All About Northern Cyprus Property

1097728_cayman_brac_1.jpgSomewhere that is a really hot place to live in Europe at the moment is Northern Cyprus and it may just be down to the 300 sunny days it has each year. Cyprus is the 3rd largest Mediterranean island and it's villa expansion has become immune to the current economical crisis. Northern Cyprus is still growing as villa purchases continue to rise and the word out there is that people just love the all year round perfect climate. This means that the rental sector is really going strong as the season is so much longer.

North Cyprus offers a unique package of lower year round prices, one of the oldest cultures in Europe, friendly locals, excellent security with low crime rate and don't forget those constant blue skies. All in all you really cannot go wrong with property investment here and you are about to discover more reasons why.

Should you be considering a quick profit or a long term investment, then you will find that Northern Cyprus is the place for you. In Cyprus new villas and developments are still being built and you won't see any cranes standing still here. If it is a quick profit that suits your needs, then just buy off plan and then 18 months later you can sell on completion, leaving you with an average 15 - 25% net profit.

A few years ago I only had a UK mortgage and decided to invest in a holiday home in Cyprus. I no longer have a UK mortgage thanks to that investment and by being able to rent it out for an average of 14 weeks per year. Apart from the appreciation value added to my investment, I have also covered the monthly mortgage payments with the monthly rental income. The truth is that I have manged to buy 2 more villas over the last couple of years, which is what helped me to clear my UK mortgage.

A booming new build market normally makes way for bargains to be found in the second hand property market. I have seen villas with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathroom and a pool for about 120.000 pounds sterling and all that with a sea view. I see this as a good long term investment and a good tip is to always offer about 15% less than the asking price as these guys like to haggle a bit.

Northern Cyprus Europe's Current Hot Spot!

protaras1.jpgIf you are looking for Europe's current hot spot to set up home then you will need to head over to Northern Cyprus, which boasts more than 300 hundred sunny days per year. Cyprus itself is a fairly large island in the Mediterranean sea and does not seem to have felt any effect from the current economical crisis that has a grip on the rest of Europe. Villa investment in Northern Cyprus continues as it comes to a halt in the rest of the continent and "buy to let" seems to be the answer as people just love Cyprus and it's almost perfect all year round climate.

You will find it hard to find a better holiday location in Europe at such great prices. This popular destination in Europe also boasts one of the oldest cultures to explore and the current local population are just so friendly. With those blue skies in mind, property investment in Cyprus has become one of the safest places to invest. You will also find to be a very safe environment to live in as it boasts the lowest crime rate throughout the EU.

Northern Cyprus is ideal for both long and short term profits, so you need not look any further for your next property investment. I have been to Spain recently and was shocked at the amount of developments just standing still, whereas in Cyprus you will see new cranes being set up every week. For you "quick profit and I'm out of here" investors, I would recommend just buying off-plan and selling on completion and this would result in net profits of up to 25%.

I had a UK mortgage until recently and I am so glad that I managed to pay it off, otherwise I would have been in trouble by now. How did I do it you may well ask and you just won't believe how easy it has really been. I invested in a Cyprus villas about 3 years ago and was then able to rent it out on an average of 15 weeks per year. This covered the mortgage payments and I was able to invest in 2 more villas over the following years. All the extra income has helped me pay off my UK mortgage and I also have 3 villas that have virtually doubled in price.

As the new build market takes off and continues to grow, the resale market takes a bit of a bashing, so you need to be ready to pick up a few bargains as a good long term investment option. An average 3 bed, 2 bath villa with pool and sea views can be picked up for as little as 120.000 pounds sterling. Always offer about 15% under the asking price and you will be surprised at just how many people will go for it.
