FREE Cyprus Property Buying Guide

Dear Reader,

A low crime rate? Direct flights? Lower cost of living? Less stress - a slower pace of life? A similar legal system to the UK? (I could go on…but we'd both be here all day…)

Okay… having mentioned all the positives, it must be said that Cyprus isn't perfect…there are negatives too!

Cypriots can't drive properly, they cook their meat way too long, some areas of the island look like a construction site, and most importantly, if you don't have local Cypriot knowledge and an understanding of the full property purchasing process you could have problems that may prove very costly.

Further more, as with ALL countries, there are good and bad business people. Unfortunately quite a few Brits have had bad experiences that could easily have been avoided. There are definite (and easy) ways to determine if a developer is good or bad. There are specific elements that MUST be in the contract of sale…and there are many ways to safeguard your purchase.

The sad fact is that many buyers don’t know how to determine if they’ve effectively protected their investment and thus their money.

• Buying off-plan property that does not have a building permit and thus failing to retain the title deeds. This is an enormous problem as it’s almost impossible to sell a property without the deeds. And it’s possible that the actual property will have to be demolished. Believe me, it has happened...



• Putting a non-refundable deposit down on the first property a buyer views later to realise that they could have purchased a similar property for much less.



• Signing a contract of sale without ensuring that it has the top 8 elements to protect the buyer.



• Buying a property from a developer that is known to be late on delivery or to provide poor quality construction.



• Failing to understand the various taxes and fees involved and underestimating the true cost of the property.



• Committing to purchase a property at a certain value in Euros and not realising that the price of the property changes every day in sterling value due to currency fluctuations. In some cases a property may cost £10,000 more than you originally budgeted for due to a fluctuation in the Euro against Sterling.



• Buyers are unaware that many solicitors work for the developers interests and not the buyers.



• Not knowing the difference between buying straight from a developer, through a registered (and legal) estate agent or buying from a marketing company and what option will provide you with the best service for the best price.



• Wrongly believing that you’ll be able to buy a property off-plan and easily sell it either on or before completion.



• Wrongly believing that you’ll be able to get enough money in rental income to easily cover your annual mortgage payments.



• Several other mistakes...

With the good solid information provided in the comprehensive Cyprus guide and other resources, you can learn how to avoid making these costly mistakes.

My Story....

Before I go any further, let me introduce myself. I think that if I give you a tiny bit of background, you'll see where I'm coming from and realise why I'm offering this information on Cyprus.

My name is Kim Brown and I'm a normal every-day person who works with Cyprus buyers, investors, developers and estate agents in an effort to bring REAL education that truly HELPS people to achieve their desires. (I don't sell property however I work in the industry by helping overseas property buyers save money buying and transfering currency.

I didn't always work in this industry… A few years back I was in IT, however something happened in my life that affected me in a way that caused me to take a stand try to make a difference!

My in-laws lost well over £20,000 buying an overseas property!

£20,000 was a huge chunk of their life savings. Mum and Dad had the dream of living a better life…they worked hard, paid their taxes and when it finally came time for them to relax and enjoy life their world fell apart.

Due to the stress and anxiety my mum is no longer with us and my father-in-law is back in the UK living in a mortgaged house while owning a property abroad that he can't get rid of.

It's events in our life like these that make people like me try to ensure that others don't make the same mistakes that my in-laws made.

The sad fact is that my in-laws made mistakes that were completely avoidable. Provided they had a source of information that offered local information, tips, things to avoid and ways to make the buying process easier, safer and faster, they could have realised their dream.

Well…I searched the Internet, high street books, travel stores, tourist literature and overseas property buying information. I could not find anything that actually offered comprehensive REAL information that covered all angles. There were some good bits and bobs, but I couldn't find ONE resource that actually helped with information on everything.

So…I decided to get into the world of overseas property by starting 'The Overseas Guides Company Limited,' and Cyprus was the first country my colleagues and I decided to tackle.

Over the last ten years during my numerous trips to Cyprus, I've dug deep into the Cyprus property industry… learning what to do, what not to do, who to trust, who not to trust, what was dodgy and what wasn't, how things happened, when they happened, how to make them happen easier, faster, safer…

Ultimately I set out to help you avoid frustration and costly mistakes, thuse enabling you to spend your time more effectively when buying a property in Cyprus.

I've collected information from any and everyone, and I mean everyone - developers, agents, UK buyers, kebab shop owners, bar owners, dentists, solicitors, accountants, waiters… I've discovered that there are ways to ensure that you get what you want - whether it's your dream home, a 2nd holiday property or for a pure investment property.

Contained within the FREE Cyprus Buying Guide guide (and within the Cyprus Buying Guide), you'll have access to information that will allow you to make informed decisions.

Avoid making the mistakes my in-laws and many others have made by taking the time to do your homework. I can bring a horse to water, but I can't make it drink! Please review the free guide - I guarantee that there will be at least one (if not 100's) of tips, ideas or stories that will enable you to avoid risks, save money or make the entire process easier and more enjoyable!
