Buy To Let Investment In Northern Cyprus
by Tim Martins
You may not be at all familiar with property market terminology so in laymen’s terms “Buy to Let” means just that. You only have to buy a property, complete and then let it out. There is just one special rule to take into consideration and that it that your estimated rental income fully covers your mortgage costs.
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.
So let’s quickly run through a nice example of what it will cost you. Let’s say you looking for a property in the value of Euro 250,000, which you can get with a very nice sea view. If you’re buying new then you’ll have to put a reservation fee down for Euro 3000 and this will hold the property for you. After that you’ll have to put a 30% deposit down so that will be around Euro 75,000, don’t forget you have to take the Euro3000 off which you have already paid.
So your remaining amount for your mortgage is Euro 175,000. Now you can get a wide range of mortgages so it’s best to shop around, I have seen them as low as 4.25%, so I’m going to base mine on this. Your monthly mortgage repayments will be around Euro 800. You must remember and this is very important make sure you only get an interest only mortgage. So if you do the sums over a 12 month period you’ll be paying out around Euro 9600.00.
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.
