Pre-arranged mortgages
Probably the most important part of the process. When you invest in Cyprus you have the benefit of knowing that your mortgage will be arranged and approved up-front, even if the property is 2 years away from delivery.
So, in other words, you can buy now, have the property independently valued and then a mortgage arranged and approved for the full amount needed. This will not leave you in a situation where 2 years down the line you will need to find more money to complete on your purchase due to down valuation or changing criteria.
The simple fact that the banks are lending to you on a project that is yet to be completed also means that they take far greater care in confirming valuations up-front and throughout the build. Banks will not take the risk of over exposing themselves which by default protects you.
