If you are looking to buy property in Cyprus , the process can be fraught with uncertainties and worries as you look for that dream house in an area in which, to be frank, youre not all that familiar. Here, Cyprus is no different. So, how do you go about finding the right property developer in Cyprus?
Finding a licensed property developer in Cyprus can be tricky as there is a large number of un authorised developers who are willing to sell badly constructed properties. You can weed these developers out by simply asking them if they are licensed and also if they are a member of the Cyprus Property Developers Association. This was set up four years ago by a group of unhappy property owners in Cyprus to resolve their issues with the various Cyprus property developers who had not completed their homes to budget or on spec.
While the Association may not be able to give you conclusive evidence that your chosen developers is either the best or worst in the business, they should speak English and should be able to give you some reassurance towards calming your worries. Also, with the European Confederation of Developers trying to harmonise the standards of developers across Europe (which these days includes Cyprus), the Association should be able to give you the name of some reputable real estate agents in the area where you are looking.
Besides checking the details of any Cyprus Property Developer with the Association, if you know anyone in Cyprus, you might also want to ask them if they have any recommendations. In fairness, there is rarely anything as good as a good recommendation given by word-of-mouth.
Finally, if you are still in the UK looking for property in Cyprus before you go, then the Internet has a wide selection of Cyprus Property Developers advertising their wares. In most cases, the sites also have a good selection of pictures of properties, which, if nothing else, will give you some idea of the types of property that the developer commonly deals with.
But, keep in mind that although many Brits do use the services of English-speaking real estate agents they found on the Internet, the Internet itself is no assurance that the real estate agent is going to be good so if you do find a developer this way, try to get testimony from someone who has used them before or ask for proof that theyre a member of the Association.
