Areas to avoid in the Paphos region.

Without sounding flippant I am amazed that being in the 'property' business you are willing to consider turning away properties in Peyia (or anywhere else for that matter) when there is every possibility that you could make a very decent commission if sold. You would have nothing to lose.

There are lots of new, empty apartment blocks all over the Paphos region, house prices have dropped all over Cyprus, not just Peyia......we are in a recession. That is the FACT.

Yes we are in a recession and the only properties that are selling are those that are heavily discounted or those which are a little bit different to all the square concrete boxes. Apartments are not selling unless they are very cheap.
As for turning away properties we have not turned any away yet but are not falling over ourselves to take on any in Peyia as we already have so many on our books.
As for commission, unlike the big agents we do not charge big commissions. It is the greedy big agents who commanded huge commission that drove up the prices of properties to the point where many people now cannot sell because they paid too much in the first place.

But lets not fall out over over a difference of opinion Annie, you are happy living where you do and it sounds as though you were lucky enough to find a place where you cannot end up losing your view.
As I have already said, what suits one will not suit everyone. We all have different wants and needs and different tastes.

No problems sunbeam, as you can see it really is very much a matter of preference, only you can decide which area is best for you and to do that you need to come over and look for yourself.
All we can do is give our opinions and people can have very different views.

Veronica, sorry if it comes across as if I am arguing against you (typed postings don't always translate well and sometimes come across a bit blunt I suppose). I fully understand what you are trying to say and yes you are correct everyone is different, thank goodness;-)

Crikey wouldnt the world be a boring place if we all liked the same things and had the same opinions about everything.
All the fun would go out of life because we would have no one to argue with (in a friendly way of course)


I just had a depressing thought. Imagine X-factor with Simon and Louie agreeing with each about everything. How boring would that be?
HeHe.

Now stop! I have a thing for Simon Cowell, especially when he gets angry with Louie. I must be at a funny age!

Hi Veronica,

While out in Cyprus recently someone told us Konia was the most expensive & desirable place to buy property in the Paphos area. So, we drove to Konia with baited breath, wondering why, and left, well, still wondering why. It's pleasant but so are many other places. We couldn't see what all the fuss was about. Any ideas why it holds so much kudos?
