Tips on Buying Property in Cyprus

Legal Representation
It goes without saying, whenever buying land or property it is always highly advisable to first get some good independent legal advice. If you intend buying a new Apartment or Villa in Cyprus, then this should be one of the first priorities in order to protect the money you are about to invest. A good Independent Lawyer or Legal representative will assist you in signing contracts and understanding the legal documents surrounding Real Estate in Cyprus.

The Island does have an abundance of fluent English speaking Lawyers experienced in property sales, but it is always best to use the services of one that has been recommended to you by a friend or someone you know has recently bought a Property in Cyprus. A Lawyer recommended or introduced to you by the property developer could have a more biased opinion and only the developers best interests at heart.

Where to Live in Cyprus
"Buy in haste and repent at leisure", as the old proverb goes. The same is true when buying property in Cyprus. The island can boast a varied landscape, from quaint rural villages to bustling tourist towns such as Limassol, Larnaca and Paphos. So, choose the location of your new Cyprus home wisely, and spend as much time as possible viewing as many options as you can.

Cyprus has a vast range of property types available to the potential investor, from small seafront Apartments to large Townhouses, Luxury Villas and even properties set amongst Golf courses. It's a good thing though, when searching, to always keep in mind any future plans you have in mind for your new Villa. You may want it purely for investment purposes or simply to rent out as a Holiday Villa and bring in an income. On the other hand, you may plan to live in your property on a more permanent basis. But any of these reasons can influence in some way the property you will eventually buy.

Always remember though, in years to come, even those charming old steps leading up to the front door could lose their charm and suddenly become a hinderance to you, so it's always advisable to view any property with your future intentions in mind.

Price Checking Property For Sale
As much as possible, try and get a general idea of the value of property in the area that you are interested in. You can do this by keeping an eye on any Villas or Apartments coming to market--or that were recently sold--in this particular area.

Also, spend some time in comparing the price of the Villa or Apartment that caught your eye with properties of similar specification in different areas. This will give you insight as to whether the area you are interested in is a good investment choice or not. If the property isn't yet built and is a New Build Development, then check what other property developers in that region are asking for their New Builds of similar design.

Investment Buying In Cyprus
Buying investment property in Cyprus can, in some ways, be compared to poker. Just as professional poker players will keep their cards close to their chest and not reveal anything, then the same should apply when buying property in Cyprus. Possibly, the worst move to make would be letting the Property Agent or Developer know exactly what your budget is.

Instead, approach the Developer/Agent and let him know what your requirements are, then ask for prices on any properties they are building or have on the market at that time. And remember to negotiate, you may find you are offered a more favourable price if you pluck up the courage to haggle a little.
