Rental Yields in Limassol: What Investors Actually Earn
Gross versus net yield, the costs that separate them, and which unit types produce the deepest tenant demand.
Gross is a headline, net is the return
From gross rent deduct communal charges, insurance, management, maintenance, void periods and income tax. The gap between gross and net is typically wide enough to reorder a shortlist entirely.
What rents well
Two-bedroom apartments close to the business district and international schools have the deepest, most stable tenant pool. Newer, well-insulated units also command a premium because tenants now compare summer electricity bills.
Long let versus short let
Short lets can gross more in season and cost far more to run, with regulatory and building-rule constraints. Corporate long lets to relocating staff are the quieter, more predictable business.
