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.

Cyprus Villas – Don’t Miss The Boat

Due to historical tensions between Greece and Turkey, Cyprus became a divided island and the northern part has been virtually cut of from the western world for the last few decades. On the other hand the southern part of the island has been virtually conquered by the British tourist industry leading to its over commercialization and higher prices. Due to recent talks over the separation of the island, there seems to be a feeling by all sides involved that the island will soon lose its border crossing. This would really open up the north and there is already a lot of property investment movement there and all the signs indicate that the time is right to invest in Northern Cyprus.

Although it is just a coincidence, the North has more natural beauty to offer than the South making it even more attractive investment wise. There is quite an amazing stretch of coastline to discover as well as a real traditional Cypriot way of life, untouched for so many years. It is not a real shock that development big time is taking place in the North, and their building confidence is due to the fact that final prices are 50% less than in the South.

Those people who have managed to buy direct from the builders have been making up to a 30% value increase on the day of signing. Kyrenia is the area where things are really developing as far as tourism is concerned, and in the summer you would be more than happy to be a holiday rental villa owner. The most recent of projects in this region is at East Kyrenia, where they are completing a major golf complex and a stunning marina. This popular area of North Cyprus is close by to the beach and it has mountains overlooking it, and the most amazing thing is that land prices here are just a fraction of those of other developing Mediterranean countries.

Property Development: Europe/EC has a reasonably stable economy at the moment and with the continent opening up, new opportunities arise as far as property investment is concerned. North Cyprus definitely falls into this category and people are already reaping the benefits of a fast developing region, so make sure that you too are one of the first. We only have to look around us today to see that money investment is a dodgy business with unstable share indexes and even banks closing, so the only real option left is property investment. It provides security and high steady long term growth, well it does in North Cyprus anyway so make sure that you consider it if you are contemplating property investment.

It is really Quite clear to see that Villas and apartments for sale in North Cyprus are one of the best investment opportunities on offer for a number of years as you can either opt in and then out for a quick profit or hold on and watch the value of your new investment grow. It goes without saying that the best deal can be found when buying off-plan, so this is where you will first need someone to make sure that you do in fact get the best possible deal available.

All of this development is increasing tourism and providing new routes to put the North on the map. In addition some travel agents are now offering dual holidays in the North and South part of the island. Negotiations to lift the International air embargo are, however, underway in Europe. This is supported by both the UK foreign affairs committee and the US. Tourism Investments: Tourism developments are actively encouraged by both the local government and the government of Turkey and therefore many incentives, funding assistance and tax breaks are available.

Inside Property Sales In North Cyprus

At first, people view almost all the different types of property listings in Cyprus. However, after reviewing their budget more closely, those with limited funds usually narrow it down to those similar in price to cheap studio apartments in Cyprus. Most prospective buyers will find out that doing research on the regions and properties available around Cyprus will pay off during negotiations when it comes time to actually purchase a property in Cyprus. It is important to check out the reasons why a property (e.g. apartments in Paphos, or villas in Nicosia) might be listed at a lower price than the average in the neighborhood before actually bidding on the property.

The advantages for buying property in Cyprus are just endless but you will no doubt come out winning in so many different ways. So let’s not start off on the wrong foot and make any mistakes when it comes to the purchase of your property. You will more than likely have contact with the owner, so always make sure that you ask them any important questions as well as asking the agent. If you don’t have contact with the owner, then try contacting the neighbors. Don’t forget that if you are dealing with an authentic bargain, it is because the owners are after a quick sale, so don’t offer the asking price.

Your success as a buyer or investor will depend on the situation you are in, your knowledge of the market and what the seller wants from the sale of their property. If you have a mortgage agreed in principle; are a cash or first time buyer; or have no chain, you are generally a more attractive buyer to anyone selling property in Cyprus. This will work in your favor unless there are already multiple offers for the property. Ensure the seller’s estate agent understands the exact details of your requirements and situation.

Today we are living through a property crisis throughout most of the world and as we see the market slow down, we see that it is the purchaser that now has the negotiating power. This though does not yet apply in Cyprus as this paradise Island is at its development peak and demand is still rising. This may be due to the fact that if you were to sell your small apartment in the south of England, you could then go on to buy a luxury apartment in Northern Cyprus.

When looking into a possible purchase and especially at an agreed price, you need to take into consideration what it will actually cost you in refurbishment costs in order to get the property up to top standard. Take a professional along with you and get a quote for any work that need carrying out and then make sure that this amount is reflected in your offer. You may also want to take into account a bank survey as this price is what the bank considers as it’s value. It is a good independent way of finding out if you are getting a bargain or not and you could consider it as an insurance policy for not getting ripped off.

The so called boom years may have gone in certain parts of Europe, but Cyprus is just flowing with investment opportunities. The property investment sector is headed by the sale of small studios and one bedroom apartments which are ideal for couples. The low budget sector is in fact ideal for those people with limited resources as they will not only end up with a second property, but also with a holiday home and a source of additional income as they are ideal for letting out.

I have done so much research for people on the internet regarding independent property investment advice in Cyprus and I have only come across one site that hits the mark in those areas. This magnificent blog at CyprusInformer is full of great tips on property investment and even just living in Cyprus so make sure that you do carry out some research and make sure you visit the Cyprusinformer blog.

Cyprus Villas – Buy To Let Investments

You may not be at all familiar with property market terminology so in layman’s terms “Buy to Let” means just that. You only have to buy a property, complete and then let it out. There is just one special rule to take into consideration and that it that your estimated rental income fully covers your mortgage costs.

If you decided to buy and then rent out your property you must remember there are two seasons, Low Season and High Season. A high season in Northern Cyprus will be around 7 months of the year, while the low season is the remaining months which are left, but don’t worry because Northern Cyprus as over 300 days of the year of clear blue skies and you’ll find that families like to get away from the dull winter to a nice sunny place like Northern Cyprus.

So let’s quickly run through a nice example of what it will cost you. Let’s say you looking for a property in the value of Euro 250,000, which you can get with a very nice sea view. If you’re buying new then you’ll have to put a reservation fee down for Euro 3000 and this will hold the property for you. After that you’ll have to put a 30% deposit down so that will be around Euro 75,000, don’t forget you have to take the Euro3000 off which you have already paid.

With the deposit out of the way we just have to deal with the 175.000 Euro balance, which we are going to finance. Have a good look at all of the different mortgage options but I would recommend a interest only mortgage, as this way your monthly payments are lower. We will take the best rate in current conditions then the resulting monthly payments work out at about 800 Euro, that being 9.600 per year.

The average rental over a 12 month period for a Northern Cyprus property is around 10 months plus. Now on a property valued at this much you can ask for the following rental prices; High Season Euro 2600 Per Month – Low Season Euro 1500 per Month.

So if we go into a little fine detail on the property we have just purchased, let’s calculate on it being rented out for around 6 months over the high season and about 4 in the low season. This you may be amazed to know works out at 21.600 Euro rental income in your pocket. Well you will have to appoint a property management company to take care of your payments such as community charges, but this won’t be more than 1000 Euro a year. Are you beginning to see why property investment in Northern Cyprus sounds interesting?

So if your fancy buying a property and renting it out why not try Northern Cyprus, over 2.6 million people visited Cyprus last year and this number is growing year by year, so you can see there is a massive market for renting. The blog at CyprusInformer.org is a very useful guide that we assist you in making the right decision on property in Cyprus.
