonal, compared to other types of Phnom Penh rentals. Due to their size and relative vacancies, it may be more difficult to get to know your neighbors or your landlord. For a young professional or family, however, this extra space and privacy may be appreciated. They are also generally high rise apartments, so chances are you can land a great view of the city! Rough Price Range for 1 Bedroom Service Apartments:CBD - Chamkarmon, Daun Penh = $1000 – $1700 per month;Outskirts - Toul Kork, Sen Sok, Olympic, Toul Tom Poung = $800 – $1200 per month.2) Western Style Apartments in Phnom Penh: A “Western Style” apartment is a term that is thrown around a lot on the Phnom Penh rental market – and those properties fitting this description can vary widely. A “western” apartment can in fact represent anything from a few apartment units on the third floor, to a unit within a high-rise multi-unit tower. However, generally, those properties termed as western-style apartments in Phnom Penh have more amenities than those sold as Khmer-style units. So called “Western apartments” are generally newly constructed, have windows in every room and plenty of natural light, western style toilets and a kitchen with full cooking amenities; this should include all standard appliances and plenty of cabinet space, counter space, and an integrated cooktop. Often these apartment’s bathrooms will include a hot shower, a bathtub and floor tiles. A western style apartment should have a larger living space with somewhat modern lighting fixtures. Western apartments will also generally be furnished, and with furnishing such as plush sofa’s – as opposed to purely wooden furniture preferred in traditional khmer houses. Internet, cable, water and sometimes cleaning are generally included in the rental rate. Some of these properties will have elevators and might even have shared rooftop terrace areas. Expect parking for bicycles and motos. You should always get an air conditioner – in fact, this can be the sole reason the seller has called it “western.” Essentially, the “Western” label should lead you to believe that the construction is of a higher standard, as is the overall security of the building. For a foreigner there is also the benefit of having many foreign tenants, making it easy to make friends when your first settle in. Owners of western apartments are generally more experienced with this market and will follow through with your rental maintenance requests. Price Range For 1 Bedroom Western Apartments (non serviced):CBD - Chamkarmon, Daun Penh = $600 – $1000 per month;Outskirts - Toul Kork, Sen Sok, Olympic, Toul Tom Poung = $500 – $700 per month.3) Khmer-style Shop House: A Khmer-style shophouse is still one of the most common property types in Phnom Penh, found in nearly every Phnom Penh neighborhood. They can also be built into three or four-story low-rise row homes. A shophouse, khmer style, is generally about four meters in width and roughly 16 meters long. The doors to enter will be in the front or back of the shop house, and the walls on either side will almost always have no windows. In a khmer-style shophouse, bedrooms won’t generally have windows, and if they do, they will face toward the interior of the home as opposed to the outside – thus, generally providing no natural light. Bedrooms will normally have movable dressers or rattan shelving, as opposed to inbuilt storage space provided in the more modern designs of apartments. Kitchen layouts in Khmer-style shop houses are generally fairly basic too. Expect to see a sink or two and a one burner gas cooktop. Don’t expect an oven and you will be lucky if you get much cabinet space. Learn more about Phnom Penh rental market and other Cambodian rental advice here. Don’t expect hot water, anywhere in the house. Bathrooms generally won’t have a separate shower or windows - but will be well equipped with floor to ceiling tiles, and the infamous bum gun. Bathrooms are just “wet rooms” without a separate shower in many cases. Home furnishings are seldom included, and if they are, expect them to be either rattan or wood. Expect, in terms of furnishings, no more than chairs, coffee table, and a table for eating. Although basic, shop houses are still surprisingly popular with foreign renters. Ultimately, their simplicity creates a kind of charm – and the price gap between these common shop houses, and new serviced units entering the market, are incomparable. Those that accept these shophouses for long term rents are generally expecting the landlord to make improvements or are being permitted by the landlord to make changes and modifications to the home themselves. With the right design and decoration, this style of house can be tailored to your preferences, and made to look much more valuable than their rental price. Expect to live close to your neighbors and get to know your neighborhood – which is a valuable experience for many expat renters. Here's a check list for securing your dream Phnom Penh rental! Rough Price Range For 1 Bedroom Khmer-style Shop Houses:CBD - Chamkarmon, Daun Penh = $300 - $400 per month;Outskirts - Toul Kork, Sen Sok, Olympic, Toul Tom Poung = $300 and under per month.4) Renovated Shop House: A renovated shop house, basically a khmer shop house that has undergone a makeover, can be harder to find in Phnom Penh. But when you find the right renovated shop house, you can get the authentic khmer style of living, with all the western amenities at hand. Adding to your search, the renovated shop house can often appear camouflaged from the outside as they generally have the same construction and outward appearances as the standard Khmer-style shop house. Here's a check list for securing your dream rental! However, look inside to discover a gem – as the owner has in fact renovated the apartment interior with Western finishes, fixtures and amenities, yet still encapsulated in the same 4 x 16 meter layout. Keep your eyes peeled for new floors, added windows, and updated lighting fixtures. Other home furnishings will be newer – such as plush couches/sofas, and maybe a glass coffee table. A clear sign that a shop house has been renovated are the addition of external windows in the bedroom, facing the outside. Bedrooms may also have added features since the renovation, such as built-in closets, built-in shelving and air-conditioning. Renovated shop house kitchens will usually have cabinets for storage, and newer, western style appliances. Still, be aware that furnishings and construction may be cheap and require maintenance. Renovated shop house are great for foreigners who want to live comfortably on a budget while meanwhile maintaining the charm and community of living in a Khmer-style shop house. Owners are quite often friendly to expats and eager to please throughout the contract. More importantly - the prices are affordable.

Although a relative newcomer the market, Bodaiju Residences has already sold over 60 per cent of Phase 1, according to Tomohiro Yakushi, vice president of the Japanese developer Creed Group. See the listing here.Yakushi believes that the reason for this is that most new developments across Phnom Penh aim solely to capture foreign investors but, Bodaiju Residences, the largest development in Cambodia by a Japanese Company, has gained huge interest by local investors and home owners who understand market potential and the need for well-financed projects in Cambodia, especially those located in strategic areas.In fact, Her Excellency Louk Sovanna from the newly formed KH Niron Investment company, a local property investor, has already announced that they have purchased 37 units at a total cost of around $5 million, according to a recent report in the Phnom Penh Post.“Unlike other condominium projects that mainly target foreigners, we aim to target locals pursuing home ownership and high standards of living,” said Yakushi. Bodaiju Residences have already gained local confidence:  the key to success in the Cambodian new developments market.“We mainly want local people to live here - not only foreign investors buying and selling condo units. We want to add real value,” Yakushi said. Hence, the majority of sales thus far are local Cambodians, at around 65 percent of Phase 1 sales; in addition, Korean buyers represent 15% of phase 1 sales, Japanese equate to 10%, Singaporean, 5%, and the remaining 5% of the units have been sold to other nationalities. This demographic will provide a multicultural and vibrant community in Bodaiju Residences.Inquire about Bodaiju Residences today on Realestate.com.kh and find out more!Based on current sales success, the Creed group predicts that at least 75 per cent of sales in Phase 1 will be complete in October 2015, according to a recent interview with the Phnom Penh Post.Creed is also making financing available, for local and international buyers. In fact, financing is available for up to 90 per cent of the property value by ORO Financecorp—a subsidiary of Creed Group— meaning that property investors can acquire loans starting from as low as 5 per cent interest.“This means that the low-entry investment starts at $100,000,” Yakushi adds. The average net selling price of Bodaiju units is $1,600 to $1,700 per square metre.The Bodaiju Residences project is the first and biggest project to be invested in outside of the city center and instead in front of Pochentong International Airport.

[caption id="attachment_78805" align="alignleft" width="430"] Socheath Yim, Director of CDN Property[/caption] Focusing greatly on recovery, Cambodia’s economy has been increasing rapidly over the last five years. Tourism has been a great help as it contributed millions of dollars for the country’s national budget. While the international image of the country has not been fully reverted yet, investors who are aware of the nation’s efforts to recover are now pouring in money into it. Cambodia real estate is one area where the country is counting on to jump start their growth. The government is offering incentives and safety measures for future investors who are interested to invest on Cambodia real estate. One very radical move being considered by the government is to lift its rule of not allowing foreigners to own real estate property in the country. Although opening up to the foreign real estate investors is a risky attempt to salvage the country’s economy, the nobility of the purpose is something that is noteworthy. CDN Property advise clients on the acquisition and disposal of a wide range of investment land and property opportunities, throughout the key locations in Cambodia.

They may add furnishing that you request, and negotiate on set rates.Remember that most owners want to build and maintain a relationship with their tenants. A long term lease allows this trust to develop.If you end up securing a lease for longer than you are able to stay in Cambodia, many expats are seeking shorter length, sub-lease agreements. This will give you the opportunity to finish your lease agreement payments through a sub-lease with a short term tenant. It pays to check with the landlord that will be possible before signing the leasing contract.Alternative, the landlord may allow you to transfer the entire lease to a new tenant that you have found - if you can't satisfy the contract.

If they are, let them know that they will have an opportunity to screen the new sub-leasing tenant before they are accepted. Also, check whether they are open to transferring the bond to the new sub-leasing tenant. If the new landlord accepts these terms, the additional lease length shouldn't be such a risk to you.Remember, negotiation is about compromise. Consider the landlords objectives and unique circumstances - and try to compormise a rental agreement where both parties can feel satisfied. Here is some useful real estate negotiation advice.
