Property Management

You own it. We take care of it.

Two models – you choose how much responsibility and income participation you want to keep.

Model A

Full-Service

We take over the complete letting of your property and you receive the income after a transparent statement.

  • Listings, pricing and bookings on the major portals
  • Guest communication, check-in and check-out
  • Cleaning, laundry and maintenance coordination
  • Regular, traceable statements

20% commission on the gross booking price.

Model B

Rent-to-Rent (Master Lease)

We rent your property from you and let it on. You receive your rent reliably – without occupancy risk and without effort.

  • We let the property and settle our part with the tax office.
  • You receive your rent and take care of your own taxes.
  • Operations, guests and upkeep are on us.

Example calculation

What is left for you?

Calculate it yourself – transparent, step by step: from the booking to your payout (Model A – with 9% VAT or as a small business).

Fixed: commission 20% of the gross booking price. The cleaning fee is a pass-through item: after the portal deduction it covers the cleaning. VAT applies to the booking price only.

Who handles the taxes?

Option 1 (Model A): You are the landlord, we manage. You or your tax adviser pay the VAT on the booking price to the tax office (mandatory from €15,600 annual turnover; below that, small business without VAT).

Option 2 (rent-to-rent): We let the property and settle our part with the tax office. You receive your rent and take care of your own taxes.

Non-binding example. The VAT rate (9% or 19%) and tax treatment depend on the individual case – please have them confirmed by your tax adviser.

Paphos

Why Paphos?

  • In 2025 Paphos reached a 28% share of sales above €1.5 m (PwC Cyprus).
  • Mild climate all year, airport, beaches, marina and historic old town.
  • Strong demand for holiday accommodation – also outside the high season.
  • The Cypriot economy is growing: GDP +3.8%, 3rd in the EU.

Taxes & costs at a glance

  • No state property tax, only minor municipal charges; no inheritance or wealth tax (please clarify consequences in your country of residence).
  • New builds: 19% VAT; 5% only for your own main residence, subject to conditions.
  • Resale: transfer fees (approx. 1.5–4%) instead of VAT; stamp duty abolished since 1 Jan 2026.
  • Holiday letting: registration and VAT obligations depend on turnover – example calculated at 9%.

Example: a good year

Apartment at €250,000, €160 per night, 70% occupancy (a good year; the market average occupancy in Paphos is usually 40–50%): after VAT, portal fee and commission the owner keeps about €23,200 per year – roughly 9.3% of the purchase price (before running costs; model calculation, no yield guarantee). With market-typical values (€130 per night, 50% occupancy) it is about 5.4%. As a small business without VAT it is about €26,500 (approx. 10.6%).
