Villas for Rent in Cyprus Long Term – An Alternative Solution

 

There are generally three types of clients looking at villas for rent in Cyprus on long term leases.  Firstly those who are looking for a two or three month contract for an extended holiday to escape the winter in their own countries or to enjoy a summer season where the sunshine is guaranteed!   To be able to sink your toes into warm sand, feel the sun on your skin and look out on the sparkling blue Mediterranean Sea every single day guaranteed from May to October, or take advantage of the short mild winters, nowhere beats Cyprus! 

Then there are people who are thinking of a permanent move.  Relocating to a new country is a daunting decision, and it may be sensible to ‘try before you buy’ as there are many villas for rent in Cyprus on long term contracts.  Then once you are happy with life here you can look at the available Cyprus property for sale and proceed in buying a villa or holiday home in Cyprus of your own.  The key factor is to do your research and ask questions, the lifestyle is probably very different from the fast paced one you are leaving behind. It is slower but ordered and familiar as most of the simple regulations that you have to deal with were put in place when the British were here.

The third example of tenants looking at villas for rent in Cyprus, long term are people who want to relocate but are unable to buy their own Cyprus property for sale.  To qualify for a local mortgage you must have a 20% to 30% deposit and this can be impossible for some to find, but don’t despair as there is a wide choice of villas for rent in Cyprus long term in all areas.  Many are owned by Cypriots and ex-pats that have the property as an investment and are glad to have it occupied for the rental income and so that is lived in.

Southern Cyprus has long held the reputation of an ancient land, famous for its archaeological sites and diverse scenery from mountains to beautiful beaches. Nowadays, joining the EU has given the island a new confidence and there has been a subtle shift towards a more sophisticated, international outlook.  Also highly recommended is the cuisine, following a typical Mediterranean diet, traditional Cypriot food is simple, fresh, healthy and full of flavours.

During the day there are many beaches, perfect for exploring and enjoying the sun and for a more adventurous water skiing, diving, jet boats, boat rides, buggy rides, and par ascending - all widely available. As is golf, walking and hiking, horse riding, bird watching, cycling, bowls the list goes on and on.

It is easy to see why buying villa or holiday home in Cyprus appeals, the low crime rate, excellent health care and hi-tech communications along with the cosmopolitan lifestyle but comparatively low cost of living all creates an ideal environment.
