Investing in previously owned apartments in Cyprus for the purpose of resale presents an intriguing investment opportunity. One highly sought-after strategy involves acquiring secondary real estate in mature developments, followed by comprehensive renovation and subsequent resale.

By revitalizing and modernizing older properties, the potential for significantly boosting their market value emerges. High-quality enhancements render the property more competitive within its category. Prospective buyers often seek properties in Cyprus that are ready for immediate occupancy, eliminating the need for additional investments.

In the subsequent sections, we will delve into the financial aspects of this investment approach, using a specific case study involving one of our clients who acquired an apartment situated just behind the primary line of the central promenade in Larnaca’s Finikoudes area.

Transitioning to the financial details and advantages for the investor, a thorough understanding of the investment’s potential can be gained through a comprehensive calculation. This calculation takes into account the cost of purchase, renovation and furnishing expenses, as well as the applicable taxes and fees during both the acquisition and sale of the apartment.

Here is a detailed table outlining the client’s gains and returns:

Parameter Value
Purchase cost of apartments 77,000 €
Apartment area 32 sq. m
Renovation and furniture expenses 20,000 €

 

Parameter Value
Taxes and fees
Transfer fees 1,155 €

If the seller is an individual resident, CGT is imposed at a rate of 20% on the profit from property sale. There is a lifelong exemption of the first 17,086 € profit for each seller, until this exemption is used.

10 287.40 €
Net profit 41 149.6 €

Examining the calculations and investment data concerning the acquisition, renovation, and resale of the apartments, the following conclusions can be drawn:

High Profitability. The investment’s profitability stands at an impressive 41.32%. This percentage indicates that the investor achieves a return of roughly 41.32% on their initial investment, showcasing the operation’s enticing and favorable nature for potential investors.

Rental Income Potential. Beyond resale, the apartments also possess potential for generating rental income. Their prime location and quality improvements render them appealing to potential tenants.
