Cyprus in Transformation Mode Cyprus property market is going through a transformation. Cyprus property transactions are on the up showing 20% increase in the first quarter 2014 but without any notable recovery in price levels. The statistical data released by the Land & Survey Department in April showed surprising results. In Cyprus, we are used to see number of property sales to foreigners literally dwarfing sales to Cypriots. However, according to the latest statistics, a massive 70% of the total property sales in Cyprus have been registered in favour of the local clients! Are Cypriot buyers becoming more risk averse, lost faith in their government and decided that investment in bricks and mortar represent the only secure investment? At Fitzgerald’s we do not believe so. Cypriots are just that much quicker to assess the situation on the ground and grasp the investment opportunity the market offers that much earlier. Cyprus indeed has turned the ‘corner’, and the air of optimism in the future is high in all quarters. At the recent European Parliamentary elections the governing party has garnered more support than other parties. The elections have confirmed there is a consensus among the voters, that Cyprus is on track to recovery and consultations with the Troika, etc are slowly achieving positive changes in the country and Cyprus society. Whilst foreign buyers have seemingly ‘lost’ some confidence in investing in the Cyprus property market, this situation has also dramatically improved. At Fitzgerald’s, our international marketing attracts property investors from across the globe and, we are pleased to see, that a growing number of Cypriots avidly follow our website and also figure among our clients. The growth in property inquiries, across all property categories, is very encouraging for us as registered estate agents and for Cyprus.
International news is encouraged by Cyprus maturity and the country’s willingness to change signalling that Cyprus has entered a new period of stabilisation. We see a renewal of healthy interest in Cyprus property and in May the number of inquiries and viewings rose by 25% from April 2014. It also means that whilst Cyprus is being transformed to achieve robust recovery, the international investors are showing renewed confidence in Cyprus. For Fitzgerald’s being in the forefront to offer quality properties, reliable and realistic market prices and, importantly, to offer properties with title deeds is what is absolutely vital in today’s watchful market. P.S The economic sentiment indicator (ESI) rose 2.3 points in May to 100.7 points, topping its 100point base level for the first time in four years. (Cyprus Mail, May 28)

Apartment Transformation in 7 Days Daryl junior is absolutely passionate about the world of architecture. Open minded and inspired by his surroundings Daryl sees possibilities that go beyond the limits of space. Forever building structures in his mind, he sought understanding of architecture across ages and cultures by visiting Japan, China, Italy, Lebanon, France, Spain, Greece, Australia, Thailand, UK and more, to study and observe peoples relationship with their architecture. As a keen observer of peoplenature relationship, he forges on to design innovative, eco friendly spaces to satisfy the modern needs. Daryl has burst on the art scene with his innovative installation work with his take on ‘heavy’ literature using second hand bricks. Taken up by fashion and lifestyle magazines , the ‘bricks’ become an export item worldwide sourced by shops,
galleries, pubs, restaurants, avantgarde residential units, etc. Presently Daryl does commission work in London creating exciting new concepts for the growing number of chains of theme restaurants across the UK.
His latest venture is the total refurbishment of Laertis Apartment in Kato Paphos, one of the apartments that we were selling. The new owner of the apartment sought to create a totally new image for his apartment giving us a window of seven (7) days! Daryl originally visited the apartment on one of this trips to Paphos and the rest, all was done liaising with Daryl over the internet. Sourcing local craftsmen, tiles, furniture, lighting, etc (a lot of items were shipped from the UK), for Fitzgerald’s Estate Agency it was a master ‘in house’ affair. Bella’s husband, Dometios, did the tiling and installations and Jo, our accountant, doubled up as the chief coordinator. The transformation has now been completed. The result?
" Daryl I met the main builder and we chatted and like his work; also love the design style and bits and pieces; nice Daryl. Am going to have to buy now a new wardrobe of clothes to match the flat!" Nick daryl.pj.fitzgerald@gmail.com
