Buying property for sale in Cyprus

Is it a good idea? Well the Sunday Times thinks so! In Jan 2008 they published a major article around some comprehensive research conducted by the Homebuyer and Property Investor Show, which gave the 10 most popular destinations for Brits moving abroad a mark out of 10 in each category, to come up with an overall score out of 80. Cyprus tops the list of destinations because it has an income-tax rate of just 5% on pensions for retired residents, as well as low property prices and no inheritance tax. It also scores highly on related issues such as ease of gaining residency, low property buying and selling costs and benefits for pensioners.

Nick Clark, managing director of Homebuyer Events, said: "Not only does Cyprus offer a warm, sunny climate, it also benefits from favourable taxation and healthcare policies." See the full Sunday Times report here. 

You may not be all that familiar with the island's geography. Maps of Cyprus are however commonly available from the large number of companies offering bargain car hire in Cyprus.  When buying property for sale in Cyprus your first decision is whether to go for a Cyprus property in the main population centres of Protaras and Ayia Napa, Larnaca, Limassol or Paphos. Nicosia is the capital city and comparable to most European cities, yet has a mix of the ancient too to make it very attractive. Cheap Cyprus property for sale is difficult to find these days unless you look away from the very popular towns on the southern shore. Cheap studio apartments in Cyprus are available, though for resale purposes we recommend a minimum of 2 bedrooms

If you look at a Cyprus topographical map you will see there is a significant mountain range in the centre of the island. In the heat of summer, hotels in the Troodos Mountains, Cyprus are very popular with both locals and tourists. Considering staying here if you are considering buying property for sale in Cyprus away from the busy resorts, like the popular villas in sea cave area Cyprus. You’ll need a car if you stay in this area and Cyprus driving maps are usually included by the many companies offering bargain car hire in Cyprus. This area is still very accessible since it's within a hour's drive of Paphos airport and cheap flights from UK to cyprus are readily available. Cyprus driving maps make finding these locations very easy.

Buying property for sale in Cyprus has become even more popular since Cyprus became part of the EU in 2004; as of Jan 2008 it will also adopt the Euro as its currency. This will mean it is a fully fledged member of the European Community, offering free movement and relaxed residence and property-owning options for EU citizens. Cyprus is just such a 'natural' choice for the British, apart from over 340 days of sunshine a year being a huge attraction, they have the same banking system, same legal system, same electrical system - they even drive on the same side of the road! With English taught in all the schools, it's much more of a 'natural' market than other Mediterranean alternatives. Add a low cost of living, top class health facilities, modern amenities and virtually no crime - no wonder that Cyprus property really IS unbeatable.

An important thing to understand is that the high demand for Cyprus property for sale has been met by a seemingly ever-expanding number of builders, developers (who often sub-contract the actual building work) and countless small local firms – all cashing in on the booming Cyprus property market. Over 90% of business is done with people who don’t live in Cyprus, but are interested in buying property for sale in Cyprus for a permanent base, a holiday home with rental potential – or pure property investment. A Cyprus holiday beach villa is hard to find these days and discount Cyprus apartments are even rarer, unless you are perhaps the first to buy an off-plan unit on a new development. Inexpensive Cyprus apartments tend to be small studios but these need to be located in the very popular resorts if a rental income is desired.
