My wife and I can give you first-hand knowledge about how to be resident of Cyprus and live here.
And may be the most important: We can tell you about our experience about moving to Cyprus, emigration, tax and how to find the «right» place to live and how to buy property.
So far, we can give you the following advice:
- If you consider buying flat or housing, you ought to take a inspection trip to find out more about the area.
- The best thing to do is to rent an apartment in the area for a period so you can find out if you like it or not.
- Based on own and others experience, we strongly recommend to use a lawyer and/or real estate agent for your own country in the buying process – especially before signing the contract.
Further we can recommend you to ask the following questions:
- In which area should I buy apartment to be sure that I can rent it out when I, my family and friends do not use it or I move to Cyprus and live there permanent?
- Is it easy to rent out an apartment and is it anybody who can arrange this with checking in, cleaning, control and checking out? And how much does this cost?
- Do you have own experience (good and not so good) about buying apartment or house?
- Ask for how many years guarantee the developer offer?
- Just think: Can’t the developer offer long guarantee if the quality is good?
- Ask the following question to people who already have bought apartment in the area:
- Are you satisfied and can you recommend me to buy an apartment from the same developer?
