Be patient but also bear in mind you will have to pay in ....Russian rubies
Cypriot " luxury" developers are shiting them selves right now, what with the end of Golden passports and the absence of Russians who the fuck will pay 1.5 milli9m euros for a one bedroom flat
Cyprus isn't Monte Carlo, salaries of 1000 to 1500 euros per month are not enough for the average Cypriot to invest such rediculous prices. In the meantime Im expecting a call from one developer ready to accept my original offer which I have now withdrawn.
If and when these properties do not sell at all and the banks take them over from developers to recoup some of the bank’s monies, they will be auctioned off, so Milti, look for announcement for such deals and go there with cash in your pocket and pick up a bargain or two.
I have been following the Cypriot housing market for more than 20 years. First lesson I learnt is that you NEVER rush to buy, you bite your time and pounce when is right. In September 2020 I sold a 3 bed appartment at 210000, I just wanted a different area. To my utter disgust when I tried to bank the Cyprus bank bank draft with my Cyprus bank, I was told that there would be a half a percent charge, 1000 euros. I was irritated and told the manager to fuck off. I trotted on the the issuing bank, also bank of Cyprus? No questions asked, money was credited and cleared on th3 spot without a charge. Naturally I immediately transferred to my UK bank all of it, somehow, don't know why, I DO NOT trust Cypriot banks.
In the meantime, two months ago my UK based son is bying or trying to buy, a one bdrm app in Paphos. The solicitor has requested evidence of where the money came from, regulation apparently as my son does not have a Cypriot ID.
I have adviced him to hold on but he allready gave a deposit and he could lose it. Ah well, this is Cyprus, if you know what I mean. By the way, the Cypriots hqv3 their own VIAGRA.REALLIA
