With such a puzzling array of Apartments for sale in Famagusta Cyprus advertised each week, how can a buyer looking for an investment opportunity or a new home or appartment truly determine whether they’re comparing like for like and getting quality and value for money?
As anyone who’s visited Famagusta area in Cyprus or who resides here already knows it’s neither a case of comparing Apartments by location nor simply comparing prices - oh no, the process is a lot more complicated than that! So, here’s our guide to the successful steering of the real estate market in Famagusta, Cyprus for anyone seeking Apartments or Villas for sale here.
Apartment - Sale - Build quality
by Karayiannas Property Developers
Some builders put in a damp proof course and some don’t, some build with a cavity wall, some just use one layer of the red hollow clay bricks. Some buildings are seismically reinforced throughout with even a solid concrete roof, some just have a wooden frame and a non-insulated tiled roof balanced on thin wooden beams.
You should get what you pay for but often a house or apartment that is badly built is beautifully finished and sold for a far higher price than it’s worth. If you’re buying new or off plan check out the build quality of houses and apartments built by your developer and ask lots of difficult questions - unless you want to be living in a freezing cold leaky house or apartment in the winter!
Apartment - In - Plot size
If buying apartments or houses off plan it is sometimes very hard for people to work out exactly how big their proposed plot will be. Get exact measurements from your builder and if possible ask him to mark out your boundaries and also the base of your house or apartment so you know how much space you’ll have all around your home to play with. If he can’t do this ask him to draw to scale on a piece of paper the plot and how exactly your house will fill that plot. You might be surprised to find your house will swallow up the land and you’ll be pressed up against your neighbour’s fence when parking your car! Alternatively you may find you have an enormous garden and will be able to fit in an Olympic size pool and a 5 car garage! The larger the plot, naturally the more you would expect to be paying!
Apartment size
If you’re buying off plan get all the main room measurements from the developer and with a tape measure compare room sizes with the house or apartment you’re living in now to have a realistic idea of the space you’ll have to play with. You can then see whether the pretty artist impression will actually turn into a doll’s house or apartment with no room for your dining room table or whether it’s a well thought out and spaced out living space.
It should follow that the better lay out and more spacious a property is the more expensive it will be!
And finally, never buy apartments unseen - even if you’re buying off plan you need to meet the developer, see the proposed plot of land, examine other houses or apartments your developer has built in Famagusta, Cyprus and you should also consider visiting the wider area around your planned home or apartment to get an idea of what’s around you.
