Right, onward - so we have established transfers can occur for private purchases within the RoC! So property buying should trundle along unhindered - and it's looking more attractive as an investment than leaving large sums of money in ANY bank!

And yes, perhaps there should be restrictions imposed on how many properties non-EU nationals may purchase because the island is small.

But, doubtless, Cyprus will become the number one property hotspot in the EU - if only simply because most southerly regions* of a country command better prices than northerly parts for maximum sun and likewise Cyprus is most southerly in the EU.

*(in the northern hemisphere)


What parts of the EU are in the Southern hemisphere?


I thought I'd better cover all eventualities as someone (who shall remain nameless) is having trouble grasping basics outside his bucket-world :wink:

But who knows where Mekel's power will reach ...

No... :roll:

You'll know because you live here full time that the limitations state that you can have €300 per day each out of a joint account... try and get it from a cash machine...

No, I was pointing out that the published restrictions are not necessarily what you discover at the bank... :roll:

Exactly the same thing happened in Iceland when people were worried about the money in the banks, they bought real estate.

Don't worry, it's just a minor spike that will dissipate in a month, and won't affect prices.


Just a minute, on a recent thread you told us:

cyprus40280.html

It will hit you guys real soon that a lot of people owe more than they own. This will result in increased number of bankruptcies, but even more the "will to pay" will decrease as people realize they are paying a debt that seems insurmountable. Also, going bankrupt will almost seem like a "way out". The banks will get a lot of homes into their "arms" very soon, as people cannot pay. House prices will plummet which further increases this problem.


So which is it: property prices will plummet, just like they did in Iceland
OR
property prices will boom, just like they did in Iceland?

PS - It can't be both.

That is true because it can take days for the changed restrictions to filter down to the branch staff.

Indeed...

I'm sure the counter staff don't get a briefing on all the changes every morning...

...the computers don't seem to get briefed at all...

Still, the restrictions will only last for four days right...?
