Rather than relying on what members of the forum might or might not know, you should take legal advice before making an offer on any property.

Whatever letting route you take you will need an agent of some type who can deal with cleaning, changeover, meet & greet, emergency call out, key holding etc. There is probably some kind of English publication covering the area and you will find various companies advertising 'property...

A simple google search on Mr. A C-W, will find that back in Dec. 2011 someone of that name was promoting an investment in a care home supposedly owned & profitably run by an outfit called Evolution Capital Investments. The investment would return 10% p.a. for 5 years & then return all your...

The original poster - Adrian C-W - was quite effusive in his praise of this development/scam. Nothing from him since. I wonder if he might have had a vested interest ......... Draw your own conclusions.

So, nearly 4 years on from the original post and not a word from Mr. C-W about all the profit he was going to make.

Looks like they've finally hit the wall. Just surprised it's taken this long. Sales staff were on huge commissions & the MD liked to rub shoulders with pro footballers; had a box at Old Trafford, sponsored Port Vale and even has Andy Townsend fronting the promotional video. Add in the...

Three questions: Why ? What research have you done so far ?. What experience do you have in this field ?.

There was a short thread on this in 2010 under - Vista Do Falcao.

Totally concur with Pippin that young Cypriots had it too good for too long. The majority of staff in hotels, bars, restaurants, kiosks and supermarkets are not Cypriot and even if the Cypriots are now willing to do these jobs the incumbents are not going to give them up. Lots of businesses...

My last post was in response to a post that has since been renewed, but is still apposite to all property markets.

Forecasts & predictions are no more than someone's opinion. These 'experts' have been wrong time after time. They are usually quite good at telling you why their forecasts were wrong, usually due to 'unforseen circumstances'. Opinions are like noses - pick your own.

I sold at auction as it wasn't moving with the estate agent & got the asking price. Lindz has already stated that it isn't generating much interest and asked for ideas/advice, which is what I gave, based on my personal experience.

Why is auctionng a risky business ?.

You could tell the agent to auction it, which is done on site, at the property & have a reserve price to ensure you weren't 'giving it away', but I don't know what rights the tenant has under Australian law.

I'm intrigued to know the source for "prices rising at an incredible rate". It may well be that local landowners have raised their asking prices (typical Cypriot reaction to falling demand) but property prices certainly haven't risen; just the opposite. New build flats in Argaka were on offer at...

David C - are any of these "exciting" developments in Paphos District ?. Perhaps you could list them ?. I find it difficult to differentiate betwen so-called off-plan and 'abandoned' or 'semi derelict'.

Peter, I assume you are considering this as an 'investment' ?. If so, don't !. Property prices have halved over the last 5 years, but that still doesn't make short term rental properties a sound buy. Do some comprehensive research on just how many weeks rental you can expect & what your...

rikkers, You seem remarkably sanguine about an investment made 5 years ago that you haven't been kept uptodate on. Is this the same place as the Caicos Beach Club & Marina ?. That seems to be at a fairly advanced stage of construction, according to its' website.

In the Sunday Times Business News yesterday it was reported that "Almost 800 people are taking High Court action against Alpha Bank ... and Alpha Panaretti" .... "They are also suing several financial advisers"....... "The cases could come to trial in October".

Would these be the same experts who recommended buying in Spain, Bulgaria, Dubai, Cape Verde etc. ?. The words 'experts' and 'property' should not be in the same article, never mind the same sentence !.
