Press Release Body: These are heady days in Cyprus. With the euro now its official
currency, tying it in with most of the major economies in the continent (Britain
being the obvious exception), the economy is in a new phase. A new presidency has
begun too, with the tantalising possibility that a solution to the island\'s division
between its Greek and Turkish speaking parts, in place since 1974, will be resolved.

Interesting as these may be, the issue which will concern property investors is the
continued potential of the market while so many others are struggling. The
Independent noted this recently, describing the island as \"bucking the trend\" for
prices with growth of 20 per cent last year, as well as recommending that investors
look to places off the beaten track.



Doing just that meant avoiding the \"party capital\" of Ayia Napa Cyprus Property near
Pahos, since, the paper suggested, there were plenty of bargains, as well as a bit
of scenery and serenity, in more out-of-the-way localities.

Bargain-seekers would find good deals in areas such as the Pera Orinis district
Nicosia Cyprus Property, where Litsa Chrysostomou of local property specialist firm
BuySell Cyprus told the paper: \"Prices of older homes vary widely from £55,000 to
over £270,000, depending on the size and condition of the property.\"

Clearly such prices are highly attractive and not just for Britons. Homemove.co.uk
reported that Russian investors have been moving in as well, excited not just by the
acknowledgement by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors that the country was
a rare beacon of success, but also the expectation that this will continue.

Within Cyprus, the government is said to be working hard to ensure the situation
stays favourable and does not fall victim of the credit crunch. The Cypriot
Financial Mirror has reported that the central bank is seriously considering
repeating the measure of last July in which it advanced extra credit to the
construction sector to head off any slowdown. What worked then, it hopes, will work
now.

Every property market depends on particular factors and influences. In the case of
Cyprus, buy-to-let has a lot to do with the tourist trade, which Cyprus is currently
seeking to expand (witness the adverts currently on British television), Property
Showrooms reports. So for those looking to invest in property, perhaps the most
important issue of all is that this particular sector of the Cypriot economy
continues to grow. While credit crunches come and go, however, the island still has
plenty of sun, sea and culture, the latter perhaps being just the
thing for investors avoiding Ayia Napa to discover.

In today\'s world Property investment is an excellent investment option especially
investment in UK
