North Cyprus Villas...Getting Onto The Buy To Let Investment Market


If you are not accustomed to property market terms then allow me to explain what "Buy to Let" actually means. Well it's quite straight forward really as it's just a question of buying and completing on a property followed by letting it out to as many people as possible. The only important factor to consider is that your rental income covers your mortgage payments.

If you are considering this type of property investment then you need to study the total month times for the Low and High seasons. Let's take Northern Cyprus as an example which has about a seven month high season and the rest is low and let's add to that over 300 days of clear blue skies. You can see why so many people want do get away from dull days and get straight over to sunny Northern Cyprus.

We are now going to go over a real example based on current costs on a property with a sea view valued at 250,000 Euro. If it is a new build property you will be required to leave a 3000 Euro deposit as a reservation fee. You will then be required to pay a total 30% deposit including the 3000 Euro reservation fee amounting to around 75.000 Euro.

The remaining amount due is 175.000 Euro so the best option is a mortgage, but make sure you shop around first. I recently saw one as low as 4.25%, so this will be the base for our calculations making monthly mortgage payments come out out around 800 Euro. Always opt for an interest only mortgage as this will lower the monthly payments, so this time round you would be paying about 9.600 Euro per annum.

If we now take a look at rental statistics and in Northern Cyprus there are 10 months rental income guaranteed. Now comparing to the property we have just bought, you can expect a cool 2600 Euro. in the high season months and 1500 Euro. during the low season.

Right, now let's expand on that and if you rent out for 6 months during the high season and just 4 during the low season, you would rake in an amazing 21.600 Euro in rental income. Things are looking good already but out of that we must account for certain payments such as rental management and community fees, so make sure you find a recommended property management agency, although the costs will not succeed 1000 Euro. per year.

If you feel that this could be the property investment for you in a country which received over 2.6 million visitors last year. It is still a growing trend and there is a need for more properties to let out, so don't miss the boat.
