I have to agree with Nigel, it certainly is a load of tosh.
My advice to anyone looking to buy in Cyprus (and I sell property here) is do not do it unless it is for your own retirement, or you can afford to wait for several years before seeing any returns i nthe form of profit. If you have to borrow to buy do not even consider it at this time as the market is stagnant.
Rental income will not cover any mortagage no matter what the developers tell you.

There seems to be a huge boom out there right now, with properties being built everywhere - but prices are also well on the way up - so I?m not sure if we've missed the boat, so to speak, as just a year ago prices were a lot lower.
To cut a long story short, we've found a 3 bed villa, with a pool, about 300m from a beach, and in a popular tourist location. Similar nearby villas are being rented out at peak season for a fat wad of cash. Some quick sums suggest the rental income will pay somewhere around 80% of the mortgage costs after I?ve put down a deposit (my calcs are assuming it will be empty for about 6 months of the year) .

I love the location, and the country, and could really see myself living out there when I chose to retire, and this seems a great way to buy a retirement home over the next 15 years or so.
Interested to here any comments from people who have already done this and failed or succeeded..
Any related advice much appreciated.
Regards
Andre
You will never be too late as long as you are buying at below market price. Just make sure that you have done all your due diligence beforehand and that you are happy with the developer and the agent. Make sure that if someone can build nearby its not in your front door!!
TRegards
Tim

Developers are still holding out for top prices, thinking that if the Brits can't afford to buy (£ down 20% v. the Euro) the Russians can. In today's market look for a resale from a deperate selller.

Lysos is aboslutey right. There are many people whio are desperate to sell because for one reason or anther (usually health or family matters) they have to return to the Uk.
The resale market is very slow as developers persuade people that off plan is the best buy, which it might have been at one time but is not now.
This means that there are a lot of people who are now willing to take less for their properties especially as the euro will now buy them a better home back in the UK due to the exchange rate.
Take a look at Cyprus villas, apartments and property for sale. Properties in Paphos.
You will find a goodrange of resales there

Yes, and no. Go to :

CyprusLiving Home Page

Put Latchi Panorama into the search box and read the thread. Lots of misleading advertising from agents who don't seem too sure where Latchi is !.

Polis/Latchi is a lovely area, although the road from Paphos up to it is not the greatest. There are properties of all sorts all over the region. This point in time gives great opportunities for buying a resale or a development. Resales are great if you have the ready cash and are ready to move, however the developments are great if you dont have the full cash available and are happy to purchase over time.
Mortgages are available, however not everyone wants the committment of a morgage.

Everybody's needs are different and so it is difficult to comment without knowing your situation.
