Have you ever dreamed of owning your own holiday home in the sun? Imagine how you would feel if you could turn that dream into a glorious reality and own that elusive property in the warm Mediterranean sunshine. Enjoying those long summers with your family and friends relaxing by your own private pool or enjoying a barbecue dinner with a glass of wine as you watch a magnificent sunset over the Ocean. It all sounds too good to be true and you probably think that for you it could never ever happen but, you may be wrong. More and more people are buying property in Cyprus and even retiring there to live their golden years in the sun.

Property in Cyprus is still relatively cheap compared with some of the more affluent parts of Europe and this makes it more affordable than you may at first imagine. You can still pick up a brand new apartment with all mod cons and a communal swimming pool for around ?70k British pounds! When you compare that with the cost of an apartment in the U.K they are still areal bargain. There is a lot more to it than that though because the cost of living inn Cyprus is also much lower than The U.K. too.

Council tax or rates are a fraction of those in England and despite the fact that Cyprus is an Island the water bills are minuscule as well. With the average wage in Cyprus round about ?cy150.00 per week your money bought in from the U.K will go quite a long way indeed. Mobile phones and fixed lines are also a lot less expensive as is electricity. Oh! and how about taxing you car for ?30.00 a year plus petrol round about .58p a litre too.

If none of the above is enough to tempt you out of draughty old Britain and into the warm Cyprus sun how about this. The Cyprus banks are now offering loans (subject to status) for none residents to purchase property on the Island. Many people are releasing equity in their U.K. homes and financing the balance using this method. It does get better still because they are then renting their Cyprus properties out whilst they are not using them for themselves.This is helping to pay off the loan and covers the cost of property maintenance ect.

With the value of Cyprus property continuing to rise there couldn't be a better time to live that dream and buy an apartment or villa. You, your family and friends will have years of enjoyment in the sun whilst your investment continues to grow. Why wait until you are priced out of the Cyprus property market just like so many were who dreamt of a home in Spain. Remember he (or she) whom hesitates is lost. So take a harder look at property in Cyprus and who knows we may even bump into you when you are living in the sun. Enjoy Cyprus and we wish you every success in living that dream!
