Hi,

I’ve also bought in St Christopher’s and wanted to furnish it myself rather than using the developer so I was very pleased to read there is an Ikea around. I’m interested in any other more local furniture shops that you could recommend and also any contacts that would be able to keep an eye on the place.

Thanks,

Melanie

Hi Melanie,
I have used two good furniture shops that I can recomment. Pavlimbeis in Larnaca town centre is cheaper than most with reasonable quality and fast delivery... sometimes the same day.

We also used Elizantre, they have branches in Limassol and Paralimni. Good quality, reasonable prices and they delivery too.

Hi Melanie,

Really pleased that you have also bought in St. Christophers. We are coming to Cyprus in May to check things out and see about furniture etc. I will let you know how we go on.

Hi Babsm, Thank you for the names of the places, its always more convenient to be able to get that sort of thing locally if possible, I'll have a look into those.

Lesley, It would be great to hear a 'non-developer' opinion about the place, so please let me know how it goes out there. P.S. Did you go through IAprops to get this place?

We live very close to Anafotia. Where in the village is your development?

I like Anafotia its a nice little village. Its only about 2 miles from where I live & we've been keeping an eye on the progress of an apartment block being built by the developer of our apartment in Oroklini. We noticed your development being built a few months ago. Nice location, just on the outskirts of the village but just a short walk from the centre. About half of the houses are painted and the kitchens are being fitted. The road is a bit of a mess but that's not surprising given the rain. The apartment block is well underway too.

Are you going to live here or just using it for holidays?

Hi Babs M,

Thanks for the update. We have been receiving pictues as it has progressed but that's not quite the same as personal feedback. It should be completed around May so we are hoping to be able to get a good look around when we come over. Is it the same developer building the houses as well as the apartments?

Initially we will be using it for holidays and then take it from there. Not too sure if we could stand the heat at the height of summer.

You originally said you might be able to help us find someone to look after it when we are not there. Any ideas you have would be very welcome.

Thanks,

Lesley

Hi Lesley

No, the two developers are not the same. But at first glance it looks as if yours is doing a good job. We'll have a closer look when nobody is on site!

Actually I wondered if we could stand the heat of the summer but were surprised to find it OK last August. We are lucky in that our house attracts an afternoon breeze and because of that we hardly needed the aircon on. We moved in at the end of last July. Looking at the position of yours, the same thing might happen.
