We are considering moving back out to Cyprus to live permanently in the next couple of years, after selling our business (we lived there from 1997 to 2000). We also intend to buy a property in either Pissouri or Paphos next year before moving out.
There are a couple of questions that I would like to ask, the planning is still very much in the embryonic stage at the moment.
1. What would be a survivable amount of income per month to live on? I'm planning on just relaxing with gardening, hillwalking, photography and normal socialising (nothing too exciting).
2. Which location would you consider the best area to buy? I liked Paphos when we were out there, however we could escape the hussle and bussle of the tourists back on the the quite part of the island were we lived previously. Pissouri was still relatively undeveloped as a tourist destination when we were out there, and by reading the forums seems to be a better place to live. What is your opinion?
3. Do you have any recommendations on estate agents? Is the property market starting to move again, or still fairly static?
4. Import a car or buy locally?
I hope you can help.
