LIVING-CYPRUS.......has
offered a fantastically efficient service from the start. Having contacted
them through their web site they have been friendly and effective in finding
me suitable properties to view. Upon arriving on an inspection visit in
Cyprus their agents went out of their way to find a property that would
suit our requirements. At no time were they 'pushy' but
offered
sound advice about the whole process. There was no hassle just a friendly
efficient service which made buying a property in Cyprus the exciting process
we hoped it would be. They worked hard to support us with good legal advice
and made sure that we left Cyprus feeling we had made a great sound investment.
Thanks for your help and support, we are looking forward to seeing our
property being built and enjoying the beautiful surroundings, atmosphere
and people of Cyprus.
A
very satisfied customer

I
have visited Cyprus many times since my first visit in 1984 but never in
my wildest dreams did I ever envisage actually owning my own beautiful
villa here. My partner Rosie remarked that she "felt as if she had come
home" when landing at Larnaca airport for the first time in June 2001 and
subsequent visits have confirmed this to her.
When
I suggested buying a property abroad, Cyprus was the obvious joint choice.
We looked at properties in the summer of 2002 and decided to return in
November to look again. I found the www.living-Cyprus.com web site
only 5 days before we were due to travel and filled in the online questionnaire.
The day after our arrival we were met by the representatives of the living-Cyprus
associate in Cyprus who escorted us around an excellent selection of properties
in various locations within our specifications. They were very patient,
extremely helpful and knowledgeable, and discussed the pros and cons with
no pressure.
We
fell in love with our eventual purchase in Oroklini and arranged for a
pool to be built in the garden. The legal aspects were expertly handled
by Areti Charidemou & Associates in Limassol (mostly via e-mail with
us) and we came back on 30th January 2003 for completion. Through www.living-cyprus.com
we were able to save us thousands of CY pounds on our furniture and electrical
purchases by them pointing us in the direction of quality companies that
they knew. The developers were also extremely helpful and friendly.
I
consider myself very fortunate to have discovered the www.living-cyprus.com
web site when I did and would like to sincerely thank everyone involved
in assisting with our purchase. Geoff

I
have just returned from a week in Cyprus that concluded with the purchase
of my dream villa and would like to take the opportunity to thank
the Living-Cyprus team for a most professional service both prior to and
during my visit. All questions (and there were many !) were answered quickly
and the knowledgeable advice prevented, I am sure, many hours of stress
and
heartache.
I
had considered organising everything on my own and am now so glad that
I didn't. The team had prepared visits to various plots and under
construction properties which met my requirements and were within my specified
budget range saving me many hours of what would have been wasted time and
effort. Furthermore I was introduced to Areti, an independent legal representative
who is already doing a first class job on my behalf. The after sales service
has already proved excellent as my questions have yet to dry up i.e. currency
conversion, shipping, property maintenance etc. and as a remote owner the
promise of regular photographs, throughout the construction phase, will
continue to provide reassurance during the coming months.
To
sum up, a World Class Service.

For
some years, my wife and I have been looking for 'a paradise home in the
sun' and have ventured to many destinations. The majority had plenty
to offer but for the most part, left us with a considerable amount of investigative
work to determine if the country was best suited for us.
When
we decided 'to try Cyprus', we were advised to search a dot.com called,
Living Cyprus.Com Accordingly, from the comfort of our Scottish farm
home, we discovered a very comprehensive inspirational guide of this wonderful
island. As one reads the in-depth information professionally presented,
it does at times provoke the thought, 'does all of this sound too good
to be true'? Cost of fuel; cost of living; tax advantages; access
to legal advice; health insurance, and, of course, climate, to name but
a few, clearly demonstrates that a great deal of investigative work is
already done before you set foot on the island. For our part, we
contacted Living Cyprus (UK), as advised, and found them to be most accommodating.
Shortly after our arrival, we were able to rely on their valued support.
Within
4 days and through the good offices of a registered Estate Agent (highly
recommended by Living Cyprus), we were introduced to a company of Land
& Building Developers from whom we bought a most attractive house plot
in Peyia (west of Pathos) - had architectural plans professionally
drawn to our specification, and engaged a quality solicitor who really
does look after our interests. The speed and efficiency with which
these tasks were introduced and satisfactorily completed were entirely
due to the professionalism of Living Cyprus who has the ability to ensure
you are their most important challenge.
The
valuable work of Living Cyprus has been completely free to us as clients
and, furthermore, on our return to the UK after 1 week, they have introduced
us to a London Money Broker who ensures we obtain the best exchange rate
for each tranche of funds sent to meet the stage payments on our house.
In true Living Cyprus fashion, the conversion and transfer of funds are
completely free to the client and, accordingly, Living Cyprus has not only
helped us but has saved us a great deal of money had we chosen to 'plough
our own furrow'.
PLEASE
TAKE NOTE - BE ADVISED - FOLLOW LIVING CYPRUS.

Many
thanks for all the help you have given, everyone we came into contact with
was extremely helpful and the work done before hand certainly made things
easier for us once there. We have put a deposit on a maisonette out there
and are currently making arrangements to transfer the bulk of the money
through one of the currency brokers recommended by you.
Once
again, many thanks for your help.

Dear
Living-Cyprus.com
I
would like to congratulate you on a wonderful service. I have just visited
Cyprus for a week to investigate the property scene and was provided with
a most outstanding service by Living-Cyprus on housing matters including
arranging many viewings and discussions with builders, Chris was a real
star.
He
then brought me to meet Areti Charidemou, the advocate who guided us through
the legal problems in Cyprus, if you don't do things correctly, and finally
we had a detailed briefing from Roger Brooke on Insurance and some of the
pitfalls you find when settling in Cyprus. All of this was without obligation
and was excellent in all respects.
I
like to pass on my appreciation when I receive top quality service, and
I can vouch for the services provided by Living-Cyprus to its clients.
Well
done
Yours
Truly

We
enjoyed our trip to Cyprus very much and the service provided by Chris
and Anna could not have been better.
We
were met at the Airport in the early hours of the morning and taken to
the Apartment that was reserved for us by Chris. The Apartment was fine
for our purpose, particularly as we were set to be out and about all day,
every day.
Chris
arrived and took us to the Paphos area where for the rest of the day and
the whole of the following day he, and Anna, introduced, and accompanied,
us around property and sites associated with 3 local builders.
We
were looking to find a site and arrange to have a Villa built over the
next 18 months. We were shown some good sites but were not able to be shown
examples of completed Villas that we liked. This surprised me as I expected
to see lots of gorgeous Villas but find all the best sites already occupied.
At the end of day 2, we had seen 1 reasonable Villa with promise
from their architech to modify the plans over the weekend for inspection
on Monday.The plot available for this Villa was very steep and would have
had lots of steps up to the entrance.
On
Saturday we embarked with another Agent we had booked and were taken to
see the Leptos development at Kamares Village. Apparently Chris had contacted
Leptos to take us but the other Agent had already booked our names in with
them. We were very impressed with Leptos - the build quality was much better
than what we had seen and the style of the Villas was in line with our
thoughts. The Sales manager promised to come up with some plans to meet
our requirements by the Monday afternoon and when we saw these we had a
deal.
The
visit Saturday afternoon to Aristo builders was not succesful in terms
of plots or properties particularly after seeing the Leptos range.
We
were sorry that the purchase was not completed through Chris. Had he got
in first and booked for us to visit Leptos then he would have got the business.
We got on so well with them both that we intend to keep in touch and hope
to meet up with them on our next visit in October.

Myself
and my family would like to thank yourself, Chris and Anna, for all the
help and support you provided to me before and during my recent trip to
Limassol.
After
scanning the Internet for several months looking for a property to purchase
in the Limassol area it was very refreshing and eventually very rewarding
to have found LIVING-CYPRUS Web Site.
Being
one of the purchasers who did not and could not wait 12-18 months for an
‘Off Plan’ development, and knowing there is not as many readily available
properties, we were delighted to have had a choice when I arrived and over
the moon to have found exactly our requirements, as specified to Chris.
I
must just add that the solicitor you recommended, Areti, was, and still
is, extremely helpful and reassuring, especially when it came to dealing
with the developer.
As
a footnote, I would just like to say that your very strong advice to visit
Cyprus to purchase, rather than purchase from over the Internet or phone,
as I was prepared to do, proved invaluable.
Best
Regards
David
Neal & family (Kent)

We
first visited Cyprus 3 years ago and fell in love with the island, but
then who wouldn’t. One day we knew we would want to go and spend
the rest of our lives there.
Having
researched the possibilities for about the last year we hit on your site
and found it an invaluable source of up-to-date information, which we have
readily passed onto others. Through your contact and advice we were
able to plan a 2-week working holiday in Cyprus, from which we have just
returned.
We
had arranged an appointment with your Cypriot associate Chris who we could
not recommend highly enough. He was polite, supportive and exerted
no pressure whatsoever. He made it his task to find us a suitable
property within our budget. Within our 2 weeks he succeeded in his
task and we completed our mission to our delight, and are now purchasing
our dream property. It’s not every day you fulfil your dream!.
Once
again,
thank you for all your help and I know you will continue to be there on
the other end of the line, as you have for so many others.
Yours
sincerely

Having
decided we wanted to buy a property in Cyprus early on in the year, we
found acquiring information about buying a bit of a task.
I
was advised by a colleague to visit Living-Cyprus.com, just twenty-four
hours before we were due to fly.
Nothing
to lose I thought so on I went, shocked by the amount of information on
this superb website I contacted them immediately.
Everything
we needed to know including contact numbers was listed. Within twenty-four
hours of having arrived in Cyprus we were met by a Living-Cyprus (Cypriot)
representative, who arranged for us to view properties that day. After
giving him our budget and type of property we required, we found exactly
what we wanted, signed a contract and an appointment with a Cypriot Solicitor
was arranged.
By
the end of the week we had achieved our mission, on returning home the
advice has continued regarding paying for the property through a currency
broker, which compared with the Bank saved us £500 on our first payment.
We
are delighted and highly recommend this website.

After
research and checking this site over a period of 4 months, we visited Paphos
in May and managed to buy a relatively new resale - these are rare and
I spent 4 days solid visiting developments and some very poor old properties.
An associate of Living Cyprus called Chris (Akis) from Limassol assisted
by doing the legwork and finding suitable properties.
All
the developers were able to offer properties newly built in the next 12-18
months.
However
this meant buying from plans and trusting your developer, as you would
in the UK.
Cyprus
and Paphos particularly appears to have potential buyers outstripping the
available properties and prices appear to be rising. I checked the local
press and drove around Paphos. Obviously properties go up for sale daily
and like wise sell. The only way is to come to Cyprus and visit as many
agents and developers. Many agents appear to advertise the same properties
or properties which sold 5 years ago!
We
used Chris to assist us find a property in May - he was very polite, courteous
and professional and managed to remind me of my original housing request
and not get carried away in to thinking I would not obtain a property.
Please note he cannot magic up properties into thin air with in your price
range! But he'll ensure you see properties suitable to your needs - if
they are available.
Best
of luck to you all in finding a property - you'll need it!
