Is now the right time to buy?
Any time really is the right time to buy your dream vacation property in Cyprus.
You just have to remember one thing when your purchasing your Cyprus property, does your rent cover your mortgage? If it does which in 99% of most cases it will then go ahead and buy one.
You should be looking at this as a long term savings plan, with very sunny vacations included. Not many banks can offer you that!
So what should you consider before you buy your Cyprus property?
You really spend a great amount of time looking for what you are really after, you could even hire an estate agent out if you wish, they will gladly take your around. You\'ll find if you do it this way the agent might be able to get you a discount rate, but you will need to ask first.
Have you considered the size of your Cyprus property? 3 bedroom 4 bedroom etc... Plus how many times might you be using it, or what type of people are you going to rent it to. Next you need to know if your after a beachfront property, how far is it from the airport, how far is it from the main town centre and things like that.
So if you\'ve found somewhere or you might have you eye on your dream property remember you need to allocate about 10% over your budget on the asking price, this will help you cover all the extra costs, like VAT, Transfer of Titles, agents fee\'s.
Like any property if you want to reserve it you\'ll have to pay a reservation deposit. This reservation deposit will help you secure your property. Deposit are usually around 10% - 15% of the asking price. Like any property in Cyprus bought, once you have paid your deposit then the purchase price says the same until completion.
There is one down side to this! You need to remember that your deposit is none refundable, so make sure you\'re very happy with your purchase of your dream Cyprus property before you pay your deposit.
There are two sides to Cyprus and each have there own rules about buying property. Both are very straight forward, but the only concern you need when your buying a property in Northern Cyprus is you need to open a Northern Cyprus bank account. This is very straight forward.
