Apartments
 |
There are many new build and off plan
apartments for sale as well as re-sale in the Side area.
Most apartments are built in purpose built blocks and can
have 1-4 bedrooms, often an open plan kitchen-lounge and
1 or 2 bathrooms. |
Duplexes
&
Triplexes
 |
These are similar to what we Europeans call "maisonettes".
They are usually built on 2 floors similar to a normal house
with a bathroom, kitchen-lounge downstairs and 2-4 bedrooms
upstairs with bathrooms. Often duplexes are built one on
top of the other or on the top of an apartment and built
on a complex.

Houses
& Villas
 |
You will have a choice of a re-sale,
off plan or design and build properties. Some houses are
based on a complex with shared facilites and a monthly maintenance
charge. Others are private properties built to your specifications
and you are responsible for the upkeep. |

Just as the area is vital, so too is
choosing the right type of property!
When thinking of somewhere to live most European
people have in mind a house and garden, but most continental people
think of an apartment or duplex. It can have lots of advantages for
someone wanting a holiday home or a home in which they can live for
only part of the year.
If you are not ready for such a revolutionary change
then we have a large variety of properties ranging from quaint cottages
on the beach to villas and land to build on.
Think about both your current and future requirements,
whether you are buying with a view of a quick re-sale or whether you
are looking to let or use it as a home. Buy the best house For most
people an apartment makes a sensible choice of holiday home but may
not offer you what you are looking for in a home. You will need to
decide what you are prepared to sacrifice in order to buy what is
best for your circumstances.
