If you are looking for villas for sale in Cyprus then you are in the right place because this article is a complete guide for what to look for when you are looking at purchasing property in Cyprus.
Cyprus is a true gem of the Mediterranean. It is known and loved for the near year-round sunshine with nearly 330 days a year on average of beautiful sunrises, warming rays to bask in and of course those world-famous sunsets.
The weather isn't the only reason to purchase a villa in Cyprus though. The locals are some of the friendliest around and if you find a village setting where the local population is by and large Cypriot then you are in for a real treat with local tavernas galore offering tantalising Cypriot dishes and a welcoming spirit that's not seen in many of the larger towns which have become 'spoiled' by tourism.
So what exactly should you look for in a luxury villa?
At the route of finding the perfect villa for you is understanding exactly what it is that you seek, after all how can you be sure you've found the right place if you're not entirely sure what you are looking for?!
Here is a quick checklist to help you make sure you have considered everything.
Specification - this criteria goes hand in hand with your budget (covered in price later in this guide) so make sure you are getting the highest specification within your price range. You will want to look at things like a swimming pool, the quality of the air conditioning, the standard of the kitchen and so on.
Location - Cyprus is famed for the stunning natural surroundings and spectacular views so be sure to look for a villa that offers this so as to ensure you don't miss out on what has to be as good a reason as any to buy a villa in Cyprus.
Facilities - if you are looking into acquiring a villa that is part of a development, make sure you look into what the development offers. If it is a quality development then things like security, internet access and maintenance of communal areas should have been considered.
Amenities - it really does depend on where you want to be, because sometimes you have to compromise immediate amenities like a shop for the peace and quiet or spectacular views. But if you are looking at making a permanent move to Cyprus, considering the local amenities is a must. You will probably want to make sure that there is a school nearby perhaps, or access to the local jobs market or transport network to make your life a little easier.
Price - understand your budget and look for the best possible property within that price range. It may sound like simple advice but so many property hunters make the fatal mistake of falling in love with a property that is a little bit over budget but then they find that actually they had set themselves a maximum budget for a reason, and that little extra meant they simply couldn't afford it. Also make sure you factor in other costs like annual ground rent (for maintenance of communal areas) solicitor's fees, escrow fees (if applicable) and real estate agent's fees.
