I know this is going to sound hilarious, but in my six years in Cyprus<\/a> I have lived in total of 5 different properties<\/strong>. Each one had its own twist and story to tell and was a steep learning curve. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you’re planning to move to Cyprus, the most important piece of advice I can give you is to know your priorities<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n By that I mean know what’s most important for you – easy access to workplace, short commute, decent living space that doesn’t make you depressed, living in a lower quality accommodation but closer to the beach, living walking distance to a shop\/restaurant or having to drive everywhere and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I will shed a bit of light on my personal experience, if you want to skip straight to the practical advice head right to the point number one instead of listening to this account of encounters with properties in Cyprus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I moved to Cyprus<\/a> in 2013 <\/strong>with then my boyfriend, now husband. We both moved from London living in a tiny place that can only be described as a living hell on Earth (and that’s being kind). From there we moved to a gorgeous 3 bedroom villa in Kissonerga<\/strong>, that cost half of our rent in London and had 180C panoramic sea views. <\/p>\n\n\n\n What we didn’t know back then is that most houses have no kind of heating for the winter so we ended up using airconditioning to heat up a large open space living area which ended up costing<\/a> us around 400 eur for 2 months period in winter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The house itself was an absolute dream. Small garden, gorgeous decent size pool, breathtaking views and a large first floor terrace. We even got some resident lizards moving in that we were feeding regularly, had outdoor BBQ spot (where we hilariously tried to grill a whole turkey one Christmas) and a parking spot for the car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
