Your options when buying property
As well as deciding where you want to live in Cyprus, you need to decide what type of property you want:
- If you're wanting something new, buying an off-plan property from a developer is very popular, particularly if you are not too concerned over its design.
- If you want to take delivery of your new home as soon as possible, buying a resale property is the option you should consider.
- If you want to live in a traditional village, you might think about buying an old village house in need of renovation and some tender loving care.
- If you're buying a home and have strong thoughts & ideas about its design, and are prepared to put in the time & effort to get exactly what you want, then buying a custom property is the option you need to explore; but of course, you'll need to buy land on which to build it.
Each of these options has its own advantages and disadvantages. You'll find more about these, and some advice on how to avoid some of the pitfalls, by following the links on the right hand side of this page.
And I'll show you how to go about finding properties for sale in Cyprus and avoid the cowboy estate agents.
