...Holiday Villas for Rent in Limassol,
Larnaca, Paphos, Ayia Napa, Protaras and Coral Bay... View Property If you have your mind specifically set on buying an Apartment in Cyprus, maybe in one of the popular areas such as Limassol, Coral Bay or Paralimni for example, there are a few important factors to take into consideration whilst browsing for the ideal property. The first important thing to remember is to choose your location wisely, because if you have intentions of renting the Apartment out you want to make sure it's in a sought after holiday destination. This will also ensure the Apartment you choose will hold on to its market value, or perhaps even increase in price giving you a good return on your investment. The ideal way to choose your location is to take time out and visit all the areas you are interested in. Quite often visiting an area will give you a better indication as to whether you could be happy living there or not. Browsing glossy brochures is fine, but it does have its limitations. Out of interest, some of the main investment hotspots people gravitate towards in Cyprus are : Larnaca, Paphos/ Pafos, Limassol, Ayia Napa, Latchi, Pissouri, Pyrgos, Polis and Paralimni. Good Areas For A Cyprus Apartment In general, the better area of any of the Cyprus resorts is one which is centrally located, not over-developed with other Apartments and is reasonably close to Schools, Shops and Amenities etc. On the whole, the market value of property in the area can be a good indication of the quality of that particular district. It goes without saying that the higher price Villas and Apartments are usually found in the more exclusive areas, so let these property prices be your guiding light. After locating the area in which you wish to buy, there will now undoubtedly be a wide variety of choice and property types to choose from. If that's the case, then a good investment choice could well be the smaller block of Apartments, maybe a five-storey building comprising of 10-15 units or so. Many of the larger Apartment complexes can often have privacy problems, and more often than not have poorer standards of property management. On the other hand though, the smaller Apartment blocks tend to have higher common service bills as charges are divided between fewer tenants. So both have their plus and minus points, but at this stage you have to weigh up the odds and make your decision on a more personal basis. Apartments Above Shops In some places you might find Apartment blocks located above Business Premises, Taverns or Shops etc. If this is the case, and you have set your heart on this particular location, then it's often a good move to purchase the Apartment furthest away from the Shop, as the potential noise and nuisance factor could have a detrimental effect on occupants living too close. You will also need to be aware of this if you later decide to rent out your property, as this alone could affect the attractiveness from a rental point of view. It's quite common for the one bedroom or Studio type Apartment to be harder to sell, as demand for two and three bedroom Apartments appears to be much higher. So, by choosing one of these more sought after types of Apartment, it could actually eliminate any waiting time if you later chose to put it on the market. Apartment Prices In general, most Cyprus Property Developers and Real Estate Agents will quote their property prices in pounds per sq. metre. The important point to remember here is that some of these quotes also include communal areas, such as stairways, entrances and lifts etc. So, be sure to study the details and be aware of what you are actually buying, and what will actually be yours after you purchase your apartment. Buying Property In Cyprus And finally, buying a property in Cyprus need not be a risky affair if you know what to look out for along the way. The key to a successful purchase is never to buy hastily, or on a whim. In other words, follow your head and not your heart, even if this means you having to leave Cyprus without making a purchase when you might have set your heart on it. You wouldn't rush into a hasty decision buying a property in the UK, so treat buying overseas in much the same way and invest cautiously and wisely. |
