Cyprus property 'is a great investment'
2008-06-02 02:00:00 Two holiday home buyers from Scotland have outlined the advantages of owning a property in Cyprus. According to Ian and Cathy Rutherford, purchasing a house on the Mediterranean island has proved to be a "great investment". Speaking to the Sunday Mail, they said this is because they have been able to rent it out during those times that it would otherwise be empty. Furthermore, they stated that continuing increases in house prices in Cyprus means that the value of their new home is going up. . Mrs Rutherford commented: "A similar apartment sold recently for about £20,000 more than we bought ours for, so it's a great investment too." She added that as soon as they retire, they plan to spend far more time living in their Cypriot property. This comes after the Independent said that Cyprus does not seem to have been negatively affected by the worldwide financial crisis. According to the newspaper, this development represents a "convincing case"...

Cyprus overtakes established property markets
2008-05-19 02:00:00 Cyprus has been ranked ahead of many established property markets in a poll of the most popular foreign destinations. According to research by Jet-to-Let magazine, the Mediterranean island is the main hotspot of activity for property buyers from the UK this year. This is the second year in succession that Cyprus has headed the list, ahead of traditional destinations such as France, Italy and Spain. The publication also highlighted the growing trend of people choosing to invest abroad rather than in the UK. Dominic Farrell, editor of Jet-to-Let magazine, attributed this to a number of positive economic circumstances in Cyprus. He commented: "The adoption of the euro, the interest rate cut, oil and gas finds offshore and low taxes continue to make Cyprus very attractive for investors and homebuyers alike." This comes after the Independent said that Cyprus does not seem to have been negatively affected by the worldwide financial crisis. According to the newspaper, thi...

Britons dominate Cyprus tourism
2008-04-21 02:00:00 Official figures have revealed that Cyprus was a highly popular destination for British holidaymakers last month. According to data published by the Financial Mirror, more than 108,000 people visited the Mediterranean island in March. Statistics showed that more than half of these people hailed from the UK. Furthermore, the overall number of British visitors was 8.9 per cent higher than at the same point in 2007. This comes despite the recent fall in the value of the pound against the euro, which was adopted by Cyprus at the beginning of the year. However, the fact that Easter was unusually early this year was cited as one of the main reasons for the increase in visitor numbers. This comes after the Independent stated that Cyprus has not been negatively affected by the current financial crisis across the world. According to the newspaper, house price inflation is outpacing many other European countries, as values went up by 20 per cent last year.

According to the Independent, house prices in the Mediterranean island went up by 20 per cent last year.

Commenting on its suitability for foreign property buyers, the Independent remarked: "It looks as though the island may buck the current trend for falling house prices." The publication added that Cyprus also offers a number of lifestyle attractions, such as quiet villages, thriving resorts and affordable properties. According to the Home Move website, property values in Cyprus are likely to go up by about eight per cent this year.

Cyprus Holiday Villas and Apartments
2008-04-11 21:52:00 Great holiday rental villas and apartments in Cyprus. Renting Cyprus holiday villas and apartments is a great value option in terms of price. Although the cost of renting a holiday villa or apartment will vary enormously, nonetheless, renting a self-catering holiday home is a great option when compared to hotels on the island.

Modern developments and older villas in their own private grounds on the hillsides tend to be a bit more expensive than older villas clustered in small groups. Almost all villas and apartments have air-conditioning. Sometimes that’s included in the rental price. If it’s charged separately, don’t worry, the cost of electricity is not high in Cyprus.
