We recently wrote to Viceroy Invest members about the amazing increases in property values round the forthcoming Tersefanou Golf Resort, as well as the wider Larnaca district in general. In the Tersefanou area, prices have grown, and are still growing, at close to 15% every 3 months! [more]

One of the many considerations when buying property abroad is the local tax regime. What are the local rates of income tax? Capital gains tax? Inheritance tax? and so on. Whilst they may not be the final reason for investing or not investing, they are nevertheless of vital importance and need to be understood.[more]

"And I'm sure there's at least one more increase in 2006."

That's a prediction from our October e-zine which came true at the November meeting of the monetary policy committee. Whether or not we shall see further increases in early 2007 is currently for debate. As a non-economist I think there is a possibility (perhaps even a probability) that rates will rise again in the spring by .25%. Beyond that it will depend very much on the U.S Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank. [more]

We are always delighted when a new development sells out: it means our members agree with our view that it's a great investment. But amongst the major sell-outs there will always be the occasional remaining or returning unit. [more]

I'm neither a historian nor an economist but I've got a good memory and I notice what's going on.

My wife and I bought our first house when we were 23 year-old newlyweds in 1971. It was a brand new 3 bed semi in Fulwood, a reasonable suburb of Preston, and cost us £5,450. Mortgage interest rates were six and five eighths (sounds like a school cap size) percent, an all time high in those days, and we were offered a maximum 2.5 times my salary plus 1x my wife's as she was considered (rightly) to be of child bearing age.
