News
Hi,
It’s Peter Parfait here,
from HPA/PAN/Booksender.com,
with a further selected and
filtered property opportunity
for you.
This time from Xavier International,
who come highly recommended,
and they’re offering
15% instant equity:
Focus On Southern Cyprus -
With 15% Instant Equity
The Jewel Of The Mediterranean
As
well as being one of the
Mediterranean’s premier
holiday destinations, with
an average 340 days of
sunshine every year, Cyprus
is fast
becoming one of the hottest
places in which to invest
in property, with the ancient
city of Larnaca and the
southeast coast of the island
leading
the charge.
Larnaca is one of the oldest
cities in the world, founded
more than 2,000 years ago.
The graceful majestic palms
that line the waterfront promenade
serve as a reminder of the
17th century when it was the
diplomatic and trading capital
of Cyprus. Its ancient fort
and historic centre enhance
its distinctly antique flavour.
The city is relaxed and has
an extremely laid-back atmosphere
and is well loved for its easy
going attitude and the friendly
local people.
Attractions
Besides a fabulous climate,
the warm clear waters
of the Mediterranean and
a staggering
cultural and architectural
heritage, the southern
Cypriot coast offers a
whole lot
more.
Heading away from Larnaca,
the Troodos Mountains
offer welcome respite to
anyone suffering from
an overdose
of beach life.
Travel inland just
a little
and Cyprus’s palette
changes from the thirsty ochres
of the coast to a lush green
mosaic that cloaks the mountains.
Travel through the dramatic
scenery, with peaks rising
to more than 6,000ft, and you
are taken back in time to an
older Cyprus, a world away
from the cosmopolitan coast.
Walking trails weave their
way through the woods and forests
taking in half- forgotten villages,
glorious Byzantine churches
and remote monasteries. And
if you’re in Cyprus between
New Year and March, it’s
also possible to go skiing.
Mount Olympus has 7 runs, so
it’s possible
to enjoy an afternoon
on
the piste
before heading back
down to the coast
for some lively apres-ski.
Buying in Cyprus
Compared to many countries,
the logistics of
buying property in
Cyprus for
foreign nationals
are relatively simple.
Property ownership taxes
are low,
on average £75-£150
per year, depending on the
value of the property. Capital
gains tax is 20%, however the
first £11,750
is exempt. There
is no Inheritance
tax
and contrary to the
risks inherent in
the
purchase
of property
in some other countries,
Cyprus has never
been involved in
the nationalisation
of any sector of
the economy,
nor
in the expropriation
of property owned
by foreigners.
This
makes it a safe and
secure country
in which to invest
your hard-earned
cash. A further
thing to
bear in mind is the
reciprocal social
security agreement
the UK has with Cyprus.
Not
only
would
those retiring there
benefit from the
glorious climate,
and the lower cost
of living, they would
also
take advantage
of the lower rates
of income tax, which
are
currently
far more generous
than
in the UK.
Growth
The property market in Cyprus
has experienced a boom in recent
years and this is set to continue
as the country realises the
fruits of joining the EU. Prices
are forecast to rise considerably
in the next few years and even
conservative estimates are
predicting increases of at
least 50% by 2008. Cyprus is,
after all, only a small island
and with the current high demand
for property, empty land is
vanishing fast, especially
in prime locations on, or near,
the coast. Accession to the
EU has also seen the lifting
of restrictions on foreigners
owning property and this is
forecast to lead to an increase
in demand by 50%-100%, thus
generating increases in both
sale and rental values.
After
Spain and France, Cyprus
is the most
popular destination
for Brits looking
to buy property
abroad, and it’s not
hard to see why. Property here
offers great value-for-money
and gross rental yields in
Cyprus currently stand at 7%-10%,
making it attractive as both
a buy-to-sell and buy-to-let
destination. Its position at
the crossroads of 3 continents,
Europe, Asia and Africa (it’s
as near to Moscow
and Bahrain as
it is to
London and
Paris), will
ensure a steady
stream
of both visitors
and investors
alike, all
attracted by
the rich and
diverse cultural
influences
that make Cyprus
what it is
today.
Now is the ideal time to invest
in property in Cyprus and in
Larnaca in particular, which
offers significant investment
opportunities in both the short,
medium and long term.
And
If That’s
Not Enough …
· The relatively low cost of living in Cyprus offers a full but comparatively
inexpensive lifestyle.
· Cyprus enjoys a remarkably low crime rate, 1/10 of the European average.
· There is a good education system with both junior and secondary schools
of a high standard catering for English speaking pupils.
· Cypriot banking practice closely follows the British system.
· Cyprus’s telecommunications are among the best in the world and
have helped establish the island as an important offshore business
centre.
· Greek is the national language, however English is widely spoken and
understood almost everywhere.
· And they even drive on the left.
Since its accession to the EU last year, Cyprus is no longer just another tourist
destination offering sandy beaches and warm sunshine. With freedom
of movement for EU nationals it’s fast becoming a desirable live,
work, investment and retirement option for people from all over Europe.
Grab A Piece Of The Action
Larnaca is rapidly gaining popularity as a holiday destination and is seeing
considerable interest from the overseas property purchaser, seeking a sound investment
opportunity. With the prices of property and plots of land increasing rapidly,
any interested parties will need to get in quick.
One
effortless and easy way to
stake your claim would be
to purchase an apartment
in the fabulous new ‘Majestic Gardens’ development,
currently being offered by Xaviar International. Situated
on the outskirts of the pretty
little
village of Tersefanou, just a few miles south of Larnaca,
the
developers could not have picked a better location. With
spectacular views
of both the Mediterranean
and the Troodos mountains and within walking distance of
their own soon-to-be-constructed
5-star golf resort, this
development
will
be perfect as a retreat for
those seeking privacy, relaxation and the warmth of the Mediterranean
sun.
The complex consists of five 2-storey blocks boasting a selection of spacious
1-bed and 2-bed apartments, penthouses, a communal swimming pool and tennis courts.
They are designed to high specifications and offer excellent capital growth and
rental opportunities. Buyers will also benefit from an instant 15% equity, as
there is no VAT to pay.
Both
internally and externally
the apartments will be finished
to the highest standards. Not only that, but clients will
have the opportunity
to put
their own mark on their property. The developers are welcoming
client input and
offering to decorate according to the client’s colour
preference. In the living area, bedrooms, bathroom and
kitchen, high quality
tiles will
be used and clients
will be able to choose from a large selection of colours,
finishes and designs. Buyers will also have the same choice
when it
comes to the woodwork
in the
apartments. Optional upgrades, such as central satellite
system provision, alarm system,
bathroom upgrades and a central audio system, will also
be available on all properties.
A full property management service will be provided that includes:
· Property maintenance
· Property rentals
· Gardening and Landscaping
· Pool maintenance
· Cleaning service
· Welcome pack service
Construction And Payment Schedule
· Reservation deposit of CYP 2,000 (£2,350), which will be deducted
from the payment of 30% at Stage 2.
· Payment of 30% is required at the signing of contracts.
· Payment of 20% is required upon completion of skeleton stage.
· Payment of 20% is required upon completion of brickwork.
· Payment of 20% is required upon completion of flooring.
· Final payment of 10% upon full completion and delivery. This is estimated
to be December 2006.
All-in-all
southern Cyprus is a tremendous
place to invest and with
Xaviar Development’s
15% instant equity, you’re already ahead of the
game.

Positive Club
“It’s a bandit, a robber, a burglar - a crook!”
Of all the mental disciplines that will propel anyone over to the success
side of the game – perhaps the art (and science) of ‘getting
things done’ must rank in the top 3 – at least!
Today’s idea is just so darned useful that I want it to stick to your
brain like congealed egg yolk cemented to a cold breakfast plate!
‘
Procrastination is the thief of time’ shouts the well worn expression.
And – Yes!
It’s true – just so true.
In fact; not just a thief of time, but a bandit, a robber, a burglar, a
crook – a sneaky stealer of success!
So why? Oh why? Do so many people suffer from this habitual and insidious
dis-ease?
Do they lack discipline?
No – they get up every morning.
Do they lack focus?
No – they do get some great stuff done.
Do they lack skills?
No – otherwise they wouldn’t be surviving at all!
Or could it be – that they lack certain pieces of knowledge that could
instantly eradicate the problem – forever!
Ah ha!
Well here they are:
The secret keys that unlock the door labelled ‘Procrastination’.
Well – I say unlock the door – in my experience they don’t
just unlock the door – they instantly crumple it off its hinges.
Key #1
Successful people do procrastinate…
What!!
Yes – in the 92 interviews I’ve enjoyed with successfuls from
all walks of living – I didn’t find a single one who wasn’t
ruthless about avoiding the stuff they didn’t feel was of the highest
priority.
Yes - they had do lists as long as a basketball player’s arms – BUT – if
that job, that task that activity wasn’t up there hovering over the
hoop – it got dumped!
Key #2
They have a ‘system’ to put the tasks in priority order.
Sounds so simple doesn’t it – and it should - because it is!
Here’s my version:
The Carpet Fitter’s Technique
It’s robbed from the expression:
“
Measure it twice and cut it once because it saves you cutting it twice if
you only measure it once”
Might be worth reading that just a couple of times – cos that’s
the congealed egg!
Ok how?
Do a list of the activities to be done.
Might be ALL the tasks of the day, the week, the month, the year, the decade – life!
OR
The steps to achieve a certain outcome – it matters not which.
Once you’ve written the list – prioritise it – on the
RIGHT HAND edge of the paper.
Fold that ‘edge’ under – so you can’t peek at it.
Prioritise again – with no thought of the first time.
Unfold the edge and compare the two lists – and then…
Prioritise for the 3rd time using the thoughts you’ll think by the
first two lists.
That’s it!
Simple – yes
Easy – yes
Quickish – yes; although it does take a couple of moments of irreplaceable
time
Works like a starving man on piecework - yes
Now you’ll know what to do and more thinkingly in which order they
have to done.
Key #3
Take action!
Nothing more to be said about that is there?
Well – I better get on and re-prioritise the rest of the actions on
my two lists for today - my Do List and my Don’t List – now
that I’ve completed item #1.
