Consider Energy Saving, Ecologically Sound building
methods when choosing or developing your new house,
apartment or villa in Cyprus.
In the traditional homes of Cyprus, whether they were
village properties of the peasant class or the more
affluent town houses, both were built with the climate
in mind. You will see that there were internal windows
and door in the town houses, with plakka or stone slab
floors, even in the upstairs floors. These floors were
placed on mud or earth layers. Thick walls of up to a
meter provided a decent R value (The technical term for
insulation value) and in the mornings buckets of water
would be sloshed on the floors, serving more than one
purpose. One was the obvious, 'to clean them', the other
was to re dampen the mud so that through the heat of the
day the water would evaporate, the breeze would blow
through the house from the internal and external windows
thus creating the nearest thing to free air conditioning
ever invented. (apart from the amazing work of
termites.) Nowadays we have moved away from such
methods towards the costly use of electrical appliances
and wasteful un-renewable energy sources. We need to
demand a return to sustainable energy use and
conservation of tried and tested housing solutions for
the climate we live in. It will only
happen through demand it seems and unfortunately the
demand up to now has been for the cheapest or the most
impressive. Lets impress our children and grandchildren
and spend the few extra euros to build a future
for them that will last as long at least as the houses
we have been hurriedly knocking down before a
preservation order is slapped on them.
There are those working in the right direction, but we
need more of those with vision on both sides. You the
buyer must vote with your pocket, architects and
engineers must also present their work to the public.
This is an invitation for both sides of this symbiosis
to get together and develop housing as it should be, for
generations to come to enjoy and treasure.
The country has many names, in fact the original name
comes from the copper that was mined here. Hence Kubrus
or Kubris. The Isla de Cipro or Chphre |
Welcome
to Cyprus property Developers.
Cyprus property developers is here as a guide
for those of you who may be thinking of buying a property in Cyprus. A home in the sun
in a place where one may still allow your
children the freedom you may have enjoyed as a
child. A place where whether you are looking to buy a villa, flat, apartment, semi detached or detached house,
you may do so off plan, or if you intend building your own (after finding a suitable piece of land) and wish to consider traditional construction methods, modern industry standard building methods or new technology building materials, we can offer you a look at the choices available.
The traditional building methods from the past
in this part of the word was stone and mud
brick, a method which still stands up as a more
ecologically sound method than concrete. There
was no air conditioning or central heating, and
yet the houses in Cyprus were cool in the
blisteringly hot summers and cool in the short
yet sharp winters.
We are a leading Independent specialist in the Cypriot
real estate property market. We wish to lead
you to consider the future of this delightful
island before it sinks under the weight of over
commercial development
Find your ideal piece of land, then
you need an architect, (even if you have the
house of your dreams in your head) a builder or
contractor, various, tradesmen (from plumbers and electricians to painters and decorators), structural engineers,
solar energy consultants and engineers, heating and air conditioning engineers and anything else you may need in your quest for a pleasant and functional residence or holiday home in a country where you may not be entirely au fey or comfortable with the methods or protocols in place.
Things do run a little differently in Cyprus than they do in either the UK or other parts of Europe and there are certain pitfalls
for buyers in the
acquisition of property in Cyprus that are better avoided.
Using our Property portals and our other
numerous services, we hope that we can help you ease gently into the property of your dreams and spend many happy years enjoying the sunshine before
eventually realizing the interest on your investment when we help you sell it for a profit.
We offer categorized links for the major property developers in Cyprus by Area
or by Developer. We do not use their real
names, there is a reason for this as we do not
charge for the advertising on the site and it is
funded by the ancient skill of not the estate
agent, but the commission agent. What is the
difference? We do not push a particular
developer, we do not have any in house
nepotistic relationships, in fact we lean away
from the more commercial building methods
towards the 'alternative'. We wish to
realise our dream of turning alternative into
mainstream, but this takes money , we wish to
build several show homes using modern technology
and traditional methods to create self
sufficient homes which contribute to the
landscape and energy options rather than detract
from those. We need you to consider, when
planning or buying your house, villa, townhouse, flat, appartment,
shop, farm, smallholding or building of any
nature that there are options available to you
to 'grow' the movement towards a sustainable,
energy conserving housing market in Cyprus. |
