* Based on data
from table A & B above.
The conclusion is that 1 bedroom apartments offer the best annual return
- an average of 7%. As far as towns Nicosia* is leading with an average
of 6.8% and Paphos** is last with 4.6%.
* Nicosia not only is the capital and the largest town in Cyprus but also
has many universities and colleges that lead to an increase in demand
for rental properties.
** Paphos even though it has higher rental rates than Larnaca and Famagusta
the rental return is lower due to the fact that properties in Paphos are
more expensive.
