Real estate in Cyprus: how to choose the perfect apartment for investment
Cyprus is not only a sunny island with a wonderful climate and amazing nature, but it is also a promising place for real estate investment. Due to stable price growth, high demand for rentals due to the increased influx of tourists and attractive tax conditions, buying an apartment in Cyprus can be a very profitable investment. If you are interested in buying real estate, then you are definitely wondering which apartments have the greatest investment potential and what is important to consider for a foreign buyer.
Which apartments in Cyprus are the most attractive for investment?
To answer this question, it is better to make a division into types of objects and zones, paying attention to some of their nuances. As a result, we will get the following picture.
- Apartments in tourist areas.
Cyprus cities such as Limassol, Paphos and Larnaca are very popular with tourists. There is a high demand for short-term rentals, especially during the summer season. At the same time, apartments with sea views or near beaches have an additional advantage.
- New buildings.
Modern residential complexes with energy-efficient technologies and developed infrastructure (swimming pools, gyms, security) attract tenants and buyers. New buildings often offer lower operating costs.
- Apartments in business districts.
Nicosia, the capital of Cyprus, as well as the central areas of Limassol are popular with businessmen and expats, which provides a stable demand for long-term rentals.
- Properties with the potential to increase in value.
Apartments in developing areas or suburbs, where prices are still lower but infrastructure and demand are expected to increase.
Useful recommendations for a foreign buyer
Profitable investment in real estate in Cyprus, finding the ideal apartment for your requirements and opportunities, minimize risks – all this is real, especially if you use the following recommendations:
- Study the market. Analyze the prices, demand and development prospects of the areas. Contact local real estate agents for up-to-date information.
- Check that the property is legally clean. Make sure there are no encumbrances on the apartment, such as mortgages or legal disputes. For this purpose, contact an experienced lawyer.
- Pay attention to the tax advantages. Cyprus has low taxes on rental income and no inheritance tax. Owners of real estate worth 300,000 euros or more can obtain a residence permit. Consequently, real estate in Cyprus is really profitable for investment.
- Determine the purpose of the investment. If you plan to rent out the apartment, then choose objects in popular tourist and business districts. For subsequent resale with the purpose of making a profit in the future will be suitable for apartments in areas with an expected rise in prices.
- Evaluate the infrastructure. When buying an apartment, you should pay attention to the infrastructural development of the area. Important moments will be the proximity to schools, stores, hospitals and transportation hubs, it increases the attractiveness of the apartment for tenants.
- Plan your budget properly. When thinking about budgeting, take into account additional costs, such as stamp duty, VAT, as well as the services of professionals (realtor, lawyer, real estate inspection expert), without which it is impossible to quickly and safely cope with the task of finding and buying an apartment.
Investing in real estate in Cyprus is an opportunity not only to save but also to multiply capital. The main thing is to carefully choose the object, take into account the peculiarities of the market and attract professionals to support the transaction.
