Discovering Holiday Homes in Cyprus
Summary
With rising living standards and more leisure time, the global demand for holiday homes is increasing. This trend is evident not just for investment purposes but also for personal enjoyment. In this article, we’ll explore holiday homes in Cyprus, a popular destination for medium to high-income buyers.
Cyprus in the Holiday Home Market
Cyprus ranks third in the international holiday home market, following Spain and Portugal, with Malta close behind. Unlike Greece, which faces challenges like limited airports and complex property laws, Cyprus offers a favorable environment for foreign property buyers, who account for 70% of holiday home purchases on the island.
Regional Demand Analysis
The appeal of Cyprus varies across regions:
- Free Famagusta/Protaras: 50% Cypriot, 50% foreign buyers.
- Larnaca: 20% Cypriot, 80% foreign buyers.
- Limassol: 10% Cypriot, 90% foreign buyers.
- Paphos: 5% Cypriot, 95% foreign buyers.
- Mountain Resorts (Platres, Moniatis): 60% Cypriot, 30% foreign buyers.
- Traditional Villages (Lania, Lefkara, Kakopetria): Predominantly foreign buyers, excluding expatriates.
Key Considerations for Buying
Location
The property's proximity to the sea greatly affects its value. Consider the surrounding environment to avoid noise pollution from clubs or highways.
Architecture and Functionality
Ensure the architectural quality is high to maintain property value and avoid deterioration over time.
Environment and Amenities
Check for green spaces, parking, and security measures. The presence of decorative plants and fenced areas enhances appeal.
Administration and Common Expenses
Effective administration is crucial, especially in holiday homes with seasonal occupancy. It's advisable to choose projects maintained by the developer for a minimum of five years to ensure proper management and cooperation among residents.
Neighbor Research
Understanding the property culture among buyers is valuable. Foreign buyers tend to be cooperative, while some local buyers might not treat joint properties with the same care.
Pricing Trends
Prices generally show an upward trend, except in Paphos, where a 10% decrease has been noted due to reduced foreign demand.
