Cyprus Property Sales Improving...Officially!

Whilst we at the Buy Cyprus office in Larnaca already knew that the property market was improving (judging by the number of visitors and successes we have enjoyed since we launched Buy Cyprus in July!) we were pleased to read this morning that the Cypriot property market is 'officially' moving again.

Data just released from the Land Registry department stated that the number of foreign buyers purchasing property in Cyprus was infact slightly improved on the same period for 2009 - which is brilliant news! The Land Registry announced that all districts of Cyprus were increased in volume but the highest was infact Famagusta, home to the holiday destinations Agia Napa, Protaras and Paralimni in addition to some lovely traditional villages such as Liopetri and Sotira. Sales in this area were up 119 per cent compared to the previous year! However, Larnaca sales were DOUBLED on 2009 - including Oroklini - followed by Paphos, Limassol and finally the capital city, Nicosia.

Enouraging news for everyone in the property market and also those thinking about making the move - either permanently or securing a holiday home whilst the prices are considerably lower than before. There really never has been a better time to get a bargain home in the sun.

You know who to come to when you are ready... :) http://www.buycyprus.net/

Still BBQ weather in Lovely Larnaca...time to make the move?

If you've already made the move to the wonderful island of Cyprus you'll be well aware of the absolutely fantastic sunny weather we are still enjoying here right now. It's November yet still the sunshine starts at 7am and we enjoy cloudless skies until the dusky pink sunset just after 5pm. Come evening the smell of BBQ wafts through the air and Cypriots (and us ''adopted Cypriots'') congregate on terraces and outside favoured drinking establishments and while away the balmy evenings eating pork souvla - the Cypriot national dish. If you're yet to make the move over and are considering leaving cloudy grey skies behind then you could not hope for a more pleasant climate or a more relaxed Mediterranean island for your great escape!

The office at Buy Cyprus has been a hive of activity and our reputation for matching perfect rental properties to our clients is now bordering on infamous! Infact, although we've just completed the website for sales (you'll find our new site at http://www.buycyprus.net/) we are renting properties in Oroklini (see photo above) and Pyla the day they arrive on the market - hence you won't see any displayed on the website just yet!

If you're looking to rent in Cyprus and in particular these two lovely, traditional Cyprus villages then you've definitely found your ideal property partner in us. Pop in for a chat or call/email us anytime. We will give you honest and open advice about the lifestyle and what you can get for your budget - but as a guide price at the moment it's around EURO 350 for a one bed apartment and EURO 450 for a two bed and you can even get a 3 bedroom house with a private pool for EURO 800. Beats the prices overseas and the sun is shining!

With increasingly stressful lifestyles in the modern world, relocating to enjoy a life in new surroundings is becoming more and more tempting. We'll be using the BuyCyprus.net blog to let you see glimpses of the world that is waiting for you right here in lovely Larnaca.
