Cyprus to join the Eurozone

 

After its succession to the EU, Cyprus has set itself the goal of joining the Euro Zone on the 1st January, 2008. By replacing the Cyprus pound with the Euro, Cyprus will further enhance its suitability as an international business centre which is likely to lead to benefits in the Cyprus property market as well as to the economy as a whole. There will no longer be exchange rate risks between countries already in the Euro Zone and there will no longer be any bank-related costs for prospective home buyers from Euro Zone countries. Buyers will be able to compare prices more easily.

 

Dr. Stelios Platis, Compiler of the BuySell Real Estate Home Price Index, which constitute the only valid gauge of the Cyprus housing market, comments, “The adoption of the Euro in Cyprus is an exciting progression. The positive effects upon the economy are likely to increase demand in an already buoyant market and therefore lead to an increase in house prices.”

 

Litsa Chrysostomou, Marketing Manager at BuySell Real Estate comments, “The property market in Cyprus is established, predictable and much less volatile than other newer markets. Furthermore, the excellent internal and international transport links to the UK, Europe and other destinations; the very low crime rate; the high standard of living balanced by the low cost of living; tax benefits (including low tax for pensioners) and excellent medical and educational facilities make Cyprus a popular destination.”

 

For those who are considering purchasing a second home in Cyprus, BuySell Real Estate offers three-night inspection trips which are an excellent way to view the island and potential properties. BuySell Real Estate tailors each visit to meet the client’s specific wishes. The inspection trips are available from as little as CYŁ49 (approx. UKŁ57) and this includes return flights from six major UK airports (Heathrow, Gatwick, Luton, Stanstead, Manchester, Birmingham) accommodation for three nights, airport transfers in Cyprus, transportation to and from all properties and visits to points of interest. All clients are given a thorough understanding of the financial aspects of buying property in Cyprus and have the option of meeting independent legal and financial advisor if this is required. Finally, there is no obligation to buy and no ‘hard sell’.
