Cyprus Increases Its Investor Appeal

January 8th, 2009 No comments

North Cyprus is an island full of historical culture and beholds a unique beauty and has become very popular with holidaymakers from all over Europe. With sunny days exceeding 300 per year and offering loads of sandy beaches right along its coastline, it isn’t hard to see just why so many tourists have fallen in love with North Cyprus.

As with so many strong property investment markets, the benefits of investing in Cyprus are ultimately centered around the growing market for tourism on the island. With estimated increases of around 4-5% per year over the next ten years, this revenue stream seems only set to continue for the foreseeable future.

Although Cyprus has been popular with holiday home investors for quite a few years now, the rise in developments on the island has also increased, keeping up with the high demand. There a whole range of deciding factors that have made all of this possible including favourable tax conditions, a high standard of living and a very healthy tourist industry. Today’s property investors are not just seeing Cyprus as favourable choice, but also as one of Europe’s top property investment region

Apart from an increase in North Cyprus as a leading tourist resort, there are also other factors that in recent times have lead to more favourable holiday home investment opportunities. Without a doubt the membership of Cyprus into the European Union has resulted in an increase in trade with it’s European partners, a thriving economy, a higher standing of living, lower taxation and a better legal system have all played their part in promoting holiday home investments within North Cyprus.

The futures investment market is gleaming due to the credible reunification of the North and South of the island, as even more holiday home investment opportunities will come onto the market, as holiday home prices in the Turkish North are even cheaper than those in the south of the island. Current dialogue should unfold a final re-unification of Cyprus, so potential holiday home investors should watch out for the resulting political events in North Cyprus.

High quality off-plan projects being developed throughout the north of the island continue to increase with towns like Catalkoy and Bogaz booming. As soon as re-unification is a fact, such developments will surge as investors know that prices in the north will catch up with current prices found in Southern Cyprus

With the increasingly challenging global financial climate causing investors to redefine objectives and returns, Cyprus is becoming an increasingly popular option for investors seeking a long term, more stable property investment.

Discover Living In Northern Cyprus

You will pleasantly surprised to hear that Cyprus has one of the lowest crime rates in Europe and this is what makes the island so attractive to anyone wishing to invest in the Cyprus Property market. Apart from feeling secure on the island you will notice the very relaxed atmosphere amongst the local residents, so much so it has been compared to pre war Britain.

In some ways the European community is fantastic, especially that you can now go and work in any member state. Cyprus is no exception, so now buying a property in Cyprus doesn’t just mean buying a holiday home as you can work and live there all year round.

Those European residents who wish to try a new working life in Cyprus will need to register at the Alien Central Register. Having registered you may either look for work at the local job centre or on your own accord. You are obliged to make an application for a residents permit during the first three months of living there.

If you do purchase a property in Cyprus you may consider making a few economic savings. Solar heating is an cheap alternative and its adoption is relatively inexpensive, having a payback period of approximately 5 years. If you will have a garden, it is advisable to drill a borehole for watering as the water charges rise more than proportionately with consumption. This will cost around 360 for the borehole and the pump, although it will depend on the depth of the borehole. The drilling of a borehole requires a Government permit first.

Permission will be granted to a company for the acquisition of property, provided that it is for its own use. Offshore companies could therefore acquire property within the above limits. If you live permanently in Cyprus, you will have to pay Cypriot income tax on your worldwide earnings. However, the good news is that tax rates are some of the lowest in Europe, especially for those who choose to retire there.

Compared with the majority of other European Countries, Cyprus remains on the least expensive places to live in and you will find that it is relatively cheaper as regards living expenses. Many of the previous points outline just why so many people are choosing to come and live in Sunny Cyprus.
