1. What are you looking for?

Consider the reasons behind your decision to buy an overseas property.

Decide on your preferred destination.

Write your Wish List: do you want to be near golf courses, overlooking the sea, within walking distance of a cosmopolitan centre with shops and entertainment or perhaps you would prefer the tranquillity of a pretty inland village.

Decide how much you want to spend. (Talk to an independent finance specialist before your departure.)

Wherever your destination, Maricasa Real Estate can provide expert advice and offer the widest choice of properties. They will answer all your queries including the suitability of an area, how payments can be structured, the best way to finance your purchase, completion of paperwork, opening a bank account, provide an introduction to English speaking property lawyers, assist with furnishing packages and deliver excellent after sales support.

2. View the properties for real!

They say the best way to learn a language is to visit the country…....the same is true when buying an overseas property! It’s essential you visit and view before making such an important decision. Have a good look around and get a feel for the area, the people and the lifestyle. Our Inspection Tours are an excellent and economical way of doing this. If you prefer to make your own travel arrangements, simply tell us when you are going and which days you would like to set aside for viewings.

Prior to your arrival, our Associates will prepare a portfolio of properties, tailored to suit your specific requirements. You can be assured of excellent, non intrusive personal service. Your Consultant will show you around the local areas including the beaches, restaurants, bars, golf courses, leisure facilities, etc.

Once you’ve found the perfect property, your Consultant will arrange for you to reserve it with a small deposit. Ask lots of questions – it’s better to get all the information before you return home!

You will be given the opportunity to meet with a lawyer, financial advisor, after sales team, etc. It’s entirely up to you but we do recommend you talk to the experts as soon as possible.

3. I can’t find what I want, can you help?

We understand that it can be very difficult to know from descriptions and photographs whether one property is right for you or not. Our representatives know most of the properties on our site extremely well, so can often help in deciding which properties most closely match your requirements. Let us know the kind of thing you’re interested in: the location, the style, the plot size, proximity to town and neighbours, the number of bedrooms, and of course the budget, and we can advise which properties do and which do not meet your needs.

4. How can I get to see the properties?

There is no substitute for coming out here and having a look at the properties in the flesh - that’s when you really get an idea about what’s right and what’s not

We offer tailor-made no obligation Inspection Trips which give you some days dedicated to searching for the right property. See our Inspection Trips page for more details.

Alternatively you can make an appointment by calling or e-mailing us. We try and show you as many properties to give you a good idea of what´s available.

5. Why use Maricasa Estate?

Maricasa Estate offers a complete service for anyone wishing to buy in the Larnaca region - every step of the way we are there to help and advice, and the service doesn´t stop once the purchase is complete - we are always here to help however many years later you might need our advice.

Our licensed real estate office has an unrivalled selection of new properties throughout the entire region and can commit to showing you a broad selection whatever your budget or requirements, allowing you to get a really good appreciation of exactly what´s on offer.

6. Do I have to use your solicitor when I purchase a property?

No. You are free to use a solicitor of your choice or we can recommend one in the local area.

7. How can I be sure that the property is legal?

Before any property is put onto our website, we check the basic paperwork with the owner to ensure that the property is legally registered. Following any commitment to purchase, we instruct an independent solicitor to thoroughly review all the paperwork associated with the property and also conduct searches to ensure that there are no urban plans which may affect the property.
