My advice would be to go into renovating old houses rather than building from scratch.
There are a lot of old properties crying out to be renovated and also more and more people now looking for such properties. There are grants available for these proerties as long as certain features are kept intact.
We sell properties needing renovation and our clients are always looking for decent builders to do the work.

good luck in your venture.

hi thanks for that!!!!! it's a bit of a relief knowing that at least she will have work!! i'm not looking to build or renevate houses... more provide a consultantcy service for people moving to cyprus.. be their eyes and ears here until they arrive.. are there many companies that provide this kind of service? as securing a job would be preferable to the risks involved in starting out on my own...
