If you are not accustomed to property market terms then allow me to explain what “Buy to Let” actually means. Well it’s quite straight forward really as it’s just a question of buying and completing on a property followed by letting it out to as many people as possible. The only important factor to consider is that your rental income covers your mortgage payments.

If you decided to buy and then rent out your property you must remember there are two seasons, Low Season and High Season. A high season in Northern Cyprus will be around 7 months of the year, while the low season is the remaining months which are left, but don’t worry because Northern Cyprus as over 300 days of the year of clear blue skies and you’ll find that families like to get away from the dull winter to a nice sunny place like Northern Cyprus.

We are now going to go over a real example based on current costs on a property with a sea view valued at 250,000 Euro. If it is a new build property you will be required to leave a 3000 Euro deposit as a reservation fee. You will then be required to pay a total 30% deposit including the 3000 Euro reservation fee amounting to around 75.000 Euro.

The remaining amount due is 175.000 Euro so the best option is a mortgage, but make sure you shop around first. I recently saw one as low as 4.25%, so this will be the base for our calculations making monthly mortgage payments come out out around 800 Euro. Always opt for an interest only mortgage as this will lower the monthly payments, so this time round you would be paying about 9.600 Euro per annum.

The average rental over a 12 month period for a Northern Cyprus property is around 10 months plus. Now on a property valued at this much you can ask for the following rental prices; High Season Euro 2600 Per Month – Low Season Euro 1500 per Month.

So let’s say you rent your property out for 6 months in the high season and 4 months in the low season… your total rent for the year would be Euro 21600. Now you’re telling me that there’s no money in renting. There are other charges to pay which include rental management, community fees and the cost of these will range depending on which rental management you take your property out with. But the cost is way less than Euro 1000.

So if your fancy buying a property and renting it out why not try Northern Cyprus, over 2.6 million people visited Cyprus last year and this number is growing year by year, so you can see there is a massive market for renting.
