We realize that there is an enhancing passion from Home Customers from China. Regrettably there are no data available at this point of time, yet approximates variety the wrapped up deals from 100-600 over the last couple of months as well as who we have actually put on the Lands Office to transfer the contract. The Chinese Customer is just interested (at this moment of time) to get a building not much less than EUR300.000 (and also not much a lot more either) a sum needed to validate an application for a permanent residency visa. Until now the indications declare and this pattern is expected to continue and at an enhancing price. It is additionally a fact that the Chinese do not understand Cyprus (not even where it is) not to mention the prevailing rates and procedures. The objective to "obtain the visa" it appears that blinds them from executing some type of basic due diligence. What is more stressing is that in addition to the regional developers/agents etc that, to an extent, care little about their customers, what is worse, is the Chinese visa/estate agents who care even less. So based on our own information, a Chinese agent calls for:
± EUR20.000 for protecting the visa from the candidate
15% -20% compensation on the sales price
20% -30% payment on the lawful fees where an attorney is entailed. Regional lawyers bill around EUR2.000/ case but this is on the up with everyone trying to hop on the "treasures" bandwagon.
You do value that all this type of charges push up the prices, boosting them accordingly with the unaware Chinese customer getting to practically double truth cost. Talking at our Lands Office Pafos coworkers we were notified that all sales are around EUR300.000 be it 1, 2, 3 bed apartment or condos. This odd situation reveals that somebody has being had.
It is with an excellent disappointment that we recognize these going ons, because, we will, now, as a country, have begun to experience some kind of realty revival from this market. Home purchase is initially, as a start, with the much more serious purchasers as well as financiers to follow. A recent sale of a certain suite at Limassol for EUR2.5 mil. to a Chinese is a beginning, as is a significant enquiry by a Chinese designer that wishes to increase in Cyprus. We really feel that either the Government through the Lands Office/or the Chinese embassy in Cyprus, the China-Cyprus association as well as even CIPA should look at this scenario extra carefully and also alert the Chinese citizens on the possibilities of cheating that there may be in a transaction. Rather than inhibiting the Chinese rate of interest, we feel that this activity, on the other hand, will certainly urge them to invest a lot more, since this will certainly give them an added sensation of safety and security. If we avoid to do this, our Chinese real estate success will certainly be very brief lived and it will contribute to the existing numerous foreign miserable purchasers, who have actually assisted via their objections etc to press the marketplace near the bottom quicker them otherwise. The scenario advises us of the mostly British ทาวน์โฮมมือสอง estate companies (cowboys) that set up assessment trips cost free and also the customers were hearted like a flog of sheep and were marketed residential or commercial properties with a commission to the agent 15% -20%. Currently these buyers are the actual people that have the major issues with these cowboy representatives, no place to be discovered because their Cos were dissolved. Notwithstanding the above as well as at this point of time, the Chinese market is also important to fool around with. Had we have direct flights it would certainly have been wonderful as well as I comprehend that the CTO is taking into consideration some kind of a direct link next year. But then China is such a vast nation it stays a problem on exactly how to get to the location airports.
For these reasons we do suggest:
A fundamental information leaflet in the Chinese language will be an excellent aid stating that:
No requirement to pay the ± EUR20.000 for the visa. A regional legal representative can do it providing a set rate of say EUR2.000. To accomplish an assessment on the building to acquire in order to determine any rises from the appropriate market price. To look for mortgages and other obstacles consisting of structure authorizations etc. To have a good expertise of the usual expenses, transfer costs, property taxes etc which do not included the buy yet they show up later. To select a neighborhood to take care of their residential property when absent or via the programmer to seek a regular monthly record considering that they are not "next door". To be provided a price of the living index itemized, health and wellness and upkeep cost, insurances and so on. Etc etc
In the meanwhile we are preparing a Chinese info site for them and their advisors to study (in Chinese).
There will certainly be constantly scoundrels around yet we ought to take a preventive activity currently to make sure that our past errors are not repeated. The Chinese consular office has a huge role to play as is the China Cyprus Organization and certainly the Cyprus Government.
